Thanks Michael,

So they just shape and dry them. No added biomass? like the chips they talk about?  I’ve seen pictures of them stuck to trees, houses etc. 
Then sell them. Some must be better than others - ash and all. And there must be special stoves to burn them. 

Are they only made from cow dung? I would think quality would be all over the map and good the check if they are selling them.  

Just wondering. 

Thanks

frank

>> Overall rural fuel inflation was 6.8% in 2015-16, which is more than two-and-a-half times the figure for urban areas -2.7%.The sharp increase in rural cooking fuels was due to soaring prices of dung cake and firewood chips. What caused inflation is not known, but it is likely that the supply of dung cake is falling due to fewer people making them.
