JOINT UNDP / WORLD BANK
ENERGY SECTOR MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (ESMAP)
PURPOSE
The Joint UNDP/Worid Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) was
launched in 1983 to complement the Energy Assessment Programme, established three years earlier.
ESMAP”s original purpose was to implement key recommendations of the Energy Assessment reports
and ensure that proposed investments in the energy sector represented the most efficient use of scarce
domestic and external resources. In 1990, an international Commission addressed ESMAP's role for
the 1990s and, noting the vital role of adequate and affordable energy in economic growth, concluded
that the Programme should intensify its efforts to assist developing countries to manage their envrgy
sectors more effectively. The Commission also recommended that ESMAP concentrate on making
long-term efforts in a smaller number of “ountries. The Commission’s report was endorsed at
ESMAP’s November 1990 Annual Meeting and prompted an extensive reorganization and reorientation
of the Programme. Today, ESMAP is conducting Energy Assessments, performing preinvestment and
prefeasibility work, and providing institutional and policy advice in selected developing countries.
Through these efforts, ESMAP aims to assist governments, donors, and potential investors in
identifying, funding, and implementing economically and environmentally sound energy strategies.
GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS
ESMAP is governed by a Consultative Group (ESMAP CG), composed of representatives of the UNDP
and World Bank, the govemmments and institutions providing financial support, and representatives of
the recipients of ESMAP’s assistance. The ESMAP CG is chaired by the World Bank’s Vice President,
Operations and Sector Policy, and advised by a Technical Advisory Group (TAG; of independent
energy experts that reviews the Programme”s strategic agenda, its work program, and other issues. The
Manager of ESMAP, who reports to the World Bank’s Vice President, Operations and Sector Policy,
administers the Programme. The Manager is assisted by a Secretariat, headed by an Executive
Secretary, which supports the ESMAP CG and the TAG and is responsible for relations with the donors
and for securing funding for the Programmes activities. The Manager directs ESMAP"s two Divisions:
The Strategy and Programs Division advises on selection of countries for assistance, carries out Energy
Assessments, prepares relevant programs of technical assistance, and supports the Secretariat on funding
issues. The Operations Division is responsible for formulation of subsectoral strategies, preinvestment
work, institutional studies, technical assistance, and training within the framework of ESMAP”s country
assistance programs.
FUNDING
ESMAP is a cooperative effort supported by the World Bank, UNDP and other United Nations
agencies, the European Community, Organization of American States (OAS), Latin American Energy
Organization (OLADE), and countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany,
Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal,
Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

FOREWORD
This study was completed as an activity of the Joint Worid Bank/UNDP/Bilateral
Aid Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). Financing for the study was
provided mainly by the Norwegian Government, as well 2s by UNDP, the French Government and
the Jai inese Fund. The study was implemented with the assistance of and in close coordination
- with ‘he BME/UNDP/OLADE Energy Sector Strengthening Project (HAÏ/89/031) and with the
teams involved in the preparation of the IDA financed Forest and Environmental Protection
Project.
ESMAP and its consultants worked with their main counterpart, the Bureau of
Mines and Energy (BME) as well as will the Forest Resources Service (FRS), the Bureau for
Petroleum Product Supply (BAPP) and the main Haitian organizations operating in the sector.
The study coordinator in the BME was Loctamard Antilus, Director of Energy
Resources. Nicole Dieudonné, Guilen Aurelien and Naquin Medina also participated in the study.
Violette Derosiers was responsible for survey data entry (carried out at the BME), with assistance
from Marie Mercie Dieujuste and Eunide Germain.
The main authors of the following report are Philippe Durand (Task Manager,
. ESMAP) and Michel Matly (Energy Economist, coordinator of the consultant team). The study
team included Jocelyne Durany-Jakob and Carole Roy (Consultants, Sociologists), Joséphine
Arpaillange (Energy Statistician, ESMAP), Christian Bonaparte (Consultant, Marketing Specialist),
Calixte Clérismé (Consultant, Sociologist) and Kevin Fitzgerald (Energy Statistician, ESMAP), as
well as about thirty presenters and pollsters.
This study is based on a major data collection effort comprising both quantitative
and qualitative information collected from December 1989 to May 1990. During this time, the
following main surveys and in-field inquiries were carried out: household survey, market polls and
.… surveys of small businesses in Port-au-Prince; surveys of charcoal retailers and transporters in Port-
au-Prince and in the main cities, surveys of rural merchants and charcoal producers in the main
areas which supply charcoal to Port-au-Prince; counting ‘he number of charcoal entries at Port-
au-Prince (see Annex XIII).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Environmental Degradation
1. Haitis environment is undergoing a gradual process of severe degradation, which
has immediately perceptible and sometimes irreversible effects, especially with regard to loss of soils
and decreasing agricultural yields. Even though this environmental problem has arisen partially due
. to multiple non-energy factors (demographic pressures, agricultural techniques, irregular land tenure
practices), the fact remains that woodfuel consumption, especially urban charcoal consumption, is
a major contributor to deforestation. This is not a newly noted phenomenon: experts have cited
it for more than a decade. However during that time, no coherent, comprehensive program has
been proposed or undertaken by the Haitian Government with assistance from international
development agencies.
2. It is significant that in Haiti — frequently cited as one of the countries in the worid
where environmental destruction has reached an alarming phase -- there is no recent inventory of
forest or biomass resources, nor any serious analysis quantifying the extent of deforestation.
Without fundamental data needed to accurately evaluate the current state of the biomass stock and
its annual growth, alarmist accounts of the approaching demise of the last Haitian tree persist.
Independently of the uncertainties surrounding wood-energy supply potential, deforestation in Haiti
is an incontestable reality; it is therefore important to reduce the pressure on forest resources
generated by woodfuel consumption, especially charcoal consumed in Port-au-Prince.
3. The only national-scale projects related to this problem have been carried out by the
private sector. ‘They comprise mainly the agro-forestry tree planting projects run by non-
governmental organizations operating throughout the country. Although these plantations are
expensive and their overall success has been relative, several million new trees grow in Haiti each
- year as a result of these efforts. An additional advantageous outcome is that tree planting has
become iugrained into traditional peasant practices. However, tree planting efforts represent only
partial solutions to Haitis deforestation problem. Based on the latest analyses of deforestation, at
least 23 million surviving trees would need to be planted each year, ie. nearly 10 times the current
rate, in order to reverse the destruction of national forest resources, |
4. Public management of forest resources, already relatively ineffective, has continued
to worsen. In 1986, a new stage was reached: monitoring of forest exploitation disappeared almost
totally. Since then, charcoal exploitation has spread throughout the country, starting from areas
where large-scale production was already the norm, so that now almost all regions of Haiti market
Charcoal for the capital. In some parts of the country, particularly along the uorthwest peninsula,
[page 11]
“il
charcoal production plays a major role in the rural ecosiomy and has become an important source
of income for numerous peasants.
5. The large scale plantations approach has been abandoned because of the lack of
financial profitability which in turn prompted landholders away from this option. Also, investments
for reforestation and forestry research under the National Forestry Project have produced only
minor results relative to the deforestation problem. The project achieved somewhat limited
progress with increasing the effectiveness of forestry control; but the Forestry Service still monitors
only 10% of the charcoal trade.
6. Several projects have addressed the problem of charcoal conservation (BME, NGOs).
Results were negligible duc to the small size of the projects, lack of resources and dispersed efforts.
Although studies show that the charcoal cookstoves currently in use are highly inefficient, there
have been no commercial-scale promotion of improved models.
7. The initiative for developing charcoal substitutes has been taken by the pri‘ate
sector, which introduced portable butane gas stoves (Bip Ticheri) and engaged in large-scale
‘ publicity campaigns to promote this fuel. The Government assisted private sector efforts by
decontrolling gas prices and appiying favorable foreign exchange conditions to fuel imports in 1987,
with extension of the same conditions to the import of Bip cookstoves in 1989.
Costs of Household Fuels
8. Extensive use of charcoal in Haitis cities is, to a very large extent, an indirect
consequence of the high gas prices which result from current supply and distribution arrangements.
In fact, the Haitian gas market is a de facto monopoly, characterized by small and often outdated
installations and gas prices among the highest in the Caribbean, if not the world. It is a captive
market for the petroleum company which holds a monopoly over the entire supply of gas -- from
gas purchases on the international market to retail distribution.
9. Under the current situation -- no other supply alternatives, decontrolled gas prices,
no taxes or tarifs -- the official gas policy is prejudicial against the State itself, depriving it of much
needed resources. This policy costs the economy about $2.5 million annually, has no direct benefits
to the consumer and only marginelly provides incentives for the use of gs as a charcoal-substitute.
Under a more norcnal price structure, the gas could be lightly taxed, and the supplier margins
would be reduced so that the final price is much less costly for the consumer.
10. Analyses show that under normal conditions cf supply, gas becomes the best financial
option for the consumer and the best economic option for the country. Market studies underscore
that gas is also the fuel which is most likely to successfully substitute for charcoal in urban Haitian
[page 12]

households: the market poten‘al is for conversion of 25% io 50% of households in the capital
depending on which pricing assumptions are retained, as compared to a potential market share of
less than 10% for its direct competitors, kerosene and electricity. The upper estimate, 50%, is
substantially higher than the current rate of market penetration: only 15% of Port-au-Prince
households use gas as the only or primary fuel. However, this is far below the estimated 70%
ütilization rate by households in the capital of the Dominican Republic, though the fuel is heavily
subsidized (and the price of charcoal is two times higher than in Haïti).
ii. The household energy sector is in complete economic disequilibrium and thus rapid
intervention is needed. Peasant charcoal producers subsidize urban consumers since wood is
acquired at a price far below its replacement cost - prices which reflect a “mining” mentality in the
exploitation of forestry resources - thereby contributing to degradation of the environment and the
rural economy. International organizations subsidize reforestation activities and even part of the
operating costs for the forestry services, while elsewhere ineffective collection of charcoal-related
taxes represents a recoverable loss of nearly $1 million annually. The public authorities subsidize
the gas sector to a considerable extent through its favorable import policies; unfortunately, no
benefits accrue to either the consumer or the State, even though the State itself is sorely in need
of more sources of operating revenues.
Action Prioriti
12. The primary objective of any intervention in these areas is to gradually restore the
financial and economic equilibriums in the sector through: lowering significantly the price of gas;
aliowing charcoal prices to increase substantially; introducing mechanisms for the State to generate
revenues from the marketing of both fuels, sufficient for financing operations and partial
investments by the public entities responsible for managing the sector.
13. Intervention also will be centered only on several main themes which represent
important stakes for the country and which are likely to have significant impacts. These themes
will be addressed in a manner s0 that the scale of intervention will have national impacts.
14. Intervention requires the State to affirm its political willingness to act at the highest
‘levels, and to make a more accurate accounting of its strengths and weaknesses, by seeking
intervention of existing non-governmental and private entities, and by negotiating when necessary
with the local populations.
"15 Finally, intervention in the household energy sector must be designed as a
contribution to solve the problem of environment degradation. A household energy strategy would _:
therefore not hinder but rather complement and reinforce the country's global strategy for natural
resource management.
[page 13]
V-
Strategy Components
16. The proposed strategy contains measures designed.to effectively redress quickly the
current dramatic situation in the sector by intervening on four levels -- the four components of the
recommended strategy:
a. opening the gas market,
b. generating charcoal savings,
& modernizing the charcoal sector,
d. sector monitoring and evaluation.
17. The first component of the strategy, opening the gas market, will create conditions
for real competition in the gas sector, thus producing downward pressure on the gas prices to the
benefit of consumers. It also will facilitate access to gas as a primary fuel and to gas appliances by
the less privileged classes (middle classes and upper levels of the poorer households), This will
be accomplished by either installing new receiving, storage and filling infrastructure or by enlarging
existing infrastructure, with possibly temporary recourse to gas imports supplied from the
Dominican Republic. The various possibilities of partnerships between private or institutional
operators, both local and foreign, should be studied, as well as the legal, regulatory and fiscal
aspects of the prerequisites and consequences of partnership choices.
18. The second component of the strategy is the large-scale distribution of improved
charcoal stoves in Port-au-Prince and in the four major secondary cities in Haiti. In fact, even
under the most favorable assumptions of substitution by other fuels, the proportion of households
which will continue to use charcoal will remain significant: about one in every two, on average in
the major cities. The distribution will target household users of round stoves and "potaje*
cookstoves, as weli as small roadside food vendors (“manje kwit”). A total distribution of 80,000
stoves is anticipated at the end of three years. ‘
19. The third component targets the reorganization and rationalization of charcoal
. exploitation. Charcoal exploitation will be redistributed geographically through the use of regional
production quotas, which will ensure that charcoal production is carried out in areas where the risks
to the environment are acceptable. The component will help the Haitian Government to more
effectively control the flows of charcoal, especially for marketing in the capital, and to collect taxes
associated with charcoal transport. The component is based on definition and implementation of
a Supply Mastér Plan for Port-au-Prince, strengthening and improvement of controls on charcoal
transport and of the tax collection system, contribution to defining a priority rural development
program to compensate local populations for losses generated by application of charcoal quotas, and
[page 14]
.vi-
implementation of an assistance program for charcoal producers in zones where charcoal
exploitation will continue.
20. The fourth component includes creation of a Steering Unit for the strategy. The
Steering Unit will assure permanent supervision and coordination of the household energy sector
and will assure cooperation between the various sector participants, as well as coordination and
evaluation of activities carried out as part of the strategy. In order to promote coherence in the
sector, the Steering Unit will also oversee adjustments to pricing and fiscal policy and legislation
concerning the different fuels. At the fiscal level, the strategy includes improved collection rates
for charcoal prices and a new tax on the price of gas once the gas price structure has been revised
so that gas can be distributed throughout Haiti at lower prices (para. 16).
Strategy Results
21. The main outcomes of the Strategy will be to stabilize charcoal consumption in Haïti
and to gradually transform as much charcoal production as possible into a sustainable, financially
profitable and environmentally benign economic activity. Specific outcomes for the strategy once
the four components have been implemented are the following:
a. gradually increase in the proportion of urban consumers using gas as the primary
fuel, with a target percentage of 35% of Port-au-Prince households in 1996 and 50%
in 2001 (10% and 20% respectively in other cities); |
b. development of gas consumption from 7,000 tons at present to 23,000 tons in 1996
and 41,000 tons in 2001;
c. use of improved stoves by one of every two charcoal consumers in Port-au-Prince
by the year 2001;
d. gradual drop in charcoal consumption (and thus decreased pressure on national
forest resources) by 43% of projected 2001 consumption, through substitution by gas
e. improvement of conditions for charcoal production and rationalization of the access
to forest resources in the main charcoal exploitation districts (Supply Master Plan
for Port-au-Prince), including improved tax policy and better enforcement of
regulations concerning charcoal commerce (tax collection rates for charcoal transport
to go from 10% in 1990 to 60% in 1996};
£ vocational training and assistance for developing professionalism among 500 small.
scale charcoal makers.
[page 15]
.vi-
22. The impacts of this strategy on the national economy are the following:
a. relative increase in petroleum product imports of 12% by 2001, all other things being
equal. This is equivalent, in terms of the current level of external trade, to 4% of
the countries total exports.
b. income generated by charcoal exploitation in the main production zones to remain
constant (or , under normal conditions, to increase due to efforts to increase the real
producer price).
Costs and Financing |
3. Implementation costs for the strategy total US$ 10.5 million over the 1992-1994
period: US$ 0.8 million for the stove distribution program, (which is included in IDA’s Forestry
and Environmental Protection Project) US$1.4 million for modernizing the charcoal sector, US$
7,8 million for petroleum investments (n° stly private), and US$ 0.8 million for monitoring and
evaluation. Total recurrent costs are estimated at US$900,000 over the period 1995-2001. The
simplified economic and financial analysis gives a financial IRR of 10% and an economic IRR of
40% for the period 1992-2001.
24. Considering the urgency of implementing the Strategy's components, obtaining the
: necessary funding should be among the Government’s priorities. Several bilateral donors
traditionally active in the energy and forestry sectors could be approached, such as France, Canada,
USAID and Germany. Other resources might also be tapped, such as the Haïti Economic and
Social Fund in the recently-created Global Environment Facility.

