Also I think it important to hear the price of fines, if possible. My experience is that a lot is sold only by the kilo - not the bag - so knowing that difference would be helpful.<br><br>While at it, knowing the price of any other energy carrier would be helpful (electricity,.petrol, propane, candles, etc). If sold by bags or bundles, we need the weight of those units (approximate if all that is available).<br><br>While at it, I'd like to know whether production and sale of charcoal is illegal in these countries. Also if price trends are known, that would be helpful.<br><br>Ron<br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "rogerio carneiro de miranda" <carneirodemiranda@gmail.com><br>To: "Discussion of biomass cooking stoves" <stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org><br>Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 4:35:15 PM<br>Subject: Re: [Stoves] Charcoal prince in Monrovia, Liberia<br><br>Crispin, is this resale price?<br><br>Seems not bad.
