Fuel wood, in logs, in billets, in twigs, in faggots or in similar forms

cpc code 0313 covers the production and trade of fuel wood, a crucial energy source in many parts of the world. Fuel wood, in the form of logs, billets, twigs, faggots, and other similar forms, plays a vital role in meeting the energy needs of households, industries, and communities, particularly in developing regions. This industry is an important component of the broader forestry and wood products sector, contributing to economic activity, employment, and sustainable resource management.

The production of fuel wood typically involves the harvesting of trees, either from managed forests or other wooded areas. The harvested wood is then processed into the various forms covered by cpc code 0313, such as logs, billets, twigs, and faggots. This may involve techniques like cutting, splitting, and bundling the wood. The specific methods used can vary depending on the local resources, equipment available, and the intended end-use of the fuel wood.

The main inputs required for the fuel wood industry include the raw material of standing trees or other woody biomass. Depending on the scale and mechanization of the operations, additional inputs may include chainsaws, splitters, bundling equipment, and transportation vehicles. Labor, both skilled and unskilled, is also a crucial input for the harvesting, processing, and distribution of fuel wood.

The primary output of the fuel wood industry covered by cpc code 0313 is, of course, the various forms of fuel wood, such as logs, billets, twigs, and faggots. These outputs are typically consumed by 0721 Manufacture of basic chemicals, 1920 Manufacture of refined petroleum products, and 3530 Steam and air conditioning supply industries, as well as by households for domestic heating and cooking purposes.