L OVERVIEW
General Socio-Econcmic Overview
Deterioration of the Economy
11 By far the poorest country on the Latin American continent, Haïti has been inthe
midst of a sustained economic and social crisis for over a decade. This crisis is manifested by a
continuous decline in per capita GDP averaging 1 to 2% per annum since 1985 and estimated at
nearly 4% in 1989. The drop in GDP has had repercussions in all economic sectors, The decreased
demand for imports, associated with the economic slowdown and the resulting reduction in the
populations purchasing power, has been totally offset by declining exports, decreasing of foreign
aid and the loss of tourism revenues. Thus the trade deficit, which was about 40% in 1989, remains
substantial. In the formal commercial sector, the level of salaried employment has continued to
drop: according to the National Bank of Haïti (Banque de la République d'Haïti - BRH), the
number of employees in the formal sector declined by 10% between 1986 and 1989. The effects
of the crisis have not spared the informal sector: during the last three years, about 20% of the 3300
mini and small businesses located in the capital have been forced to shut down.
12 Inflation was relatively moderate until recently but now is on the rise; officially
estimated at 7%, actual inflation figures were in the range of 15 to 20% in 1989. The prices of
most basic products have increased substantially: food products such as oil, meat, eggs and sugar
rose by 30 to 80% between February 1989 and February 1990, Construction materials also
increased by 25% during the same period (30% for timber alone). By contrast, the minimum
salary in Haïti (H$ 100/month) has not changed since 1984. A progressive weakening of Haïtÿs
currency is linked with this inflation. At the beginning of 1990, there was a 40% differential
between the nominal rate of exchange (S Gourdes per $1) and the actual rate offered on the
parallel market. There results a continued erosion of purchasing power in urban households,
particularly among the middle classes, whether it be for purchases of imported supplies and
products (automobile purchases, for example, have dropped from nearly 6000 in 1985 to 2500 in
1989) or more simply for purchases of local products.
_ Activity Slowdown in Rural Areas
13 Agricultural activity has been on the decline for several years, as evidenced by a
decrease in its value added ir 1989; in constant terms, value added already had fallen by 10% from
1986 to 1989. Agricultural activity decline is particularly noticeable at the level of crop exports
for products such as cocoa (production was halved between 1985 and 1988) or sugar cane
(production went from 2 million tons in 1985 to 350,000 tons in 1989). Inflation coupled with a
decline in international market prices act as disincentives to rural producers: the tendency now is
[page 17]
.2-
to move away from export-oriented cash crops and raise food crops instead. The eradication of
pigs also has deprived the peasants of one of their rare sources of monetary income. Marketed
production and monetary income in rural areas thus have been reduced considerably, producing
inflationary repercussions on the prices of products flowing onto the national market.
Demographic Pressures
14 With an estimated population of 5.8 million in 1990, Haïti has a population density
of 215 inhabitants per km’, one of the highest in the hemisphere. This creates a growing pressure
on the environment due to demand for new agricultural land. Even so, the annual growth rate for
the rufal population is estimated at only 0.7% for the period 1982-2000, while the growth rate for
the urban population would reach nearly 5% during the same period; the capital, Port-au-Prince,
represents nearly 20% of the total population. This urban population, most of whom consume
charcoal, thus constitutes a rapidly growing threat to the environment.
The Energy Sector
National Energy Demand
15 Per capita consumption of commercial energy in Haïti is among the lowest in the
world and certainly the lowest on the Latin American continent, Estimated at 18 barrels of oil
equivalent (b.0.e.), annual per capita consumption is only half that of the Dominican Republic, one
third that of Jamaica or Barbados, and one quarter that of Cuba. These comparisons are even
more striking for electricity consumption, which measures about 51 kWh per capita annually in
| Haïti, versus 430 kWh in the Dominican Republic, 510 kWh in Jamaica, and 1410 kWh in Cuba.
Only a fraction of Haïtis population has access to commercial energy; kerosene, used for lighting,
is the only fuel in widespread usage. Gas 1/ and electricity are used by a very small segment of the
population, almost exclusively in urban areas (the national electrification rate is less than 15%).
16 The most recent energy consumption data (for the year 1985) are summarized in
Table 1.1. Residential energy consumption represents more than half the total energy demand,
followed by the commercial sector (21% of national demand), industry and transport. The table
emphasizes the preponderance of the woodfuels sector in national energy supply: fuelwood, which
by itself represents 70% of the national supply, charcoal and sugar cane bagasse, Haïti currently
is more than 80% self-sufficient in energy due to residential use of wood in rural areas and of
charcoal in urban area. Still it also should be noted that fuelwood, bagasse and, to a lesser extent,
charcoal, are used largely by the industrial sector; thus these fuels cumulatively represent 63% of
energy consumption by industry.

17 * _ ‘Several surveys and evaluations by the BME and within the framework of this study
show the breakdown of charcoal and fuelwood consumption by category of consumer. This
breakdown is presented in Table 1.2, which shows both the levels of woodfuel consumption and
their equivalent in terms of wood cutting. One will note:
(a) the importance of charcoal, which is only consumed by less than 30% of the
population, but represents 40% of the demand for wood,
(b) the importance of non-residential charcoal consumption, estimated to represent
. 20% of the total charcoal consumption,
(c) the importance of Port-au-Prince for charcoal consumption; with two-thirds of the
national consumption.

18 Despite the dominance of woodfuel in the national energy balance, petroleum
imports represent a considerable weight on the Haitian economy. Petroleum imports amounted
to nearly 50% of total exports in 1982, when oil prices peaked, After falling sharply to just 20%
in 1987, the ratio between oil imports and total exports has begun to increase once again, due party
to the continued erosion of exports of goods and services and partly to the sustuined demand for
energy (Annex X). |
19 Thus in 1989, the energy bill absorbed more than 30% of the country’s export
revenues, Kerosene and LPG represent 10% in volume ane about 20% in value of all petroleum
product imports to the country. Although gas consumption is very limited (about 10,000 tons in
1989), the value of gas imports alone is equivalent to 4% of the total value of Haïtis exports.

‘
1.10 One of the reasons for low consumption of commercial energy is without doubt that
Haïti is one of the Central American and Caribbean countries where petroleum products and
electricity are most expensive. A comparison of prices in Haïti and the Dominican Republic
demonstrates this: even taking into account the overvaluation of Haitian currency ( a 40% margin
| estimated between the official market rate and the parallel rate relative to the dollar), the price
of kerosene and diesel are about two times higher in Haïti, that of electricity three times, and LPG
prices nearly five times higher than in the Dominican Republic (see Annex IT), where LPG is
heavily subsidized,
111 Conditions for marketing and distribution are such that major differentials also exist
between the economic costs of the various fuels in Haïti and in other Central American and
Caribbean countries. This is particularly true for LPG, a fuel which is not under government price
control.
Residential Consumption
1.12 The categorization of Port-au-Prince households by fuel (primary and secondary) is
summarized in Table 13. Charcoal is the most utilized fuel, consumed by 90% of the capital's
households. The most affluent classes are abandoning the use of charcoal (only about 2/5 of the
20% most affluent households use charcoal as their primary fuel). Those who consume charcoal
only (62% of the population) use about 0.44 kg per capita daily. Taking into account secondary
uses of charcoal, daily per capita consumption in the capital for all households combined is
‘estimated between 0.36 kg (based on weighings carried out in 22 households) and 0.42 kg (based
on a survey of 400 households). This results in a total residential consumption for Port-au-Prince
approaching 160,000 tons in 1990 (based on the results of the household survey).

113 Among the other fuels, gas is of special note, as nearly 27% of households currently
are equipped with gas stoves or gas cookers, and more than half of these (15% of total) use gas as
the primary fuel (see Table 14). In fact, use of gas is well established mainly in high-income
households (half use it as the primary fuel) and middle-income households (those with incomes of
more than $250/month). Use of gas among households with more modest incomes still is relatively
limited: however, the arrival of "popular gas” with the dissemination of Bip single-flame butane has
generate an initial penetration of this market. More than 50% of portable gas cookstoves are sold
to households with incomes of less than $250/month (the last three quintiles of the population).
114 Other fuels are used only by small segments of the population: wood used in poor
households (2.1% in open fires and 4.1% in portable cookstoves); kerosene, which one finds in use
among the fringes of middle- to high-income population (0.8% primary usage and 53% in
stoves/cookers); and electricity (0.8% primary usage and 5.3% in stoves/cookers) used uniquely in
affluent households.

115 Household energy consumption in the secondary cities of Haïti (the main ones beiag
Cap Haitien, Les Cayes, Gonaïves and St Marc) apparently is comparable s0 that in the capital,
with charcoal predominating. The proportion of households using gas and kerosene for cocking
is much lower, however, and residential consumption of fuelwood is still widespread, especially in
certain port neighborhoods situated along city outskirts.

Charcoal Cookstoves
. 116 There are various metallic traditional cookstoves available (see Table 14); the
dominant types are the following:
(a) the round stove (or its square version), which sells for prices varying from $1.5 to
$2, is used by two-thirds of the households,
(b) the "potajé" stove, consisting of two or three burners supported by a metallic or
cement block frame, is used by nearly 30% of the households, generally the most
affluent. The metallic model of this “top of the line” stove costs from $15 to $20,
and the “block” model sells for about $3 to $S per burner.
[page 23]
-8-
117 The lifespan of these stoves is approximatelÿy one year. The round single-burner
stoves (as well as their square version) are produced by ‘réchauliers" (craftsmen who specialize in
making portable cookstoves), and the potajé stoves by iron or metal masons. An estimated 200
réchauliers can be found in the capital.
Consumption by Small Industry
118 With regard to wood and charcoal consumption by the urban productive sector, a
distinction must be made between two main categories:
(a) productive activities in the informal sector, which often consume charcoal,
(b) bakeries and dry-cleaners, which use mostly firewood.
1.19 Among the activities of the informal sector, small roadside restaurants and hot food
vendors represent the bulk of charcoal consumption: a study carried out in 1989 by the Center for
the Promotion of Female Workers estimates that there are nearly 80,000 sale points of food
products in Port-au-Prince, of which 20,000 consist of small “manjé kwit" restaurants (one for eight
households). Even if these figures are overestimated, they show the informal sector’s importance
in the capital. The household survey estimates that charcoal consumption linked to home-based
productive activities of this sort accounts for 20% of total residential consumption: thus in Port-
au-Prince, about 40,000 tons of charcoal are consumed by these activities annually, bringing the total
consumption of charcoal in the capital to 200,000 tons/year.
120 The BME's 1987 census identifies 836 bakeries (146 in Port-au-Prince) and 113 dry-
cleaners (94 in Port-au-Prince). Some of these companies have switched from kerosene to gas
(approximately 30 bakeries and 13 dry-cleaners): hence 95% of the bakeries and 90% of the dry-
cleaners in Haïti consume firewood exclusively. Total consumption, respectively, is estimated as
-_ 24,000 and 10,000 tons of wood. .
Residential C ‘
121 Various activities have been undertaken to assess rural fuel consumption, generally
within the framework of reforestation projects. They show that firewood is almost exclusively the
only fuel used in rural areas for cooking food and related activities. Vzrious estimates of the
quantities consumed give figures converging around 500 kg/year of firewood per capita. In most
cases, this wood is gathered free of charge by the peasants on their land; in certain regions,
however, especially in large agricultural zones where sugar cane or ‘vetiver" are cultivated, rural
marketing of firewood is beginning to appear, sometimes even for residential uses. The use of
[page 24]
-9-
charcoal is relatively limited and concentrated in a few areas with large charcoal production
tiviti
Consumption by Small Industry
12 In 1985 there were 473 "guildives" and “moulins-guildives" (small companies
producing sugar and drinking alcohol), mainly in the southwest peninsula of the country. Some of
the moulin-guildives use bagasse from sugar cane and more modern guildives use diesel, but most
of these small industries use large wood. This is also the case with 31 essential oil factories; a few
more than half use firewood for their oil extraction process. It is estimated that in total, the annual
wood consumption of these small enterprises is 130,000 tons and 30,000 tons, respectively.
Woodfuel Resources
Forest Resources
13 . The extent of Haitïs forest resources is not well-known; the last estimation was
based on aerial photographs taken in 1978, and comprised only natural forest formations. À World
Bank environmental study (BDPA) undertook an evaluation of forest resources based on the 1982
land use map which was established using the aerial views from 1978 (see Table 1.5). As this map
-was not created specifically for forestry needs, the estimates which are drawn from it -- the most
complete and most precise of all existing estimates -- remain at best approximate, even according
to the authors of the map. Still, it is possible to note the importance of fallow land and tree crops
as standing inventory for biomass, and probably the principal source of wood in Haïti

. Charcoal Supply Networks
124 Charcoal is distributed through an extremely decentralized urban retail and wholesale
network. In the greater Port-au-Prince region (Port-au-Prince, Delmas, Carrefour, and Pétionville),
there are an estimated 3000 sales points, as presented in Table 16. There are nearly 200 large
warehouses with capacity for more than 50 bags and, at the other end of the scale, nearly 1500
mostly female, small retailers (the marketing of charcoal, both at the wholesale and retail levels,
is carried out mostly by women). Much of the charcoal is sold in the markets, including the wharfs,
which comprise nearly 3/4 of the market for sales in bags.

125 Approximately 37% offthe charcoal consumed in the capital is transported by boat
from the ports of the two peninsulas und from Gonaïve island; the remaining 63% is delivered by
‘ truck or other various modes of road transport. The practice of “charbon-provision" which refers
to charcoal transported in passenger vehicles to escape regulation by public officials -- a practice
tolerated by the Forestry Service up to a limit of 10 bags -- is widespread. About 15% of the
charcoal supply enters the city by this means. Charcoal generally is delivered by rural merchants
(usually female, referred to as "madame Saras”) who hire transport to come and sell charcoal in the
city (see Figure 1.1).
126 Charcoal production, entirely done with traditional methods, has been the object of |
only some limited investigations. The charcoal producers use small capacity stacks (5 to 10 bags)
of various forms (*parasol", circular, or rectangular "bateau" kilns). The observed yield by weight
are quite high (20%) in areas with larger-scale production, but it seems that yields are lower in
areas where carbonization activity recently has been established. As there is very little quantitative
data, a campaign to take measurements from a representative sample of kilns is very much needed,

127 4 comparison of two maps, one created in 1980 (Atlas CNRS 1985), the other in
1990 based on information obtained from various surveÿs conducted during this study, shows how
charcoal production has become widespread throughout Haïti The extension of charcoal
production dates priraarily from 1986, when public control over forest exploitation in Haïti
disappeared for all practical purposes. .
128 The origin zones of charcoal delivered to Port-au-Prince in 1980 and in 1990 are
shown in Table 1.7; the results of a revised count of the volumes of .: arcoal entries in Port-au-
Prince are also given in Annex IV. A progressive diversification of supply to the capital can be
seen; to the traditional production zones in the northwest and the south have been added new
zones, notably the Grande Anse (southwest peninsula) and the Central Plateau. There are no
longer hardly any zones in the country, with the exception perhaps of the far northeast, where
charcoal is not produced for Port-au-Prince (see maps for 1980 and 1990 in Annex XIV).

Supply Mi reins and Revenues
1.29 The cost to the residential buyer of charcoal in Port-au-Prince, when sold by the bag,
is about 1 Gourde/kg: each bag costs 40 Gourdes and weighs on average 38 kilograms. When sold
in small quantities ("lots") with unit value varying between 0.5 and 1.5 Gourdes, charcoal costs on
average 25% more (1.25 Gourdes/kg). In pots or baskets, the cost of better quality charcoal
("gayak” wood) can even reach 2 Gourdes/kg (see Annex X). In the other cities, charcoal is a
little less expensive: sold by the bag, it costs about 0.7 Gourde/kg in main cities such as Les Cayes
or Cap Haïtien, 0.5 Gourdes in smaller towns such as Gros Morne or Camp Perrin (southwest
[page 29]
14.
130 The charcoal producer’s share of the retail price has decreased unremittingly; this
is related to the general stagnation of income in Haïtÿs rural areas. However, a "professional"
producer places a value of 1.5 Gourde/hour on his work, which is comparable to the income of a
peasant (8 to 9 Gourdes/day) and around 30% higher than the rate of a day laborer (6 Gourdes
for a 5 to 6 hour day, see Annex 10).
131 Although some wholesalers and transporters have rather large sales figures from
marketing charcoal, basically because of the large volumes concerned (a truck making 100 trips
annually can generate a net annual income of $10,000 to $15,000), the margins for transporters,
wholesalers and retailers conform to the standards generally found in networks for wood and
charcoal.
132 On the basis of information collected during various surveys, the transport price for
charcoal is about 0.1 Gourde/day/kilometer (regression analysis performed on a dozen loads
delivered by road, and about 50 statements made by transporters). Taking into account the
‘transport costs in Haïti, which fluctuate between $1.1 and $2 per km for a larger trucks according
to the state -- paved or unpaved — and topography of the roadway (see Annex X), the transporter
earns a net margin of approximately 30% to 40%. The urban intermediaries (wholesalers and
retailers) earn a gross cumulative margin of 25% of the retail price (see Table 1.8).

Wood Supply Network
133 Because transport costs are high relative to the sales price of fuelwood, the supply
networks for this fuel are considerably shorter than those for charcoal. Thus, a large part of the
supply for bakeries in Port-au-Prince comes from nearby “mornes" (small isolated hills) and from
[page 30]
-15-
areas close to the Central Plateau; in Gonaïves, wood is supplied from the mangroves. Firewood
trucks headed for the capital usually follow routes which allow them to avoid official controls. The
guidives and essential oil factories usually are supplied with wood from fruit trees (mangoes,
avocadoes), as these trees often are judged useless or too numerous by the peasants since the
eradication of pigs.
Petroleum Product Supply |
134 Liquid petroleum products are imported by SITCO (Shell International),
Exxon and Texaco Trader from refineries operating in the region. Kerosene normally comes from
Curacao from a former Shell refinery which now is operated by a subsidiary of Pétroleos de
Venezuela. Products are transported by General Purpose tankers with 36,000 to 40,000 ton
capacity, which then continue on towards the Bahamas,
135 Propane gas furnished by SITCO to two distribution companies, Tropigaz and Haïti
Gaz, comes from Punta Cardon (Venezuela), Mexico, or the United States. Gas is transported to
30 cents/gallon, equivalent to about $150/ton (see para. 3.47).
136 With regard to propane storage, Tropigaz has three tanks, one with 30,000 gallon
capacity, bought from Esso in 1953, and two others with 63,000 gallon capacity, installed in 1978.
In addition, Haïti Gaz owns a unit with 30,000 gallon capacity. Thus the total storage capacity is
+ low (400 tons in water, Le. 320 tons of gas), and is only sufficient to guarantee a little less than 15
days of supply, with frequent shortages of 1 or 2 days. Tropigaz also has a bottling plant with three |
filling lines, with à total capacity of 8000 gallons per day (16 tons/day), also quickly approaching
saturation.
137 Butane gas also is supplied by SITCO, mainly from Venezuela, and resold to Sodigaz
by Shell Haïti. In 1988, Shell made investments of $800,000 for distributing Bip stoves and butane.
The investments included:
(a) reception facilities and two storage units with a total actual capacity of 130 tons (150
. nominal) ($600,000)
(b) a filling center with capacity of 900 to 1000 bottles per day (per cycle of 8 hours),
or approximately 3000 bottles daily for three cycles ($100,000).
(c) various preliminary marketing studies, including a study of the target client (see para.
3.53) ($100,000).
[page 31]
.16-
138 Both bottling plants for propane and butane are located in Port-au-Prince, which
absorbs the quasi-totality of butane consumption and most of propane consumption. Propane and
butane bottles are transported to other main cities by trucks and sold by distributors at a price
reflecting additional transport cost (for instance the refilling of a 12 kg propane bottle costs about
40% more in Cap Haïtien than in Port-au-Prince).
1.39 The Shell group plans to restructure its storage and bottling system in the medium
term to face forecast demand of butane and propane at their current prices. It is possible that :
marketing of propane then would be dropped in favor of increased marketing of butane as part of
a Caribbean butane strategy designed by headquarters, which projects the creation of a major
storage center of butane in the area (possibly in Puerto Rico).
Institutional E j
140 Among the major public institutions concerned with the sector, the Bureau of Mines
and Energy (BME), through its Directorate of Energy Resources (DER), is responsible for (1)
promotion of national energy resources and, more generally, of all forms of energy which could
contribute to the country’s development; (ii) rational energy use; and (iii) environmental protection
in relation to mining and quarries. The DER is staffed by nine professionals and had an annual
budget of 1 million Gourdes in 1988. Its activities include management of various energy projects
in cooperation with French assistance and OLADE: energy statistics, development of solar and wind
energy, improved stoves, and use of bagasse. The DER currently is the recipient of a program to
strengthen its operations, financed by PNUD and OLADE (Energy Sector Strengthening Program),
of which this study is a component. One of the main objectives of the program will be to prepare
a National Energy Plan.
141 At the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development
(MARNDR), the Forest Resources Service (FRS) is responsible for protecting, managing and
| developing national forest resources. In particular, it is responsible for implementing the National
Forest Project, which will enter its second phase in 1992 (Forest and Environmental Protection
Project). However, as with many rural development activities in Haïti, most of the reforestation
activities are carried out by numerous non-governmental organizations (NGO), both Haitian and
foreign, because of difficulties encountered at the MARNDR such as: limited operating budget,
lack of coordination, lack of policy continuity and lack of motivation among the employees.

the Haitian petroleum sector is totally private. Three companies share the market: Texaco, Esso
and Shell. The latter is the only company which markets LPG. Within te Ministry of Industry
and Commerce, the Bureau for Petroleum Product Supply (BAPP) supervises the sector and
[page 32]
-17-
regulates the price of liquid fuels; in practice, although BAPP is conscious of the distortions in the
price of gas (as shown in the third chapter), its resources and means to act are limited,
Charcoal Regulation and Taxation
143 A decree dated October 1987 grants MARNDR the ability to authorize and control
the cutting of wood and also gives wood-consuming companies a period of 6 months to substitute
wood by other fuels. In practice, this decree has not been applied. On the contrary, all control
over forest exploitation — and charcoal exploitation in particular - has disappeared since 1986.
This engenders two main negative consequences for the sector: the universalization of charcoal
production throughout the country and the slowdawn of price increases for charcoal.
1.44 There is a tax on the transport of firewood and charcoal, levied at the district level.
In addition, the forestry service has a number of checkpoints, which operate with unequal degrees
of effectiveness (see map no. 2 for Port-au-Prince in Annex XII). Transport permits certifying
payment of thé transport tax and the number of corresponding bags (often underestimated) are
verified by forestry agents at the checkpoints. The official tax on charcoal, originally 0.25 Gourdes,
has risen since October 1989 to 1 Gourde per bag. The forestry service records show that 368,000
and 513,000 bags were checked during the fiscal years (Ociober to September) 1987/88 and
1988/88, respectively. This amounts to respectively 14,000 and 20,000 tons of charcoal, i.e. less than
10% of the charcoal which in fact was marketed in Port-au-Prince.
145 Special effort is being made to improve the monitoring of the volumes transported
and to improve collection of the charcoal tax, with positive results as shown in Table 1.9. Despite
these improvements, there is room for much more progress: an estimated $800,000 additional
revenues in charcoal taxes could be collected by the State if controi was fully efficient. The
firewood tax theoretically is 1 gourde per piece of wood, in general 1 gourde per stere; in practice,
it rarely is collected.

146 Besides the official taxes, there is an entire unofficial system of levies, the revenues
from which do not go to State Treasury. This was true before 1986 in the case of charcoal
exploitation, where the merchant often had to pay local authorities more than 3 times the value of
[page 33]
-18-
the official tax. This is still the case for charcoal transport; the transporter must make a
contribution, either in charcoal or money, at various checkpoints along his route. Thus his real
net margin is diminished, .
Tree Planting Strategies
147 Numerous reforestation projects are underway in Haïti, mainly as part of programs
for non-governmental assistance to rural areas: an environmental study (IDA/BDPA) catalogued
more than 80 projects aimed at limiting deforestation (soil conservation, seedlings, plantations,
etc.) A Tropical Forestry Action Plan (TFAP) will be formulated during 1991/92 under the
supervision of PNUD and FAO in order to coordinate the different projects under a common policy
framework. With regard to plantations, two approaches have been attempted, with very different
results: large plantations and agroforestry.
148 The use of large plantations as a strategy for fighting deforestation was attempted
under mainly the Operation Double Harvest (ODH) financed by CARE, one of four components
in the Agroforestry Outreach Project (AOP) financed by USAID, which has met largely with failure;
as a result, the large plantation option has been completely abandoned at present. The ODH
sought to implement large peri-urban plantations on land belonging to major landholders: this
project was halted in 1987, mainly because of a lack of interest on the part of the landholders.
Moreover, the National Forestry Project (IDA Credit) included an energy plantation pilot
component, which was based on creation of planted perimeters at three sites (covering a total
350 ha) and on management of part of the Pins forest (for an area covering nearly 6,000 ha).
Despite positive results with regard to strengthening the FRS and preparation of the second phase
of the project, the results were relatively disappointing for the pilot plantations, largely because of
the lack of counterpart funds, negative reactions from the rural population, and the influence of
external factors (climate, livestock). Because of the lack of financial profitability of such
plantations, the second phase of this project is therefore oriented towards agro-sylviculture formulas
established at the level of rural communities and management of forestry resources.
149 . The objective of the agroforestry approach is to promote various types of tree
planting integrated into Haïtian cultivation practices. The AOP Project in the northwest of the
country and the "Pyebwa* Project which was implemented by a network of more than 400 NGOs
in the rest of the country, have been quite successful with very small-scale rural forestry projects.
According to the BDPA, approximately 8 million trees have been planted annually as part of these
projects over the past 10 years. There have been several evaluations of the success rate for planting
schemes of this type, with varying results -- the trees’ survival rate is 80% according to CARE, 33%
according to a more rigorous evaluation carried out by the Pyebwa Project, and between 50 and
60% according to other project evaluations. A realistic tree survival rate after one year could be
considered 40%: thus about 3 million planted trees survive each year. By comparing the cost of
the AOP Project (US$ 3 million annuallÿ) and the other main projects engaged in this type of
* planting with the number of surviving trees, the cost per surviving tree in these agroforestry
plantations is estimated at US$ 1.5 (however, some estimates go as high as $10 per surviving tree).
[page 34]

These figures only include the cost of international foreign aid, and the cost of the land and the
labor costs should be added to obtain total cost. |
Improved Stoves
1.50 Several small projects to distribute metal improved charcoal stoves have been
(a) Between 1983 and 1988, the first National Forestry Project included a $90,000
component for distributing improved stoves financed by the Canadian Center for
International Research and Development (CIRD). This project, implemented by
BME, consisted of evaluation of existing traditional cookstoves, development of
adapted improved stoves (BME models) and trial dissemination in two small cities
on the central plateau, Lascahobas and Belladère (30 stoves were distributed),
(b) In 1989, the BME received assistance from OLADE for a new pilot program to
‘distribute nearly 600 portable cookstoves (BME model), with total financing of
$15,000. A preliminary phase included developing a working set for the craftsmen
(tools, templates) and training a dozen craftsmen. Then, in association with two
NGOs and with technical assistance from BIT for training, the BME opened three
workshops in Port-au-Prince and recruited six craftsmen. Accordiug to expected
results of the pilot program, an anticipated 7200 stoves - sufficient to supply about
5% of the households in the capital - will be distributed by mid-1991, under
additional financing of $15,000.
(c) Atthe beginning of 1989, the French Association of Volunteers for Progress (AFVP)
opened two training workshops targeted at the “manjé kwit” market (small
restaurants) and trained ten stoves craftsmen. The trainees began by producing a
commercial line consisting of four model stoves of varying sizes (the BME model
with feet): 500 stoves have been sold since September 1989, but mainly for domestic
use, .
(d) Finally, some larger wood-fueled models were implemented in restaurants in public
institutions, with the technical assistance of the Renewable Energy Development
Institute (REDI).
151 Thus, approximately US$ 120,000 has been invested in improved stoves (not counting
the various missions by experts), and about 600 portable cookstoves actually have been disseminated
outcomes to these trials. The most important of these is the design of a model adapted to the
needs of more modest Haitian households. This model competes with the traditional round stove,
which is used by 2/3 of all households. It has a satisfactory efficiency (30% in theory, and about
25% in actual use — representing a 30% theoretic improvement in efficiency over the traditional
[page 35]
-20- .
stove), and it appears to be well accepted by the consumers (reasonable level of sales by the AFVP,
positive reactions from groups during market testing carried out for the study).
152 Another important outcome, obtained through the activities of BME and AFVP,
| is the result of comparisons of various methods for manufacturing the stoves and organizing their
production and sales. The BME'’s approach was to employ three groups of two artisans and to
manufacture the stoves out of sheets of new galvanized steel, for a net production cost of $7 (in
fact the stoves are marketed for $S to $6 a piece). The AFVP decided to use sheet metal made
from material recovered from drums and junked cars, and to let the artisans operate autonomously
once they were trained, The sales pr'ce of the stoves thus constructed is $4 for the producer, $5
for the retailer. Given experiences with this type of project in other countries, the AFVP approach,
which depends on the autonomous initiative of the craftsmen and an initial market penetration
using low cost products (possible through use of recycled manufacturing materials), seems
preferable, However, if a shortage of recoverable material arises (likely to cause the price of
recovered materials to increase), the use of new sheet metal would be necessary.2/ Besides, a
demand for improved stoves constructed from new sheet metal is likely to exist already because
of their superior durability or for aesthetic reasons.
Substitution |
1.53 Efforts to substitute other fuels for wood and charcoal, namely kerosene and LPG,
concern mainly the domesti: sector. A program also has been undertaken for small businesses and
rural enterprises, although with limited success.
1.54 The domestic use of kerosene for cooking is relatively limited. No promotion
programs have been undertaken, especially by the Government, and thus there is only a limited but
dynamic marketing of the product by the private sector (approximately 1500 stoves sold annually).
One company, Haïti Métal, manufactures and markets the stoves, which are sold for between $20
(one burner, no stand) and $43 (two burners, with a stand). In 1989, this market totaled 1140
units, with more than 90% of the two burner model. Other companies market stoves imported
from Venezuela (Haïti Gaz) and from southeast Asia (Eiectrotostore, with 200 stoves sold in 1989).
155 With regard to the small businesses and industries, the former National Bank for
Agricultural and Industrial Development (NBAID), with assistance from the European Community),
introduced a program to substitute wood with petroleum products. Any company which wanted a
loan had to switch to a fuel other than wood. About twenty bakeries switched to kerosene, and
a few others to propane, under vhis plan.
The current of new sheet metal appears excessive (sales price nearly double the CIF

Lerge metal workshops to directly import sheet metal in order to mass produce and sel
improved stoves does not seem viable, as distribution of the stoves (which is difficult to
organize) certainly would cost more than the resulting savings on material costs.

1.56 Propane gas. Tropigaz imports propane, and distributes it along with another
company, Haïti Gaz, in four sizes of bottles -- 5 kg (a very limited number), 12.5 kg bottles (most
of the market), 25 kg and 50 kg -— and in bulk (1000 kg) for large companies. In 1989, Tropigaz
came under the control of Shell Haïti, when the Caribbean and Latin American operations of
Tropigaz were acquired by Shell.
1.57 In 1986, Tropigaz made an inventory of its bottles, which numbered 66,000 in the
12.5 kg size and 25,000 in the 50 kg size. Taking into account all sales since 1986, equivalent
estimates for 1990 would total 85,000 and a little less than 30,000 respectively. This averages out
to about 2.1 bottles per user (assuming 50,000 propane consumers, of whom just under 80% reside
in the capital).
1.58 Various local firms distribute imported cookers fueled by propane gas. The least
expensive come from Latin America (the "Llama azul" from Venezuela, for example) and vary in
price from $50 to $70. Given the purchase cost for a bottle ($73.4 for a 12.5 kg bottie, without the
pressure regulator), the minimal initial investment is $120 to $150, a very high cost for most urban
‘ households. Only several hundred cookers at the lower end of the scale (cooker without an oven)
are sold annually. Tropigaz also has commercial cookers for institutional restaurants and small food
vendors (between $400 and $500, plus the regulator and the 50 kg bottle, ie. an initial investment
of $550 to $800),
1.59 Butane Gas. In March 1989, Shell began marketing the “Bip Tichéri" stove through
the Sodigaz company. This is a single burner butane cookstove which already is distributed in
various West African countries. The stoves and containers are bought in France at ADG (Camping
Gaz) and the stand is manufactured in Haïti. Shell has received government support through a
‘balance of payments assistance agreement", signed in October 1989, which allows it to import
materials under an exchange rate of 5 Gourdes per dollar. The agreement provides a total
authorization of FF 30 million in 1990 (US$ 5.2 million) for importing bottles and stoves, renewable
in subsequent years. An initial authorization was granted in December 1989 (FF 1,655 million, or
about $280,000) to import 14,000 units, followed by a second authorization of FF 3 million
(US$510,000) in May 1990 to import 25,000 units. 1f the 40% devaluation of the Gourde is taken
into account, the subsidÿ accruing to the Bip program from the Haitian Government amounts to
about US$300,000, equivalent to $8 per stove (see Table 1.10).

1.60 Promotion of butane has been very successful: 32,400 portable stoves, 44,500 botties
and 640 tons of gas (311,000 gallons) were sold in 14 months (between March 1989 and April 1990).
The rhythm of portable stove has slowed down in May 1990 (only 500 stoves sold, as compared to
a previous average of 2000/month) for two main reasons, according to project promoters: the price
increase for the stove from $29.5 to $37.5 in February 1990, and also a certain exhaustion of the
market, which initially was sustained by purchases made by institutions and businesses for their
employees. However, butane penetration started again in 1991 with a 10% increase in the sales of
gas when comparing the first semesters of 1991 and 1990, and a 20% increase when comparing the
first two quarters of 1991. In addition, Shell intends to introduce the 6 kg butane bottle on the
market, which should lead to a further increase in gas sales.
1.61 In the initial start-up phase, the company sold the stove-container combination to
customers for a price $4 below its net cost at wholesale level. This was done to promote the
distribution of the product; the loss was recovered by increasing the margin on the sales of butane
by $0.50 per gallon. This inflated margin (it is difficult to label it a cross subsidy in the absence of
| regulation of gas pricing) was a shrewd marketing decision for the companies: currently, every sale
of a portable stove provides a guaranteed market of about 18 gallons annually, based on an average
of 1.2 recharges per month. This represents a profit of $9/year, more than twice the $4 lost on
each stove sale. Access to a advantageous exchange rate in addition to the increased price of the
Bip portable stove, now selling for $37.5, has allowed the company to balance its sales price. Still,
the price of butane remains at $3 per recharge.

1.62 The Haïtian State sets the price of liquid petroleum products through its Petroleum
Technical Committee, which consists of representatives from the Ministry of Industry and
Commerce (through the BAPP), the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and the BME. The
. margins for kerosene (price at the pump) are negotiated between the State, the petroleum
companies, and the National Association of Petroleum Product Distributors (ANADIP). In April
1990, the margins were set at about 20% for the companies and 5% for the distributors; they
appear reasonable compared ta countries with similar distribution networks. The companies receive
a preferential exchange rate (5 Gourdes/US$1) when importing products, equivalent to a state
subsidy of about 40% of the CIF value of the products. This preferential arrangement was only
applied to LPG in January 1987; LPG is now imported at an exchange rate of 5 to 1.
163 Kerosene had not been taxed for many years in order to promote its use in the
productive sector (bakeries, for example). However, this has given rise to problems related to
competition with diesel fuel (fraudulent distribution and usage of kerosene). In October 1985, new
taxes were applied ta kerosene, totalling nearly 35% of the -retail price, It should be noted,
however, that in order to decrease the price to the consumers located in the provinces and in rural
areas, kerosene is sold duty-free outside Port-au-Prince, in “yellow” gallon containers. The 50
cent/gallon value of detaxation pays in effect for the reusable empty container. About 500,000
gallons are sold in this manner each year, equivalent to a little less than 10% of the national
consumption. ‘
1.64 The prices of gas (propane and butane) are fixed by the two distribution companies,
Shell for butane and Tropigaz (100% Shell owned) for propane, with formal notification given to
the Ministry of Commerce. This de facto monopoly in the gas market leads to c.mulative margins
for the petroleum company which seem to be high in relation with similar markets in other
countries: in April 1990, the cumulative margins were 57% of the retail price of propane and 71%
of the retail price for butane (47% for Shell Haïti and Sodigaz, and 24% for the retailer). The
LPG tax was ended in March 1987. This decontrol and the drop in price, as well as the preferential
exchange rate, accompanied by an intensive campaign launched by distributors, all incited a massive
increase in gas sales (more than 75% since 1987), and in the sales of cooking equipment.

IL MAIN ISSUES
2.1 The main issues affecting the household energy sector in Haiti must be taken into
account when developing a household energy strategy. These are:
(a) the environmental impact of woodfuel utilization on forest resources;
(b) the impact on the balance of payments of encouraging the use of imported fuels as
substitutes;
(c) existing distortions in the gas market;
fd) the essential role of charcoal production in the rural economy;
(e) the weakness of the institutional framework. |
22 The current estimate of forest resources drawn from available data (see para. 1.23)
was established using projected growth rates for forest formations and wood consumption. Several
factors make this approach very imprecise and limit the extent to which the rate of deforestation
can be evaluated:
(a) there are only extremely fragmentary data on the growth of natural forest formations
(the evaluation of yields from the secondary shrub formations used in most charcoal
production is based on unverifiable hypotheses in the current situation) and even
on the growth of planted trees.
(b) the impacts of reforestation using isolated trees or rural micro-plantation is not
quantified;
(c) the exact role of woodfuel consumption in the deforestation process within Haiti has
not been identified clearly and quantitatively. This is particularly the case for self
consumption in rural households: it is difficult to quantify wood consumption in
supply/demand balances when the source of this consumption is felled wood or wood
gathered from the wastes of land clearings or tree pruning.
[page 40]
-25-
(d) the impact of other phenomena such as the subdivision of agricultural plots into
small parcels, the increase in the cultivation of food crops, and the reduction in
cultivation of cash crop is difficult to evaluate and quantify.2/
23 Although in certain cases environmental damage caused by intensive charcoal
exploitation can clearly be demonstrated, charcoal exploitation is only one of the causes, and
probably not the principal one, of deforestation in Haïti Among other causes of deterioration of
Haïts environment are:
(a) _ increased demographic pressure and its corollaries: the subdivision of agricultural
plots, farming on lands not appropriate for agriculture;
(b) poorly adapted and harmful agricultural techniques combined to extensive tree
felling;
(c) insecurity regarding land tenure discourages the use of cultivation practices which
maintain soil fertility, and on the contrary encourages overexploitation of the land
and discourages investments;
(d) the lack of capital and income for the small peasants: they generally must fall back
on subsistence farming of food crops, using very erosive production techniques, and
have recourse ta the production of charcoal as a complementary source of monetary
income.
24 Degradation of the environment has immediately perceptible effects, especially with
regard to erosion, loss of sediments, and decreased agricultural yields. Thus, overexploitation of
the Haitis ligneous potential does not constitute only a decapitalization of available wood: It also
has secondary effects on erosion and alters local hydrology.
25 It is difficult to estimate the rate of deforestation in Haiti given the lack of recent
data and reliable historical comparisons. According to the BDPA study, the estimated forest cover
(degraded ot dense broad leaf forests and pine forests) was only 220,000 hectares in 1988,
amounting to less than 10% of the productive biomass surfaces and less than 30% of the wood
capital, The greater uncertainty surrcunds evaluation of wood resources available from non-forest
sources: shrub formations, tree crops, herbaceous craps, savannas, etc -- ie. 90% of the surfaces
concerned. The sensitivity to error for these projections is rather large (see Annex I): all other
things being equal, if the 1978 figures represent an overestimate of 25%, the forest cover would
Furthermore, thes. phenomena can have apposite effects. For example, the reduction in
2 the number of coffee plantations can deprive some areas of an important wood resource
{pruned cuttings from coffee and shade trees or wood obtained from felling old plantations),
whereas the subdivision of large parcels usually increase the length of tree hedges which
are also an important, and regular source of firewood and timber.
[page 41]
-2%6-
disappear entirely by 1992 (an event which, fortunately, seems unlikely); if on the other hand they
were underestimated by 25%, there are sufficient trees in Haiti to satisfy the firewood and charcoal
needs for the next 20 years without jeopardizing renewal of the resource (independently of other
causes of degradation of the resource).
26 It would prove unfounded to question the consensus on deforestation in
Haiti, or even to reject the conclusions concerning the gradual disappearance of resources. Yet it
is unfortunate that the lack of reliable information on wood resources and on the impacts of
firewood and charcoal consumption on deforestation makes it impossible to precisely design and
measure interventions needed in this domain, especially for charcoal substitution. There are serious
increasing petroleum imports; thus environmental justification of such actions must be carefully
supported.
2.7 Experience with other projects -- mainly those implemented in West Africa -- proves
that detailed inventories often provide data which is very different from the first estimates of the
resources condition and availability, especially for the non-forest resources (isolated trees, wood
from fallow land, wood from pruning) which provide the core source-of wood energy. This brings
to fore the importance and urgency of undertaking an inventory of wood resources, based on aerial
. photos and on-site crosschecks as planned under the IDA Forestry and Environmental Protection
Project (probable start in 1992).
28 Nonetheless, it is clear that deforestation in Haiti is an uncontestable reality, even
if the scope of its causes and effects largely exceeds the basic problem of wood energy supply and
demand. Thus one of the fundamental objectives of an energy strategy for households is to slow
the deforestation phenomenon by reducing the pressure caused by woodfuels consumption.
‘Impact on the Balance of Payments of Promoting Petroleum Substitutes for Wood and Charcoal
29 The large energy plantations have encountered so many obstacles that this option
basically has been abandoned in favor of the agroforestry approach. However, will the latter be
able to ensure reconstitution of forest resources sufficient for preserving the national forest
endowment? Under the current assumptions about the resource, it appears doubtful: the current
rhythm of agroforestry tree planting, already quite sustained, would have to be multiplied by a
factor of 7 or 8 in order to obtain nearly 23 million surviving plants each year (see figures in Annex
I). This effort would cost approximately $30 million per year, based on the current costs of such
operations.
2.10 Thus actions which target consumption ofwoodfuels, essentially in urban areas would
be needed: energy conservation, substitution by petroleum fuels. Under the same assumpions as
cited above, a drastic reduction in charcoal consumption would be needed to prevent the
obliteration of Haitian forest resources. Even if charcoal consumption were cut in half by 2000 -
- a considerable task - with continued reduction efforts after 2000, this would only delay the
[page 42]
-27-
theoretic disappearance of the forest by about 15 years. In order for the resource to be maintained
in its current state, an almost complete termination of charcoal consumption in the capital and main
cities of Haiti within the next ten years would be needed (Annex I). Therefore it is clear that
interventions are needed not only to conserve charcoal but also to substitute it.
2.11 It is possible to estimate the impact on the trade balance in terms of imported gas
or kerosene at current CIF prices if petroleum fuels were to be substituted for an equivalent level
. of charcoal consumption.3/ Consumption of charcoal in Port-au-Prince is estimated at 200,000 tons
(consumption by households and the small productive sector) in 1990, and at 100,000 additional tons
in other urban areas. The annual cost to the country of importing gas or kerosene in quantities the
equivalent of the current urban consumption of 300,000 tons of charcoal would amount to abour
US$35 million (with theoretic CIF prices, see Table 3.2), equivalent to about 25% of Haitis export
receipts in 1990. Thus promotion of charcoal substitution potentially could be a very costly solution
for the country, and would only be justified if charcoal exploitation presented an irreversible threat
to the environment.
2.12 Gas imports and most of gas marketing in Haïti -- for both propane and butane -
- are carried out by Shell and its various subsidiaries (Sodigaz, Tropigaz). Although other
pétroleum companies appeared interested in this market, they have not expiicitly voiced their
interest, probably because of the country's difficult political situation. The de facto monopoly
inherited by Shell presents several problems for the country and constitutes a major handicap to
the development of gas as a substitute for charcoal, - :
2.13 One of these problems is the current storage capacity. In the case of propane, it is
extremely limited: a little less than 15 days of storage, which often leads to depletion of stocks.
Because storage is limited, deliveries must be made in small quantities, at considerable transport
costs which burden the products CIF price (in 1990, the transport costs practically as much as the
gas). In fact, although the Haitian Government has invested in storage for other strategic products
‘such as diesel and fuel oil, it has no security stock facilities for gas. Nor do the petroleum
companies plan in the short term to invest in new storage or new bottling facilities.
2.14 The main problem involves the establishment of gas prices (see paragraph 3.46 for
more details). In a monopoly situation and in the absence of state regulation, the margins
established by the companies seem to be very high: between 60% and 70% of the retail price, split
Letween the importers and the distributors. By comparison, the combined margins for gas in a
3/ Taking into account the fuels calorific values and the efficiencies of related stoves, it is
estimated that 1 kilo of kerosene is equivalent to about 3 kg of charcoal, and 1 kg of gas is
equivalent to 3.7 kg of charcoal. At current CIF prices (respectively 0.68 and 0.77 Gourdes
per gallon), kerosene or gas imports to substitute for charcoal would contribute a nearly
identical weight to the trade
[page 43]
.28:
number of countries rarely represent more than 30% of the sales price, even in cases where the
markets are very limited (West Africa, for instance). In the case of a landlocked country such as
Burkina Faso, which has a very small market (nearly 800 tons, versus 7000 tons in Haiti) and where
gas is transported by road from the coast for a distance of more than 1000 kilometers, butane gas
taxed at a rate of more than 20% sold for about US$ 1/kg in 1989. This is equivalent to the
untaxed retail price of the butane sold along Haïtis coast. :
2.15 Throughout many countries, the State used taxes and perequation to absorb the
much of the profit produced by the drop in international oil prices (up to August 1990). In the case
of Haïti, however, it was the importer who apparently benefitted most.4/ This distorted situation
is not a fact which can be separated from the analysis of the sector, as it has direct implications for
the problems of comparing costs of household fuels and on taxation of petroleum products
2.16 Three important factors characterize Haïtiÿ’s rural milieu:
(a) increasing demographic pressure on agricultural lands, due to increases in the
population density from 300 to 400 inhabitants/km’ between 1965 and 1985 (whereas
in some areas, estate lands and large agricultural domains have been abandoned),
(b) a decrease in the size of cultivated land parcels: the percentage of cultivated parcels
measuring one "carreau" (1.29 ha) or less increased from 40 % to 70% between 1950
and 1971, when the last agricultural census was taken,
(c) a decrease in the value added of agriculture per unit from $185 in 1965 to $172 in
. 1985 (1976 constant prices), a decrease which undoubtedly has intensified in the last
years.
. 2.17 In a situation like this, any energy strategy which has as an objective the reduction
charcoal production activities must take into account the economic importarce of this activity in
rural areas and the social repercussions which could be brought about due to the loss of income for
some producers. Annual revenues in the charcoal sector amount to about $50 million, more than
in the electricity sector, more than half those of the petroleum sector and about one third the
industrial value added in Haiti. This also represents an annual injection of $15 million by the urban
consumers into Haitis rural economy (at the level of production and of rural marketing of
charcoal).
4/ Under current conditions, with few investments and a quite precarious supply system, the
small propane market in Haiti provides almost ss much margin to the petroleur company
and the related distributors as the combined propane sales provide to the different
importers and distributors operating in the Dominican Republic, which has a market 12
times as large (about 100,000 tons/year).

2.18 In terms of employment, it is estimated that more than 150,000 people are involved
in charcoal supply from rural production up to retail marketing; at least 67,000 of these are charcoal
producers 5/. Charcoal production is an income source for a large number of urban distributors:
: for the small neighborhood retailer, charcoal marketing constitutes a non-negligible complementary
income source, and for certain wholesalers and transporters the income generated is substantial,
2.19 Charcoal production also has become a crucial source of income for the economic
survival of some areas which are especially disadvantaged, and more and more, for a substantial
portion of HaïtŸs rural areas. The subdivision of farm land, the eradication of pig husbandry, the
abandonment of coffee cultivation in favor of food crops are all factors which encourage the peasant
to turn towards one of the few activities from which monetary income is assured: charcoal
production. .
2.20 ‘In the district of Anse Rouge, one of the areas in which charcoal production has long
been established, the forestry services estimate that there are 4000 charcoal producers and 2000
merchants (there often is overlap between the two activities). Most of the rural households and
a large number of the urban households in that district are engaged in producing and marketing
charcoal which, along with salt production, is the only possible activity. In other districts of the
Artibonite or in the north of the country, such as Saint Michel l’Attalaye or Dondon, between 50%
and 80% of the active rural population is engaged in charcoal production, and in other areas with
better agricultural possibilities (northeast, southwest), between 20% and 30% of the population.
221 According to surveys of charcoal producers in the Artibonite and in the northwest
of the country, charcoal income has become more important to the peasant than agricultural
revenues (even though it is not possible to precisely estimate the very variable ratio between
income from the two activities). In similar surveys undertaken in the south of the country, the
money from charcoal generally only appears as an occasional source of income, except during
drought periods. It is significant that this activity, generally the work of small peasants (as is still
the case in the south) now is done in the north by medium and large peasants. This appropriation
of charcoal production and marketing activities by the local petit-bourgeoisie (persons of influence,
merchants) in the Artibonite and in the north of the country occurs at all levels, including charcoal
collection and transport to consumption centers, whereas these activities are carried out by peasants
« in the south. ‘

À Weak Institutional Context
22 The efficiency of the Haitian private sector varies according to the participants. The
private sector has proven quite successful in case of charcoal marketing, which functions in a
satisfactory manner witl.out large investments, and also in the case of butane promotion, which in
three months had achieved its initial objectives for dissemination. Its efficiency has been less
obvious in the case of kerosene; its promotion as a cooking fuel has not been successful. In most
cookstoves is incumbent upon the private sector alone, with the assistance of and under the
regulation of public authorities. |
223 Various indicators illustrate the specific institutional difficulties in Haiti, and above
all the budgetary constraints faced by Haitian institutions. In order to operate satisfactorily, a
central administration should have a central operating budget (minus salaries) equivalent to about
half the total salaries. However, the 1988 operating budget for the central administration was
situated at only one third of normal needs. The two ministries involved in the different aspects of
the energy sector, the MARNDR (supervising ministry for the forestry sector) and the Ministry of
Public Works, Transport and Communications (supervising ministry for the energy sector) find
themselves in particularly critical conditions: these two ministries were forced to operate in
* | 1987/88 with expenditure allocations equivalent respectively to only 10% and 12 % of their actual
operating needs; while the BME, with a 7% ratio between operating expenses and salaries, was
granted only 20% of its budgetary needs to work with.
224 Without funds to finance operatingand maintenance expenditures, the administration
(such as the requirement that businesses switch from wood to other fuels), the lack of coordination
between the various projects, the delays and the negligible results achieved in implementing
programs in the past (such as the projects to distribute improved stoves), are examples of this,
225 A substantial number of activities financed by international aid tend to bypass public
authorities, preferring the efficiency of local organizations, in particular the thick network of NGOs
(minimum of 400) operating throughout Haïti. This solution, which is very advantageous for short-
term and quick interventions and activities, gives rise to a certain number of problems when a long-
term perspective is taken: dispersion of efforts, uncoordinated approaches, duplication of
226 Because of these problems, the government should make a renewed effort to fulfill
its mandate by defining the directions and coordinating the actions taken for household energy.
Given the weak institutional framework, it thus would be necessary to the extent possible: |
(a) to concentrate strategy on a small number of components, to avoid dispersion of
[page 46]
-31-
(b) to take into account the current weakmess of intervention means and plan for
necessary strengthening of institutions (adequate coordination between the
government and NGOs) and of logistics.
227 Whatever the degree of reliability in the information on the resource and on its
evolution, the preceding paragraphs showed that none of the planned solutions up to the present -
- forestry plantations, improved stoves, substitution fuels -- would be able to provide in and of itself
the solution to the problems of degradation of woodfuel resources.
related to its exploitation, and also to reducing specific consumption by the various wood and
charcoal consümers and substitution with other fuels all appear complex and interdependent. It
thus is necessary to incorporate all these items into a coordinated action program, which fully takes
into account the various aspects, energy and forestry related, economic and social. Thus an energy
strategy for the sector must be defined and implemented which simultaneously addresses the
following needs:
(a) to decrease the pressure on Haitian forestry resources, and more generally on the
environment, caused by woodfuel consumption;
() to supply at least cost stoves and energy fuels adapted to the needs and financial
means of different categories of consumers;
(©) to improve the efficiency of production, distribution and utilization of household
fuels;
(d) to preserve the interest of rural woodfuels producers, especially those for whom
charcoal production is a main economic activity, by allowing them to exercise their
activity in a more efficient framework or by assuring their reconversion.
229 Analysis of the situation allows several guiding principles of the strategy to be
defined, which are the following:
(8) take into account the characteristics of household energy demand; the strategy
should be based on analysis of the actual market for fuels and stoves, take into
. account consumer preferences and financial means in order to define solutions which
are diversified and adapted to their needs.
[page 47]
-32-
(b) define a pricing policy which reflects the economic costs of supply and distribution
of household fuels, in a least cost approach for the country;
(c) graduallÿ restore the financial balance of the sector through eliminating existing
distortions. Through the means of preferential exchange rates, the Haitian economy
subsidizes petroleum fuels and, since recently, portable gas stoves. In addition, under
current pricing conditions for woodfuels, the smallholder owners of wood covered
areas subsidize the price of charcoal to the benefit of the urban consumer by selling
wood at a price generally lower than replacement costs: this is possible at the cost
of forestry resource-mining production techniques, which induce degradation of the
environment and of the rural economy in the medium term.
(d) improve fiscal revenues from household fuels; this would allow at least partial self
financing of investments in the energy sector. In fact, neither the current tax
structure, nor the existing methods and efficiency to collect taxes are sufficient for
the State to have resources to invest in improvements for energy supply and
consumption.
‘ (e) focus interventions on a small number of essential themes: the importance of certain
priority action themes, the urgency of an intervention at a large enough level and
the difficulty of undertaking multiple interventions in the current institutional context
all incite to limitating the of strategy to some major components.
+ (f) take advantage of all relevant organizations present in Haïti (NGOs, communal
sections, institutions, associations) as co-implementors of the various strategy
components.

IL THE STRATEGY
3.1 In countries like Haïti where woodfuels consumption is dominant, a household
energy strategy generally should be centered on two principal axes:
(a) _ interventions on woodfuel supply-side: improved production and marketing of wood
and especially charcoal;
| (b) interventions on fuel demand-side, mainly through
G) substituting wood and charcoal with other fuels, especially petroleum
‘ products;
(ii) improving conditions for using wood and charcoal, in particular by the
distribution of more efficient energy products.
A. Interventions on Woodfuel Supply
32 In order to define the options for supply-side intervention, the present economic
situation of charcoal exploitation must be analyzed. This analysis demonstrates the need for
complementarity between demand-based and charcoal supply-based strategies, and allows the
resources and actions needed to modernize the charcoal sector to be defined.

33 The evolution of real charcoal prices can be examined using a relatively long
timeseries (dating from 1953 to the present) which was compiled by the IHSI as part of its price
index series. Use of this type of statistical abstract, where charcoal is included in a basket of
commodities, generally does not yield themost reliable gauge, because measures of charcoal price
relative to weight are not accurate and are generally made with a small sample. Nonetheless, this
abstract undoubtedly is one of the better sets of timeseries data available in Haïti. Three principal
periods of evolution are evident from the data (see Figure 3.1):
(a) during the first period, up to 1967 (the year when cyclone Cléo struck), charcoal
prices decreased in real terms,
(b) during the second period, from 1967 to 1985, charcoal prices rose rapidly,
(c) during the third period, from 1987 to the present, charcoal prices grew more slowly.
[page 49]
-.%4-
34 Several explanations are possible for these successive trends, The relative dropin |
real charcoal prices from 1950 to 1967 undoubtedly is due to the relative abundance of wood during
that time. In addition, the 1960s were punctuated by a succession of cyclones (Flora in 1963, Inès
in 1966, and the strongest, Cléo in 1967) during which substantial quantities of wood were felled,
thus providing "cost-free" materials to produce charcoal inexpensively for the urban population.

3.5 The opposite tendency of prices after 1967 can be explained by the evolution of the
resource supply: relatively abundant before 1967, wood became increasing scarce in subsequent
years. The development of major and secondary roadways in the north and south at the beginning
ofthe 1970s opened Haïtÿs rural areas to the modern economy, temporarily producing a aownward
effect on prices. However other factors once again contributed upward pressure.on prices, including
increased transportation costs and the progressively spreading practice by local authorities of
illegally collecting part of the costs of charcoal transport and marketing,
36 The recent slowdown in the growth of real charcoal prices can be explained by:
(a) _ at.the demand level, increased competition from new fuels. The threshold at which
petroleum fuels become competitive with wood-based fuels has been surpassed: in
terms of useful energy, propane gas and kerosene have become less expensive than
charcoal (see para. 3.42 to 3.45).
[page 50]
.35-
(b) several factors on the supply side which are the more likely determinants in the
downward pressure on charcoal prices. They include:
(1) the relative decrease in rural incomes, and thus the decrease in the
(&) and in particular, from 1986 onwards, the suspension of local controls on
forest exploitation, which prompted the spread of charcoal production
throughout the country.
37 None of the price evolutions produced benefits for charcoal producers; in fact the
contrary is true. The producer’s share of the retail charcoal price has decreased continuously for
the past ten years (see Figure 3.2), Charcoal price increases primarily have been due to increasing
intermediary costs; the producer price has remained constant. This means that the producer’s
actual income has dropped, if the newly-recognized fact of increasing monetary value of the wood
used for charcoal production is taken into account.

38 In fact, the time when charcoal production was based primarily on access to a “free"
resource is essentially past. Neariy 60% of charcoal producers operating on land other than their
own buy the wood used for carbonization, either through direct purchases or, more frequentiy due
to insufficient cash flow, by splitting the charcoal sales price with the wood supplier. In the case
where wood is purchased directly, the producer pays an average of 3 to 3.5 Gourdes for the quantity
needed to produce one bag of charcoal, equivalent to H$ 2/m° or H$3/ton of wood (assuming a
[page 51]
-36-.
weighted carbonization efficiency of 20%). When the charcoal price is shared, the split most often
is 40% to 50% for the wood supplier (about 4 Gourdes per bag) and 50% to 60% for the charcoal
producer: in this case, the equivalent price of wood for the producer is nearly H$ 3/m° or H$
4/ton.
39 Thus the 1990 price of wood used for carbonization is less than half the cost of
planting wood, estimated by FAO at US$5.4/m° or US$7.7/ton for the larger plantations. Another
comparison to be made is with the present costs of planting trees under agroforestry projects: each
suiviving tree costs about US$1.5 and annually yields -- independent of the environmental benefits
to the rural economy of planting trees — about 3 US cents (based on productivity of 10 kg/year,
calculated in terms of current prices of wood used in carbonization). Finally, these figures can be
compared with the estimated environmental costs of deforestation - namely loss of sediments,
reduced soil productivity, and erosion (see Annex XII) -- which in Haiti are about US$ 23/ton of
wood (Hosier and Bernstein, 1989).
3.10 The fact that a monetary value has been attached to wood used in charcoal
- exploitation indicates an ongoing transition in the perception of deforestation in Haïti, Whereas
deforestation previously was noted only by specialists, its impacts now directly affect the wood
consuming population. However, the cost of wood is yet not enough ta induce rational exploitation
of wood resources or even the development of a specific economic rent associated with wood
planting. Replanting efforts must be pursued, but in strictly financial terms, they-are not profitable
at present. Based on the FAO cost estimates, planting wood could be profitable if producer costs
more than double to 18 Gourdes/m? (split 6 Gourdes for the charcoal producer and 12 Gourdes
to the wood supplier). This would imply a 20% increase in urban retail prices, which is acceptable
if less expensive fuel alternatives also are available to consumers. Petroleum fuels already provide
less costly alternatives for households able to invest at least $30 or $40 for a portable cookstove.
In addition, the recommended improved stoves program would permit consumers to save up to 20%
on fuel expenditures for a modest initial investment of only $4 to $5.
3.11 The evolution of charcoal prices presents a basic problem with regard to which
strategy should be adopted. The strategies to be considered can be described in terms of two
._ extremely different options, both of which carry strong potential environmental risks:
(a) The first option is to retain the current policy: let charcoal consumption increase
at its natural pace. Resource shortages gradually will induce the cost of wood to rise
until the associated economic rent develops. When the fact that Haïtrs
| environmental deterioration is due to multiple causes -- not just wood offtake for
charcoal production -— is taken into account, planting and cuitivating trees for energy
- use becomes then another means of environmental preservation, just as with the
cultivation of coffee and banana plantations in other countries. However, will the
environmental damage caused in the meantime not be irreversible?
[page 52]
-37-
(b) Another option is to forego supply-side intervention and focus strategy on
substitution and energy conservation. The induced decrease in charcoal consumption
would diminish the pressure of wood offtake on forest resources. However the
policy of intervening only on the demand-side also carries certain risks: a downward
pressure will develop on charcoal prices, and subsequently on the cost of wood. This
will tend to perpetuate the "mining" character of current forestry practices, in which
the resource is exploited without concern for its renewability.
3.12 These considerations emphasizes the need for a global strategy of intervention
incorporating both energy and forestry aspects:
(a) demand-side interventions to induce energy substitution and energy conservation;
(b) supply-side interventions to establish conditions which will render wood and charcoal
prices more expensive, namely through rational exploitation of wood resources due
to a modernized charcoal sector.
3.13 Interventions on the conditions of charcoal marketing and production must be a
| principal element of the strategy. This will convert exploitation of forestry resources from its
present “mining” model into a cohesive system for rationally managing a renewable national
resource. Two important factors which would hinder development of a rationalized system must
be taken into account:
(a) institutional weaknesses in the supervision of the sector, and the foreseeable
difficulties this supervising entity will have when attempting to implement required
improvements,
(b) the lack of any systematic study of the charcoal sector, its role in the peasant
economy, and its impacts on the environment in each exploitation zone.
3.14 These constraints shape and color to a large extent the contents and organization
of supply-side intervention. As a result, it is recommended that a specialized, autonomously
managed and financed unit ternporarily be established within the MARNDR. This unit would be
responsible for analyzing the different aspects of charcoal exploitation (including the conditions for
enforcing laws and fiscal policy) and for coordinating and supervising the projects and programs to
‘ modernize the charcoal sector.
La
[page 53]
. 38. ‘
3.15 The unit’s operations will be developed in coordination with and as a complement
to actions undertaken within the framework of the new Forestry and Environmental Protection
Project 6/, on the three following priority themes: .
(a) geographic reorientation of charcoal offake;
(b) modernization of the supply network;
(c) better collection of taxes on charcoal.
3.16 Restraining the conditions of charcoal supply is one of the key solutions to induce
an increase in the price of charcoal, and especially in the price of wood used for carbonization.
Undoubtedly, it is unrealistic to propose a total ban on charcoal production in some areas.
Nonetheless, it is possible to constrain charcoal shipments from these areas to the urban markets:
in certain zones, maximum quotas, regulated by local officials, would be allocated restricting the
quantities of charcoal which could be transported to Port-au-Prince and the other main cities.
Effective application of the quotas will depend on the compliance of local authorities; it should be
noted that in some areas, these very authorities already have implemented similar measures, usually
by defining exit quotas for charcoal from their districts. This is the case in the Hinche and Grande
Anse districts, where local measures consistent with those proposed for national application have
been adopted due to initiatives by local authorities.
3.17 In order to assure effective implementation of the measures recommended, it is
important that any quota policy, which necessarily would penalize some charcoal production zones,
be negotiated on the local level and in particular with the affected charcoal producers. 1t may be
necessary to include the producers in a sort of compensation program, where specific priority
programs are introduced to mitigate the impacts on charcoal producing families in areas affected
by the quotas.
3.18 Restriction of charcoal production is very much needed, ‘and quickly. Areas of the
country which would be affected by these restrictions include:
$#/ The FEPP will include the following components: (a) institutional strengthening for the
MARNER, induding improvementé to the tax regime for woodfuels; (b) specific foreatrs
and environmental programs, including management of the Reserve orest (28,000
ha) and an inventory national forest resources; and (c) promotion of improved charcoal
stoves by the BME. The total amount of the IDA credit is US$ 25.9 million; the project is
slated to begin in 1992. *
[page 54]
-39- .
(a) _ in order of priority, new production zones where the activity orly recently — and
chaotically -- has been established:
(b) more established production zones where affiliated forestry exploitation has caused
significant damage.
3.19 The new production zones would be targeted first: as charcoal exploitation has not
yet become ingrained in the local peasant economy of these areas (and thus they can more easily
absorb the loss in income from charcoal production), this will fecilitate implementation of a quota
policy and limit its impact. While it is difficult to generalize, the zones to be targeted for the most
part, would include the Central Plateau, the Grande Anse and more generally the southwest
peninsula and the southeastern part of the country, as well as the older supply zone in the South.
These areas cumulatively already represent 30% of Port-au-Prince’s current charcoal consumption
(see Figure 3.3). The main areas from which charcoal should continue to be supplied to
Port-au-Prince thus would be limited: the north, the northwest, the Artibonite, the west and Gonave
Island, which currently provide 70% of the charcoal sold in Port-au-Prince. 7/
3.20 In the zones which would come under supply quotas, charcoal production conditions
can be summarized as follows: there are in total about 24,000 part-time charcoal producers, usually
small peasants, who make charcoal only a few months out of the year. The income received from
charcoal is considered secondary contingency income, complementary to agricultural incomes:
less than $100 annually, or less than half the average monetary income from agriculture in these
areas (more than $200).
3.21 Based on what is known regarding the local supply networks, depriving these areas
of the Port-au-Prince market would cause unemployment of about 15,000 to 20,000 charcoal
producers maximum and an overall loss of income emounting to 10 million Gourdes. This is a far
from negligible loss, whether observed from the macroeconomic level of the affected provinces or
from the macroeconomie level of the peasant. Actual impacts at district level should be analyzed
on a case by case basis, in order to’ determine the full extent of negative effects on the local
economy and the means by which these effects can be mitigated.
32 To be successful, implementation of the planned quotas must first be technically
feasible. Although it is impossible to ban completely production in certain zones (Haitÿs history
of forestry management is rich with inapplicable decrees), technically it should be possible if not
to prevent, at least to definitely hinder illicit shipments of charcoal coming from the prohibited
zones. This would be possible by limiting charcoal transit on major road axes (the roads to

3.23 Technical feasibility of the quota proposal is not the only condition for its success;
neither the ability of the local people to adapt to regulations which are contrary to their interests,
nor the possitädities of overriding control mechanisms through illicit agreements, should be
underestimated. Implementation of the quota system necessarily must be accompanied by a
collaborative effort with the main local authorities in the affected zones — representatives of the
State and of the local communities, the NGOSs, and specialists working in the field - to define and
negotiate at the local level the means by which income losses caused by limiting access to the
charcoal markets of Port-au-Prince can be compensated.
3.24 Compensation most likely would take the form of a priority action program tarzeting
the peasants most affected by the restricted charcoal markets. The modalities of this program
should be defined at the local level, and could take various forms, based on local priorities. In some
areas, charcoal revenues are linked with the cost of schooling (supplies, enrollment fees), which
[page 56]
-41-
could be reduced; elsewhere compensation could take the form of assistance for reviving pig
husbandry; elsewhere still programs to commercialize wood products, especially those from the
wood of fruit trees, would be appropriate. These actions are for the most part outside the scope
of an energy strategy and, once defined, should be implemented within the framework of existing
or future rural development programs. :
325 Consolidated financing for such a program at the national level could be assured in
part by the Haitian government, but mainly by a group of institutional or non-governmental lenders.
Also, some proposed actions easily could be included in social action programs such as the future
Economic and Social Fund. Taking into account the overall estimated loss of revenues by charcoal
producers, the total cost of a rural development program nf this type could range from US$ 3 to
5 million over a three year period. This program would be implemented by rural organizations
already operating in the affected zones as soon as the restrictions on charcoal marketing, or even
a total restriction of wood offtake in some zones, are effectively in place and operational.
Mosernization of Supply Networks |
326 In the zones which would continue to supply charcoal to the capital (see para. 3.18),
the situation will be the opposite of that described above: charcoal marketing will inject additional
economic resources into the supply provinces (in amounts at least equivalent to the losses in the
quota zones, and probably greater, since limiting the exploitation zones should make producer
prices rise), but at the cost of concentrating and increasing within a smaller area the pressure on
forestry resources due to charcoal exploitation.
327 The objectives of the project components for charcoal conservation and substitution,
described in Section B, are to decrease this pressure. However, the problem also can be addressed
partially by improving the existing conditions for charcoal production. In the older, more
established production zones, such as Anse Rouge for example, charcoal exploitation has developed |
sort of professionalism: the activity provides regular employment with incomes of over $150/year,
exceeding agricultural incomes-in areas with weak cultivation potential. In these areas, many
medium-scale peasants are employed by this activity, which in other areas is reserved for small
peasants. The proposed strategy should benefit from this existing professionalism, which manifests
itself in carbonization practices which are less destructive to local forestry resources. The
professional nature of charcoal exploitation in the traditional production zones not only provides
a guarantee of efficiency, but equally helps improve availability of wood for carbonization (through
better management of existing resources).
3.28 In other zones (especially in the areas targeted for quotas, but also in certain areas
where production is strongly established), charcoal exploitation is still relatively new and has not
yet damaged the local resources. Although newly established producers in these areas have the
opportunity to use better quality wood, their carbonization methods are still far from below on par
with those of the producers in the more established areas. Pre-drying wood ("dégorgé") is used only
[page 57]
|
by a minority of the producers in the area (30%), those precisely who are originary from a
traditional charcoal production area. The more recently a producer has ventured into charcoal
exploitation, the less efficient are his techniques for stacking wood in the kilns (“boat* kilns or
*parasol" kilns, the Haitian equivalent of the Casamance kiln used in Senegal) and carbonization.
3.29 However, it is clear that among its professional charcoal producers, Haiti possesses
an incontestable prowess in charcoal making: the weighted yields obtained from kilns in established
charcoal producing areas, about 20% (measurements by USAID, 1976 and by the BME in 1985 and
1990), are among the best in the world, and are altogether comparable to those obtained with metal
and brick ovens. It is necessary to make good use of this charcoal-making tradition and to help it
spread throughout the areas concerned:
(a) by finding new operating areas for the experienced charcoal makers who operate in
areas where resources are near exhaustion;
(b) by training qualified charcoal producers in the new production areas;
(c) by finding means to supply qualified producers with wood sufficient for their
production needs, while taking into account environmental concerns.
3.30 The objective is to arrive eventually to a point where qualified charcoal making
constitutes a real profession (such is the case in the more established traditional production zones).
Peasants thus would benefit more from supplying wood for carbonization to the professionals,
rather than carbonizing it themselves. To a certain extent, this is the current situation: about one
third of the charcoal producers surveyed aperate on their own land, whereas more than half
purchase wood or split the price of charcoal made with wood obtained from small landholders (see
Table on page 12 of Annex X).
3.31 The system for taxing wood and charcoal must be improved so that the woodfuels
subsector itself can partially finance its rationalization and modernization by contributing
significantly (which is not yet the case) to the operating costs of a forestry service responsible for
managing the subsector and by financing 2 share of the public investments in the subsector. The
amount of the charcoal tax does not need to be increased in the short term, but rather the existing
system must be improved:
(8) by simplifying the system of collecting and transferring funds;
() by pursuing improved control, including a better rate of charcoal tax collection.
[page 58]
-43-
3.32 The current system of local, decentralized tax collection by local MARNDR agents
generally is a good system; tax collection at the entrance to the cities would be more problematic
(greater risks of attacks on the posts, etc.) Some improvements are possible nonetheless at two
levels: the actual collection of the tax, and the transfer and reallocation of funds. The
improvements would be designed to avoid excessive handling and movements of funds, which
currently are easily subject to bureaucratie hassles and embezzlement.
333 It would be preferable to relieve the forestry agents of their tax collecting duties and
to reassign this responsibility to a fiscal agent, namely the local tax collector for the Ministry of
Finance. Subsequently, collection of charcoal taxes should be transferred to payer-agents in local
villages (village tax collectors), as provided for in the 1987 Constitution.
334 In fact, it would be a good idea to eventually pass a local tax statute for charcoal,
(a) The efficiency of collection will be proportional to the share ofthe tax receipts which
directly benefit the local administration responsible for collecting it.
(b) Thesystem of having the district taxes on forestry operations sent to the capital, then
returned to the district level (though not always the same district) is very difficult
LL to manage under current circumstances. |
| (c) A iocal tax system will allow the development of a differential tax system based on
local conditions of wood resource availability and management.
3.35 A portion of the tax revenues should go to the Forestry Fund (the current Special
Fund for Reforestation) to finance Forestry Services activities, and the remaining funds could be
used by the local authorities for local pricrities, especially those concerning reforestation and
environmental protection. Periodic discussions between the central and local authorities, (e.g., with
the boards of communal sections) could be held concerning use of these funds, with the forestry
authority reserving the supervisory rights to activities and bringing its own technical assistance to
the use of these funds.
3.36 Current efforts to improve the control of charcoal supply should concentrate on
strengthening the operations at existing control posts: repairing some posts (in particular the one
situated at the wharf of the Cité Soleil); training agents at the forestry assigned to control duties;
the implementation a simple computerized system for collecting and treating data. Additionally,
some supplemental control posts will need to be set up, in particular at Port-au-Prince, at Gonaives
and at Cap Haïtien.

B._Demand-Side Interventions
337 The supply-side interventions for wood and charcoal are inseparable from demand-
side interventions — those to introduce and promote substitution fuels and more efficient
equipment. The approaches used in the demand-side intervention, which constitutes the second axis
of the strategy, are determined in large part by two related factors:
(a) the economic conditions of substituting for wood and charcoal,
(b) the fuel and stove markets.
‘
3.38 Competition among the three main fuels - charcoal, kerosene and gas -- must be
analyzed on three levels of comparison. They are the following:
(a) the “financial cost" of the fuel: the cost of fuel at the final user's level, a cost which
will depend on the retail price, the fuel’s calorific value, and the cost and efficiency
of associated stoves.
(b) the current economic costs" of the fuel: the cost to the national economy, excluding
taxes, exchange differentials, subsidies, and all artificial mechanisms which modify
the fuel price.
(c) the “theoretic economic costs" of the fuel: the cost of the fuel under the hypothesis
that measures would be taken to improve the supply and distribution systems, and
that the evolution of the demand would entail variations of supply costs.
C jve Fuel Pris
3.39 The evolution of the costs of cooking with charcoal (purchased by the bag) and with.
three competing petroleum fuels -- propane, butane and kerosene (cost at the pump or bulk price) -
- are given in Figure 3.4 for Port-au-Prince. The costs of associated stoves are not included in these
calculations. The figure illustrates the following points:
(a) the progressive increase in the cost of cooking with charcoal, as described previously,
(b) the correlating drop in the price of petroleum fuels, including the more distinct drop
in propane during the last few years, primarily due to taxation decisions,
[page 60]
. | 45.
(c) decontrolled propane became competitive with charcoal in 1985, and kerosene, after
. subjected to new tax controls, became competitive again in 1988,
(d) of course these costs depend an the stoves used: thus with more efficient stovesthan
those presently used (portable pressurized kerosene cookers, improved charcoal
stoves), kerosene and charcoal costs are on par with those of propane,
(e) under current conditions, butane is more expensive than competing fuels.

340 Amortization and maintenance cost of stoves are incorporated into the calculations
presented in Tabie 3.1 (a summary of the detailed tables attached in Appendix VI). These figures
confirm the preceding conclusions: cooking with charcoal, kerosene or propane gas essentially costs
the same for the Port-au-Prince consumer (about H$ 30 to 35 per useful GJ), with butane being
3.41 Two remarks, however, ought to be noted. The first concerns how fuels are
purchased: if the hoôüseholds do not purchase variable quality charcoal in bags or in smaller portions
(75% of households purchase charcoal in this manner), but prefer to purchase selected charcoal,
sold in pots or baskets, their cooking costs is almost double the previous estimates,
342 The quantities in which kerosene is purchased also are important. Most of the Ê
present users of portable kerosene stoves purchase their fuel by gallon at the pump. However there
are anly on the order of 70 service stations in Port-au-Prince. With the development of the
[page 61]
. - 46-
kerosene market consumers would purchase kerosene from retailers. The fact that kerosene can
be purchased daily in small quantities is one of its greatest advantages as a fuel: thus it becomes
more accessible to lower-income households or to those with irregular incomes. However this
service also comes at a price: the selling price of a 1-liter bottle is 30% more expensive than the
. price when purchased by the gallon at the pump.

343 The other more fundamental remark concerns the current structure of the price of
gas, as presented in Table 3.2. The various components of that price are reviewed in turn,
beginning with the FOB price. The FOB purchase prices for gas, 29 and 40 cents per galion
respectively for propane and butane, presently are about 5 cents above the Mt. Belvieu spot market
postings. This is not a temporary or conjectural phenomenon: for the past five years or more,
petroleum products, and particularly gas, have been imported at prices 3 to 5 cent higher than the
spot market price per gallon. For the 30,000 tons imported during this period, this represents an
3.44 The transport component in the gas price structure - about 30 cents per gallon of
gas, or $150 per ton of gas — is quite elevated compared to the costs of gas transport in, for
example, Jamaica (US$ 40/T for an annual market of 45,000 tons) or the Dominican Republic (US$
50/T for an annual market of 35,000 tons). ‘These differences cannot be explained only by the very
reduced size of deliveries, which arrive every 15 days in Port-au-Prince. According to a BAPP
study, if gas transport were open to competition, the cost would become fixed at around US$100/T
under present conditions, and gradually would level out to around US$50/T (10 cents per gallon)
if the gas market were to grow substantially and if new reception facilities and adequaie storage
infrastructure were installed,
[page 62]
-47-
3.45 The limited size of the Haïtian market also is not the only explanation for the high
combined margins (approximately 60% for propane and more than 70% for butane) for importing
and distribution companies. The usual combined margin in similar market situations in neighboring
markets or other micro-markets (in Africa, for example) is between 30 and 35%.

3.46 A comparison of the price structure for propane in Haiti with that in the Dominican
Republic is quite instructive: the Dominican Republic market for propane is 12 times larger and
also strongly competitive, The CIF price there is practically half that of Haïti and the price before
subsidies are added is three times lower. Once subsidized, the propane costs five times less for the
customer than in Haïti (see Table 3.3). This comparison does not take into account, however,
possible differences between Haïti and the Dominican Republic with respect to corporate taxes on
benefits. It is also worth mentioning that the assessment of investment risk is probably different
in these two countries; in Haïti, Shell applies a rate of return on investment of 15%, which is
probably higher than the rate applied by private firms in the Dominican Republic. However, these
possible differences could not totally explain the large margin difference that exists between the two
countries. A detailed review of the price structure of butane and propane should therefore be
conducted, in close collaboration with the gas importer and distributors, and with the BAPP; this
would be included in the proposed study of the options to develop the LPG market in Haiti (see
Annex XI). .

3.47 Herein lies the problem of the competition among fuels. The price structure of
kerosene is relatively sound: there is competition among distributors and the price components are
negotiated with the State. However, if the basic components of the gas price structure were to be
revised, its retail price would reach about 60 cents per gallon: refilling costs for a 12.5 kg container
would amount to $4, and for the Bip container, 4 Gourdes. If prices were revised downward in this
manner, gas (butane or propane) would become the cheaper fuel, distinctly lower priced than
competing fuels. With the present tax regime, the cost of cooking with gas, including amortization
and maintenance costs for stoves, would then be two times lower than the cost of cooking with
Charcoal or kerosene.
"348 Comparison of economic costs takes into account the real costs of different fuels and
stoves. Thus the analysis takes -costs net of the various taxes (especially kerosene taxes) and
of wood used in the analysis is different from the current market value; rather it reflects
replacement costs using agroforestry planting techniques and takes into account the reference prices
for the labor, the margins for producers, transporters, wholesalers and retailers, and the exchange
rate (see Appendix V); thus the economic cost of charcoal is less than its current retail selling price.
3.49 It is apparent from this comparison that under present circumstances, kerosene is
the most economic solution when it is purchased at the pump (between US$18 and US$22 per
useful GJ). The costs arrived at for other fuels are, in ascending order: charcoal (between US$20
and US$27 per useful GJ) and gas (US$29 and US$44 per useful GJ respectively for propane and
butane). Clearly, under current prices, the country’s most economic solution is to substitute
[page 64]
-49.
kerosene for charcoal. Otherwise, agroforestry planting is the next best solution, with gas
substitution being the least economic (see Table 3.4). If the base cost of gas is revised to reflect
its real economic costs, the situation is reversed: Its economic cost falls to around US$1$ per useful
GJ, thus making it the best alternative for the country, not only for Port-au-Prince but also in the
provincial towns where charcoal is about 30% cheaper than in the capital.

3.50 In terms ofthe impacts of importing petroleum products on the balance of payments,
there is also a tendency for the options to reverse their order of desirability if gas prices are revised
(see Table 3.3). Under present price conditions, the impact of petroleum imports is about the same
for both kerosene or gas (slightly lower in the case of propane, a little higher in the case of butane).
Importing gas is the least cost option when gas prices are revised.
3.51 In conclusion, the gas solution appears the most advantageous ‘or consumers and
the country, but only if necessary measures are taken to open the market to greater competition
| and if necessary investments are made for storage and distribution infrastructure. However, the
various parameters which govern consumer choices for purchasing equipment and switching to
another fuel, need to be analyzed to determine if the gas market is worth a promotion effort. The
market for fuels and stoves is, therefore, analyzed in the following section.
[page 65]
- 50 -
The Market for Fuels and Stoves
3.52 The characteristics of Port-au-Prince households that currently use gas and kerosene
are as follows:
: (a) the 40,000 residential users of propane gas are distinguished by their level of income:
almost all affluent households and a majority of the upper-middle income households
own gas equipment. Whatever the income level, more than one in every two
(b) the 20,000 new Bip purchasers have a profile somewhat like households of the
-__ previous category (see Table 3.5): larger, well-to-do households which have been
reluctant to make the switch to gas and purchase Bip as contingency equipment;
middle class households; and even the better-off among poorer househoïds (nearly
10% of households with monthly incomes of less than $72 per capita have purchased
a Bip). However, the further removed this market penetration is from the
| traditional propane markets, the more likely purchases of Bip equipment are made
for contingency use; on the average only one Bip owner in three uses it as the
primary cooking appliance. Finally, the owners of Bip are younger than the average:
50% of Bip users are less than 30 years old, 80% less than 40 years old.

(c) the 5,500 household users of kerosene are well-off to middle class households with
the same type of income. However they tend to be not only older than Bip users
(two-thirds of women who cook with kerosene are between 30 and 40 years old), but
they also have larger than average households (often 6-8 people per household).

3.57 The market potential in Port-au-Prince for the different stoves and fuels (for primary
use) was determined based on different analyses conducted during the study. A factor analysis of
socio-economic characteristics, purchasing behavior, and energy consumption practices of
households polled in the capital (see Appendix VII) showed a certain number of fundamental
parameters that determine the choices of stoves and fuels. These determining factors are in
decreasing order: (3) purchasing ability (level, regularity); (ii) ability to investment; (ii) willingness
to modernize (or concern for tradition); (iv) household size; and (v) introversion of household (or
on the contrary, openness to the external world). ‘
3.58 On the basis of both this analysis and the results of the stoves presentation, five
target groups were identified 9/, with different profiles:
(a) Group A: households without budgetary or rigid dietary constraints;
(b) Group B: households of more than six people, with a variable but regular income;
(c) Group C: average-sized households with a certain level of education;
(d) Group D: households witi: ‘ox or irregular income;
0
(e) GroupE: modern, progressive households.
3.59 An evaluation of the market potential of each of the principal types of stoves and
fuels was conducted for each of these groups under two scenarios: (i) gas prices remain at their
present level, and (ii) gas prices are reduced appreciably to levels two times less than their present
. level, In the latter case, a sensitivity analysis was also carried out for the respective market shares
for the main stoves and fuels in rejation to exogenous factors (inflation, income level) or
endogenous factors (distribution policies, price of equipment, loan availability, advertising strategy
for promoters of different equipment).
3.60 . The results, detailed in Appendix VIII are summarized in Table 3.6. This table
describes the potential markets in Port-au-Prince for the different fuels and stoves for primary use.
The results mainly show:
(a) relatively interesting prospects for substitution with the possibility, all things being
equal, of inducing over 40% of households to switch to a primary fuel other than
charcoal;

() thestrongpreference for gas among all substitution possibilities (27% of households;
10% opt for kerosene and 3% for electricity) 10/. The market for “popular gas" (Bip
or possibly other portable stoves) could absorb most potential new gas users, thus
attaining up to two thirds of the gas market;
(c) the entrenchment of a substantial portion of households (60% of the total) which
are resistant to substitution and will continue to use charcoal, either in a small round
stove (46%) or a potajé stove (14%);
(d) the possible level of market penetration by ro’:nd improved stoves, encompassing
40% of small stoves users and a little less than 20% of the total households,

3.61 An appreciable downward evolution in gas prices would reinforces these tendencies.
Under the most o:timistic hypotheses, gas would attain market shares of 50% in the capital city,
cutting into the charcoal market (especially among potajé users), and also gaining significantly on
kerosene and electricity. This would facilitate shifts from conventional gas to popular gas and
19/ The percentage preferring kerosene would be greater than 10% if kerosene prices were

54.
therefore would benefit both types of gas in equal shares. It also would in no way negate the need
to begin efforts to distribute improved stoves to the population segments who continue to use
charcoal,
3.62 it is apparent from the market analyses that, even under optimistic scenarios of
substitution, the percentage of charcoal users would remain around 40% in the medium term.
Mountiag a conservation program thus remains a priority. In addition, the likelihood is high that
market penetration by the small round improved stove will be successful in all cases: estimates are
between 40% and 50% of current users of the older round stove model.
3.63 The conclusions of this analysis correspond to those of the analysis of financial and
economic costs for the different fuels. The market analysis suggests that gas has the best chance
of achieving massive substitution; and the cost analysis shows that it is possible to make significant
interventions at the price structure level in order to promote gas use among urban Haitian
consumers.
364 Therefore, it is necessary to examine the feasibility and the conditions of those
components which correspond to the two main axes of the energy strategy, designed to alleviate the
pressure of woodfuel consumption on the Haitian environment in the short term:
| (a) the reduction of urban charcoal consumption through promotion of gas substitution;
(b) energy savings achieved through distributing more efficient systems of cooking with
charcoal, .
Gas Promotion
3.65 Whether it be in terms of comparative costs of different fuels or of consumers’
preferences, gas is the best substitution option for charcoal in the capital and the main Haïtian
cities. However, as previously seen, the current gas market is not optimal, on three distinct levels:
(a) the cost of supply on the international market and of transporting gas to the island;
(b) the capacity of docking and storage facilities;
(c) the margins taken by importers and distributors.
3.66 As a consequence, the price of gas is increased in an excessive fashion; the fuel thus
is limited a small fraction of the population. Continuation of this situation could be understood in
an environmental context different from Haitis: the well-off customer incontestably benefits from
reliable and high quality service, and the pressure which LPG imports exert on the balance of
[page 70]
—
55.
payments remains minimum under current conditions. However, as has been previously discussed,
massive LPG distribution in substitution for charcoal is urgently needed. Thus steps must be taken
to open the gas market,
3.67 Two fundamental options are available to public authorities for developing the gas
market: (i) negotiate an agreement with the current importer, which satisfies both parties and
favors rapid expansion of the gas marke (a regulated “natural” monopolÿ) - or (ii) encourage the
creation of competing supply and distribution firms. The most simple of the options theoretically
is to strike an agreement with the existing operator concerning regulated prices for propane and
butane (return to the situation before 1987) and the new investment program for increasing storage
and filling capacity. However the other option of encouraging the creation of one or several
competing supplies has the advantage of addressing both the pzoblems of investment and of prices:
since the market will be increasing, it thus is preferable for the State to facilitate market entry by
various competing suppliers rather than to negotiate with a single supplier. The option of
geographic concessions that would be allocated by the Government to different operators for the
main cities is not feasible at the moment due to the limited size of the potential market for gas
sales in cities other than Port-au-Prince; however, this option should be reviewed again as soon as
the potential market in these cities (Cap-Haïtien, Gonaïves, Les Cayes) justifies the installation of
small bottling plants, probably during the next decade (see Annex IX for market estimates in main
3.68 The appearance of a new supply and distribution company would stimulate
competition not only in the “conventional" market for propane (12.5 kg and 50 kg, or even 100 kg
containers), but also in the market for “popular gas” (butane), thanks to the distribution of 3 or 6
kg containers: the competition between 6 kg and 3 kg portable cookstoves is quite vibrant in
certain West African countries (Senegal, Mali), which is beneficial to the consumer since it provides ‘
- an array of diversified products. The new company could strengthen market growth by making it
easier for middle-income households to purchase bottles (cross mechanism of the type adopted
initially by Sodigaz, amortizing part of the price of a bottle over the sales of gas), and by
researching and promoting adapted cookstoves. Possibilities include some one or two burner
portable cookstoves such as those d” ributed in several African countries (Sahelian countries,
Cameroun) or some models manufactured in the Dominican Republic.
3.69 Two options should be considered for importing gas to meet growing demand as the
gas market develops:
(a) re-exportation from the Dominican Republic,
(b) creation of a new gas terminal (or enlarging the existing terminal).
3.70 Under the first option, an agreement should be reached with the Dominican
(security of supply) ought to be considered, on the condition that the future transfer price of gas
[page 71]
- 56 -
supplied by the Dominican Republic reflects its economic cost. The Dominican Republic has a
considerable storage capacity available to it, equivalent to more than five months of internal
consumption, The Dominican Republic already plans to re expart LPG to other countries in the
Caribbean in order to make its new terminal and storage center at Azua, located 150 km south east
of Santo Domingo, profitable.
3.71 The Azua terminal is relatively close to Haïti (300 km from Port-au-Prince, with
road transport costs about $500 by truck). It was deliberately located to capitalize on potential
supply routes along the nearby north-south axis of the border. The comparatively limited needs of
Haitian cities make this center a viable alternative, at least for the first years of gas promotion in
Haiti Transport from Azua would cost approximately $0.2 per gallon; thus gas arriving at
Port-au-Prince from this source would cost less than the current CIF price based on sea transport
(62 cents per gallon). |
3.72 The other possibility is to construct an autonomous gas receiving terminal in Haiti
(docking, storage and bottling facilities); this would represent an investment of about US$ 4 to 5
million. This option has several advantages, the most important being security of supply. In fact,
the current importer, Shell-Haiti, already has a project of this type planned for the medium-term.
It would be preferable to implement the project in an open competition framework:
(a) whether by setting up a competing importing and distribution company which would
: own and operate the installations,
(b) or by separating imports from distribution through installation of a proper receiving
and storage infrastructure to be used by various distribution companies (including
tbe current importer, if it is so inclined).
3.73 Under current cireumstances, the Hsitian government must not involve itself in the
direct importation or distribution of petroleum products. All new schemes thus must depend largely
on the private sector. This supposes a mobilization of new partners in Haiti’s gas sector. Different
options ought to be explored:
(a) At the Haitian level, various entrepreneurs (either Haitian or foreign parties
conducting business in the country — priority could be given to petroleum companies
which already have operations in Haiti) could be interested in this type of set-up.
(b) At the international level, it may be possible to interest some large multinational
‘ petroleum companies who operate in the Caribbean, but who have not yet
approached the Haitians.
(c) Itis also possible to explore certain possibilities of regional cooperation: agreement
with Trintoc (Trinidad and Tobago) or, in a framework comparable to the San José
agreement, with Mexico or Venezuela.

3.74 Should creation of & new terminal be preferred, the investments required would be
quite substantial. It may prove difficult to attract the necessary Haitian and foreign investors.
During its preliminary research in 1988 and 1989, the BAPP had experience of this phenomenon:
the country's situation provides disincentives to foreign investment. Although some international
companies are interested in Hait?s gas market, they prudently are waiting for the situation to
improve. In this case the State itself could be justified -- for external reasons (strong environmental
justification) -- to participate in the initiative for this infrastructure, This can work from the level
of a simple guarantee, or could include Government participation in a minority share of the
investment. It is likely in this case that the Government’s share would require the support of an
guarantee the operation.
3.75 In all situations, the State should endeavor to recapture tighter control over the
conditions of gas importation and distribution, and notably over prices. It should also reinstitute
a tax on gas, in order to finance the public effort in that domain: supervision of the sector and
possible investments. Given the possibilities of reducing the existing margins, that small tax would
not become a hindrance to the development of a gas market. Finally, the State should pay special
attention to limit the environment impact of gas storage and distribution infrastructure, particularly
concerning safety aspects through adequate norms and regulations, Similar safety concerns should
exist at the level of consumers, to which education campaigns should be addressed by the State to
ensure safe and efficient use of gas stoves.
Energy Conservation
- 3.76 Improved stoves programs must advance from the experimental, “minimalist” stage
to a stage of large-scale distribution throughout the estimated markets in Port-au-Prince and the
other main cities of Haiti Private parties already operating in the sector (manufacturers,
merchants, NGOs) could be drafted for implementing these distribution programs. It also is
necessary that initiatives for product development and promotion be organized and coordinated.
The BME should be responsible for organizational and coordinating functions, with regard to:
(a) product research and development,
(b) quality control and standards, |
(c) coordination of activities for local promotion.
3.77 The stove developed by the BME or its existing variations in various workshops
(AFVP, BIT) is undeniably a very good product with wide acceptance. It would be quite easy to
organize distribution of the product among domestic consumers and, in its larger version, among
the manjé kwit (small restaurants along the side of the road) within a relatively short period of
[page 73]
: #8.
time. The analysis of market potential for stoves and fuels shows however that another category
of equipment should be considered: the potaje stoves. Given the current and future market for
these stoves (currently 30% of households, 10 to 15% there after, according to the market study),
an improved model of the potaje stove should be developed for distribution to the small fraction
of middle-high income households reluctant to switch fuels. Arbitrage on the use of recovered
versus new material for stove manufacture should be left to the stove makers, who will reflect
market signals (relative costs of materials and consumers’ demand according to their preferences).
3.78 Some traditional stoves seemingly are more efficient than average, such as the
*capois" stove of Cap Haitien, and they should be tested. Also, various institutional and private
initiatives for perfecting and distributing improved stove models have been undertaken (REDI,
MARNDR, etc.). These initiatives should be channeled together by defining a testing and standards
. procedure for the various existing models or those which recently have been developed,
3.79 With regard to the producers training and field promotion, a network of local
participants should be developed gradually with the support of the NGOs operating in the cities
and neighborhoods where stoves would be distributed. A decentralized effort of this type should
be coordinated by a single institution, possibly the BME. Training of :raftsmen, promotion and
information campaigns, and follow-up/evaluation should be designed and implemented by one or
several NGOs which are competent in these areas.
Least-Promising Short Term Onti
3.80 Various alternatives have been discarded as they do not present favorable
possibilities for addressing the current problems. They include: (i) use of lignite; (ii) use of
agricultural, agro-industrial or urban wastes; and (iii) importation of charcoal or coal.
3.81 Haiti possesses severai lignite deposits. The most well known, the Maissade deposit,
has proven recoverable reserves of about 6.4 million tons. Other deposits have been identified in
the Asile and Camp Perrin. À 1986 study (Stevenson) showed that exploitation of this lignite could
be economically competitive with charcoal. However, the lignite is of relatively low quality: high
humidity, high sulfur and high ash content — thus rendering it unacceptable as a charcoal substitute
for residential use as well as unusable in existing charcoal stoves. It could be used in industries, and
a study to examine this possibility is planned under the guidance of the UNDP.
3.82 Similarky, the use of agricultural or agro-industrial wastes (as briquettes) also does
not present a viable alternative for the residential sector. Main reasons for this are problems of
acceptability among consumers and the lack of financial profitability. By contrast, there are some
possibilities for using this fuel source in small industries, although experiments conducted in 1987
[page 74]
. 59 -
for the use of sugar cane bagasse by dry-cleaning establishments were inconclusive. This theme thus
remains largely in the experimental stage. Haitian specialists have suggested to consider the use
of gas produced from household urban waste in dumps organized following specific methods; on
technical grounds, this producer gas could be cleaned, compressed and commercialized to be used
for cooking purposes as the butane. Some experiences exist on this technology (in particular in
Chile); these seem to indicate the lack of financial viability of such an operation in comparison with
the use of butane gas, due to the high costs of dump management and producer gas processing.
3.83 Finally, is possible to compare the current prices of charcoal with that of imported
Charcoal. Various price juotations (Plouvier, 1985, Projet Forestier 1989) place the wholesale price
of imported charcoal from around US$8 per 38 kg bag (imported from Mexico), to US$10 per bag
{imported in bulk from Surinam and put into bags in Haïti) and US$16/bag (imported from Brazil).
Hence the retail sales price per bag would vary between 70 and 100 Gourdes, considerably higher
than current prices. Importation of charcoal thus cannot be considered a viable alternative. It is
not competitive with the various potential alternatives and it has none of the advantages but many
of the disadvantages of the substitution option: lack of security of supply, aggravation of the
balance of payment deficits. It can also present environmental risks for the producer countries.
Importation of high quality coal, allowing its use as a cooking fuel, has also been examined. The
Colombian export coal is a favorable case (low sulphur content, low humidity content, calorific value
similar to charcoal): with a FOB price of about US$55/ton, retail price in Port-au-Prince could
reach around Gourdes 780/ton (transport cost of US$15/ton; 60% margin for unloading, storage
and distribution; US Dollar valued at 7 gourdes), which is about 25% cheaper than charcoal.
However this option entails the same economic and political disadvantages as imported charcoal
and it would probably face acceptance problems from the consumers, who, in addition, should buy
new more expensive stoves for safety reasons (a chimney is necessary for CO evacuation); therefore
coal importation is not a real option.
Secondary Options
3.84 Three topics for action could have been included among the strategy components.
However, due to the limited size of the possible interventions and their foreseeable impacts, these
options have finally not been considered as components of the strategy. The three topics are: (i)
decreasing wood consumption, through its conservation, in rural areas; (ii) kerosene promotion in
urban areas; and (iii) substitution of wood and charcoal in small industries.
3.85 Consumption of wood in rural areas represents most of Haïtis wood consumption,
and thus could prove to be an important point of action for the householf energy strategy.
However two factors limit interest for an intervention in this domain:
(a the real deforestation impacts of firewood consumption are still not certain: wood
wastes frequently are generated by clearing the land and by pruning, practices which
cannot be disassociated from agricultural practices;
[page 75]
60 -
(b) promotion of improved stoves in rural areas, even those initiated by very active
promoters, generally have had very limited impacts and the results have been very
disappointing with regard to the means employed, due to the characteristics of wood
use in rural areas: non-monetarized wood collected for self-consumption.
3.86 The kerosene market in Haïti seems to be relatively small, especially if gas prices
are reduced. Its use should be promoted as one of the alternatives, less important than gas but
nonetheless valid, to charcoal. However, given the scantness of its the market, the private sector
should be left to initiate promotion of this fuel. Further recommendations are:
(a) that in the course of actions to promote substitution at national level, the
‘ Government advance kerosene as one vf the alternatives to charcoal;
(b) that the BME test the different models available on the market or those distributed
in other countries (Colombia and Peru, for example);
(©) that the BME make itself known to Haïti Métal and other possible importers of
kerosene stove models as a source of policy and technical assistance, and that it
refer them to foreign manufacturers.
3.87 Substitution of wood and charcoal by petroleum products (kerosene, diesel or fuel
oil) or by biomass-based fuels (for instance biogas producéd from molasses in the guildives 11/ in
small urban- or rural-based industries has not been included among the priority topics for the
(a) ovérall consumption by these industries only represents about 5% of the total
consumption of wood-based fuels (firewood, charcoal) in Haïti;
(b) this substitution does not appear to be profitable in a number of cases: especially
the economic conditions of substituting diesel in the guildives are not met (See
Annex X). .
(c) the most dynamic of these companies, those which can afford to make investments
(bakeries, dry-cleaners, oil factories) have already switched to other fuels;
(d) in the context of Haïtÿs current economic conditions, the other companies’
willingness and ability to invest is less certain: the oil-manufacturing sector, for
instance, has been in the midst of a structural crisis for several years;
A/ The MARNDR is currently implementing a demonstration project on this technology.
[page 76]
-61-
._ (e) finally, actions taken for the residential sector, mainly those which favor the lowering
of gas prices, should have a secondarÿ positive impact on small enterprises
(restaurants, for example).
3.88 BME should make itself known to the companies so that it can be consulted by those
who wish to renovate their infrastructure; BME could provide advise, suppliers’ referrals and, when
possible, prefeasibility studies of substituting other fuels for wood.

IV. STRATEGY COMPONENTS
4.1 The proposed Strategy is centered on three priority components designed according
to the principle objectives outlined in the preceding chapter and taking into account the problems
and constraints found in the sector. Less urgent actions and those with limited impacts have been
omitted. The three strategy components are: ‘
(a) opening the gas market,
(b) charcoal conservation,
(c) moderniing the charcoal sector.
42 Besides, a fourth priority component targets the coherence of actions undertaken
as part of the strategy:
(a) strategy monitoring
43 The above listing of the strategy’s components do not imply priority ranking. Indeed,
as pointed out in Chapter 3, implementing the four recommended components concomitantiy and
in a coordinated way is necessary to reach the main objectives of the Strategy, ie. to curb down
Charcoal consumption and to increase the sustainability of charcoal production. Moreover, if the
components had to be ranked, the result would obviously depend on the criteria chosen to compare
the components. For instance, if easiness of implementation was the main criterion, the charcoal
conservation component would rank first; however, if impact on charcoal consumption is the
priority, then opening the gas market ranks first, while if the issue is to achieve sustainable charcoal
production in the medium term, modernizing the charcoal sector becomes the main component.
In anÿ case, the component for policy formulation and strategy coordination is necessary to the
success of each one of the three other components.
44 The outcomes expected from implementation of the strategy’s three components are
summarized in Figure 4.1. Details are provided in Annex IX. The strategy will be implemented
over a three year period (1992-1994), but evaluation of the costs and benefits of project outcomes
will extend over ten years (1992-2001). The latter corresponds more closely with the typical energy
sector planning horizon. Projections of fuel consumption and market penetration rates for
improved appliances or for substitution fuels are compared for two scenarios: implementation of
[page 78]
-63-
the strategy versus no change in relation to the consumption patterns in 1990 (percentage of users
and unit of consumption for each fuel). 12/
45 The main outcomes of the Strategy will be to: (i) curb down the rapid increase of
charcoal consumption and stabilize charcoal consumption; and (ii) to gradually transform - for the
larger possible share - the remaining charcoal production into a sustainable, financially profitable
(a) _ gradual reduction of charcoal consumption in Port-au-Prince and in main cities (and
thus reduction of the pressure on national forest resources) of 13% (relative to 1991
consumption) by the year 2000, and of 45% relative to the consumption projected
for 2001 assuming no changes. Annual charcoal consumption would stabilize at
around 200,000 tons in 2001, assuming that new households (population growth)
would all use LPG. This reduction of charcoal consumption will be induced by
- dissemination of improved stoves and substitution by gas with the following expected
results:
(i) gradual increase in the proportion of urban consumers using gas as the
primery fuel; the objective is 35% of Port-au-Prince households in 1996 and
50% in 2001. In other cities, the objective figures are 10% and 20%
respectively. This would induce gas consumption to rise from the current
7,000 tons per annum to 23,000 tons in 1996 and 41,000 tons in 2001;
(ï) annual sales of butane portable stoves and gas cookers should reach 35,000
and 10,000 units respectively by 2001; more than 90% of the sales are
expected in Port-au-Prince;
(ii) by the year 2001, in Port-au-Prince and the main cities, one out of every two
charcoal consumer will be using an improved stove, as well as one of every
two manjé kwit restaurant, for a total of 80,000 stoves put into use between
1992 and 1994. -
(b) improved conditions for producing charcoal and rationalization of access to forest
resc“rces in the main charcoal exploitation zones, manifested through the following
outcomes:
12/ A trend scenario with consumption patterns in the future is based on the
assumption ae comervation sad subetiruion ceiling has been reached (gas penetration

() definition and implementation of a Supply Master Plan for Port-au-Prince,
including the improvement of the fiscal system and of the control of charcoal
flows (collection rate for transport taxes rising from 10% in 1990 to 60% in
1996);
(ä) training 500 professional charcoal producers in the use of higher yield
charcoal making techniques and in simple methods of improved management.
This would cover one of every 100 charcoal makers, spread out over the main
charcoal exploitation zones and, to a lesser extent, in the zones under quotas.

46 In addition, the economic consequences of the strategy are expected to be the
following: |
[page 80]
- 65 -
(a) increase in the total cost of petroleum product imports by 12% in the year 2001, all
other things remaining equal. This represents an increase equivalent to 4% of total
country exports in 1990, which is relatively small; 13/
(b) charcoal income in the main production zones will be maintained (and under normal
circumstances will actually increase, because of efforts taken to improve the producer
price in real terms).
Opening the Gas Market
47 * Although it is the best choice for the country in both economic and financial terms,
and as the preferred -- and potentially the least expensive -- fuel among consumers, gas suffers from
a limited distribution in Haiti because of the current import and distribution system for the fuel.
The strategy component addressing the opening of the gas market has several objectives:
(a) to obtain a significant reduction in the retail prices of butane and propane, by
creating conditions of real competition in the supply of gas or by regulating the
existing monopoly; and
(b) to facilitate access to gas usage and the acquisition of gas equipment for the lower
income classes (middle class, upper levels of the poorer households) to induce its
use as a primary cooking fuel.
48 The Haitian institution responsible for developing this project component should be
the Division for Petroleum Product Supply (BAPP) within the Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
in association with the BME. Within the framework of the strategy, the BAPP should:
(a) coordinate work on a preliminary study of the different potential options for
importing and distributing gas, in association or in competition with the existing
importer and distributors, including necessary reform of the existing legal and
regulatory framework. (see the detailed terms of reference in Annex XT),
(b) propose the most favorable option(s) to the Government, then monitor and control :
proper implementation of the option adopted,
13/ These numbers are only indicative since the value of exports and the cost of imported
petroleum products can fluctuate widely. In the case of oil price, despite some unpredictable
and large variations, there seems to be a long-term trend for an annual increase of 2 to 3
% in real terms. This assumption leads to an average CIF price of about US$250/ton for
LPG on the 1992-2001 period (also accounting for the decreasing cost of transport, which
is linked to increasing volumes of gas used).
[page 81]
-66-
(c) propose adjustments needed for contracts, regulatory legislation, and fiscal policy
which conform to the adopted option and more generally, to the other components
of the strategy.
49 The technical options for opening the gas market which should be analyzed are
detailed in the preceding chapter. They are the following:
(a) importing gas from the Dominican Republic, 14/
(b) creating a marine terminal and an autonomous storage and filling center, ;
(c) enlargement of existing receiving, storage and filling infrastructure.
For each potential option (alone or combined), the various possibilities of partnerships with private
or institutional operators, foreign or national, should be examined, along with the legal, regulatory
and fiscal consequences associated with the option(s).
| 4.10 The component to open the gas market specifically includes the following activities:
(a) financing for a study of the different potential options,
(b) support to the BAPP 50 that the institution participates directly in the analyses and
missions, and so that afterwards it has the ability to carry out its regulatory function
in the subsector.
(©) the estimated total for engineering studies and investments.
4.11 The estimated costs of the component conservatively take into account the most
expensive option -- implementation of an autonomous gas terminal, including filling center. The
investment hypotheses are sufficient for meeting increasing butane and propane demand up to 1996.
They are:
(a) a gas terminal, equipped with two pumps and two gas pipelines (vapor 3°, liquid: 6")
of approximately 2 kms,
14/ Analysing this option should include the careful evaluation of associated risks of variation
in the economic and contracting conditions of gas supply from the Dominican Republic. .
[page 82]

(b) main storage capacity of 1500 tons, 15/ divided into five pressurized tanks with 300
ton capacity, with a fire prevention safety system (water tank and pumps),
(c) a filling system (with fire prevention safety dry system) equipped with eight balances
with a maximum capacity equivalent to 60 tons/day (in two 8-hour cycles), capable
of filling 3/6 kg and 12.5 kg containers, 16/
(d) an inventory of 230,000 3-kg containers (or 115,000 6-kg containers) and 100,000
. 12.5-kg containers. 17/
412 - The total budget for this component is estimated at US$ 7.6 million (see Table 4.1
and Annex XIV). This total includes US$ 7.2 million ih capital investments (all or a large part from
private sources) and budgetary support for the BAPP of US$ 370,000, including the study of gas
development options.
Charcoal Conservation
413 Objectives. Even under optimistic hypotheses for substitution by other fuels, a
considerable proportion of households - an estimated one of every two households on average in
Haitis major cities -- will continue to use charcoal.. Distribution of improved charcoal stoves is thus
an important component of the strategy. This component has two main thrusts:
(a) large-scale distribriion of round improved stoves (BME model) to approximately
20% of the households in Port-au-Prince by the year 2001. This amounts to a total
. of 45,000 stoves in distribution in the capital by the third year after the component
is launched, 15,000 stoves in the other main cities (20% of all households), and 7,000
stoves to the manje kwit restaurants in all main cities, for a total distribution of
67,000 stoves during the first three years.
. 15/ orage oqpivalent to about one month of gas consumption in 1996 (including existing
storage -
16/ About 30 tons per day for each type of container.

[page 83]
.6- |
(b) development of an improved potaje stove, and distribution of 16,000 units throughout
the capital and other main cities by the end of three years.
4.14 This represents an overall charcoal savings of nearly 15,000 tons in 1994, or about
8% of total charcoal consumption in Haitis main urban centers.
4.15 Action Priorities. In order to be successful, ‘istribution of improved stoves must
take place in the context of several coordinated activities:
(a) technical and marketing work for developing and testing stove models so that the
. recommended models are both fuel efficient and adapted to consumer needs. One
or more improved models of the potaje stove should be among those developed;
‘ {b) _astudy to review conditions for manufacturing (craftsmen, availability of sheet metal,
"etc. ), marketing and promotiag th: two cookstove models in the main cities other
than Port-au-Prince;
(c) training for traditional stove makers and iron masons to manufacture improved
stoves according to adopted standards of performance and quality;
(d) making use of current traditional production networks for manufacturing improved
stoves: rechauliers for the round stoves, iron-masons for making potaje stoves, with
materials in use (recovered sheet metal, and subsequently new sheet metal probably);
(e) making use of existing distribution networks for marketing the stoves: sales by
producers or by small intermediaries under normal conditions for retail sales
{without Government intervention on prices or margins);
(fj a sustained publicity campaign, using different media outlets: especially radio, but
also television stations and the printed press;
(g) promotion activities in the field, makirs use of communication means of local
(h) follow-up and evaluation of the results of the distribution program; and,
() effective coordination between the different local organizations involved in:
| promotion.
4.16 Institutional Framework. The best institutional set-up consists of bringing together
the main actors already active in the area of improved stove 1, and to assign to them responsibilities
in the areas where they are the strongest:
[page 84]
- 69 -
(a) the BME for general supervision and coordination of the program through its
Steering Unit (see para. 4.31-4.35), and more particularly for the technical aspects
of research and development for the stoves; and
(b) one or more NGOs for the following aspects: training craftsmen, publicity and
promotion, follow-up and evaluation in the field.
4.17 Components. The improved stove distribution program contains four components.
The first, product design and quality control, will be carried out by the BME. The main activities
of the component will be to develop stove models (especially an improved potaje), technical testing
of proposed models, and quality control for cookstoves under distribution. The BME will receive
short-term technical assistance for product development (foreign assistance) and consumer trials
(local assistance) and will work in collaboration with one or more local craftsmen for the design and
manufacture of the improved stove models. The BME will be furnished with necessary testing
equipment (test banks) and its operating means will be strengthened. The main program
administrators also will be expected to make study tours to gain from the experiences with improved
stove programs in other countries.
4.18 The second component is a training component for craftsmen. The distribution
objectives are based on training of 100 rechauliers (70 in Port-au-Prince and 30 in other cities)
and 50 iron-masons (35 in Port-au-Prince and 15 in the other main cities -- Cap Haitien, Gonaïves,
Les Cayes and St Marc. Several main areas will be covered in the training: improved
manufacturing techniques, use of recovered or new sheet metal (with templates), parameters which
affect the efficiency and durability of the stoves, benefits of using improved stoves, marketing
. techniques, etc.
4.19 ” The third component includes (i) organizing publicity campaigns through iocal and
national media and (ii) field promotion for the stoves. The general design, organization and
implement: on of publicity campaigns will be the responsibility of Haitian public relations
professionals. Campaigns will emphasize the advantages of improved stoves over traditional
portable cookstoves, both from the consumer standpoint (charcoal savings, rapid and better
controlled cooking, more durable appliance) and from the standpoint of the nation (reduced
environmental degradation). Field promotion of the stoves is an important element for the success
of the distribution program, as has been demonstrated by several recent (and successful) stoves
: projects, notably in Kenya (Jiko stove), in Niger and in Mali (Mai Sauki stove) or in Rwanda
(Rondereza stove). Promotion techniques will include neighborhood exhibitions, contests and
games, "moving" publicity (pick-up trucks with loud speakers) and standard "stationary” publicity
(posters, stickers, T-shirts, etc.) Proper and efficient techniques for using the stoves will be
explained and demonstrated, as well as energy-saving techniques for cooking (soaking grains, use
of aluminum pots and lids, new recipes, etc.) The field promotion, encompassing Haïtiÿs main
cities, will have three poles -- Port-au-Prince, the north (Gonaïves, Cap Haïtien and St Marc) and
[page 85]
-7-
the south (Les Cayes). Groups of promoters will be assigned to each of the cities (four in Port-
au-Prince and one in each of the other four cities). Educational and promotional documents will
be developed with short terin local technical assistance. To the extent possible, the coordinating |
NGO will make use of local groups for organizing the actual stove distribution.
4.20 The fourth component, program follow-up and evaluation, will be carried out by an
NGO in tight coordination with the BME. It will comprise several points: a survey of improved
stove users six months after the start of the distribution program (charcoal consumption, level of
consumer satisfaction, correct use of the stoves, use of other recommended methods for improving
cooking efficiency); regular and selective quality control for stoves manufactured by craftsmen (by
a qualified inspector); evaluation of the manufacture and marketing of stoves (quantities produced,
prices and margins, distribution network); evaluation of actual savings generated for charcoal
(survey of a representative sample of consumers halfway through and at the end of the program,
in 1994).
421 ‘The total budget for the improved stoves distribution program amounts to US$
825,000; the breakdown of this total is indicated in Table 4.1 (see detailed annual budget and
schedule of activities in Annex XIV). This program will be included in the Forest and
‘ Environmental Protection Project (as the Household Energy Conservation component, with an
additional budget of US$68,000 for implementation supervision), to be financed mainly by IDA.
Implementation of the FEPP is scheduled for the beginning of 1992.
Modernizing the CI LS
42 The primary objective of the third component of the strategy, modernization of the
Charcoal sector, is to reorganize ard rationalize charcoal exploitation. This component targets the
geographic reorientation of charcoal offtake and the improvement of charcoal exploitation
techniques to reduce environmental risks, while designing and implementing the component in
collaboration and agreement with local population. Activitie= carried out as part of this component
also should strengthen the Haitian Government’s ability to better control charcoal transport,
especially towards the capital, so that collection of associated taxes on the transport and marketing
of charcosl proves more effective. Modernization of the charcoal sector consists of two sub-
components:
(8) preparation of a Supply Master Plan for Port-au-Prince, and
(b) implementation of a technical assistance program for charcoal producers.
[page 86]
-71- |
423 The Supply Master Plan for Port-au-Prince targets the geographic reorientation of
the wood offtake used to produce charcoal consumed in the capitäl. The Master Plan will be based
on field visits as well as existing resource mappings and those that will be prepared (fragmentary
existing data, preliminary results of the resource inventory planned as part of the FEPP) and
existing data on wood offtake (studÿ results, specific complementary surveys). The Plan will
highlight two types of zones which will receive priority during strategy implementation:
(a) preferential zones, where it would be better to locate wood offtake (among those
whcre charcoal exploitation already takes place), and the approximate annual offtake
which would be permissible;
(b) zones where the current rhythm of charcoal exploitation presents present or future
environmental threats, which will be placed under observation and protection, with
the cooperation of and under the responsibility of local populations and villages.
424 The Master Plan then must give conditions for redirecting wood offtake:
(a) by establishing maps on which the principal parameters which determine the
conditions for charcoal exploitation are quantified: price of standing wood, land
tenure patterns (public and private domain) and parcelling of land, socio-economic
profile of farmers/charcoal producers, main economic activities and impact of
charcoal production in the rural economy;
(6) by analyzing the exploitation conditions in priority zones and the mechanisms by
which supply networks can be reorganized within the framework of existing rural
development programs; .
(c) by defining a possible program for compensating charcoal producers in the zones
affected by quotas.
425 With regard to regulating charcoal production and supply, the Master Plan should
establish the modalities to:
(8) define and implement a simple and flexible mechanism for determining transport
quotas for charcoal originating from each region, and allow for quota negotiations
between the State, the local authorities and charcoal sector professionals;
(b) define and implement mechanisms for enforcing the geographic reassignment of
wood offtake by strengthening control of charcoal transport by both land and sea:
in Port-au-Prince, establish more highway control posts (to control the quantities of
[page 87]
Charcoal originating from the central plateau and from the south) and more control
of the waterways (Cité Soleil wharf); improve the existing operating conditions at
control posts in the capital, especially for sea transport (Lamantin, Mariani,
Martissant); relocate several highway control posts (around Port-au-Prince and Cap
Haïtien).
(©) implement mechaniems for monitoring the effectiveness of the control systems and
(d) identify the principal parameters related to taxation on a regional basis in order to
properly orient exploitation towards specific zones, and propose appropriate fiscal
arrangements.
42% During the second phase of the Master Plan, a program of priority actions will be
prepared for compensating losses due to the restrictions on charcoal exploitation in areas affected
by the quotas. In each affected district, a united effort to identify actions specific to the local)
situation will form the foundation of this program. Local administrators and technicians will take
the lead in defining the action program, with assistance from a specially recruited multidisciplinary
team consisting of two rural sociologists and two agronomists (at least one with forestry experience
and one rural engineer). Local priorities will be defined for each district, with the cooperation of
| local authorities and populations, and the resulting proposals will be consolidated into a priority
action program to complement or -trengthen existing rural development programs in these areas.
Steps then will be taken to mobilize additional funds needed to implement the recommended
actions.
427 Finally, the Master Plan could provide the geographic skeleton for a comprehensive
action program for woodfuel supply (assistance to professionals, forestry management, agroforestry),
‘ and especially in the framework of the strategy, allow local priorities for support to charcoal
producers to be determined. | |
428 The subcomponent for technical assistance to charcoal producers has two basic
objectives:
(a) to improve the conditions of charcoal exploitation by more selective exploitation of
available resources, to promote the use of the best techniques for cutting and
carbonization and to improve the charcoal makers’ management and organization
of their business;
(b) to complete the knowledge of forestry technicians employed by the MARNDR
concerning the constraints and potential actions within the charcoal sector, and to
[page 88]
-73-
thus assure complementarity between planning functions (Master Plan) and field
- actions.
429 A mobile intervention team should be established as part of an NGO based in close
proximity to the zones in question (probably in the Artibonite or the North Peninsula) to carry out
the proposed assistance program. The team should consist of a forester, a training administrator
and 10 field trainers, divided into two carbonization teams. The tasks of the mobile intervention
team, which will receive short-term technical assistance from experts in artisanal carbonization, will
be:
(a) in the first phase, to identify and evaluate the production methods in use in the
zones concerned, the problems affecting charcoal producers (especially vzith regard
to access to wood), environmental problems caused by iocal charcoal exploitation and
possible solutions;
() to organize hands-on training sessions in charcoal-making techniques in production
workshops. These sessions can be offered on a regular, systematic basis in priority
zones, district by district, or they can be organized on the request of rural
development organizations (NGOSs, Projects);
‘ (©) to gradually assist the organization of some of the charcoal makers into professional
groups by helping them to acquire simple management techniques and tools essential
for their vocation.
430 The component to modernize the charcoal sector should be implemented by a
specialized temporary unit, the Woodfuels Unit (Cellule Combustitles Ligneux - CCL), to be
established within the Natural Resources Department of the MARNDR. The CCL will be provided
with support from outside consultants, Haitian experts (sociologists, survey experts, charcoal
makers) and by NGOs working in the field. The staff of the CCL, to be recruited for the Project
(a) one Unit Chief, a forest exploitation expert,
(b) a technical team composed of a forestry inventory expert, a sociologist, an agro-
economist and a-cartographer,
(c) one administrative assistant, one secretary and three drivers.
431 The CCL vwill be responsible for preparing the Master Plan and for improving the
control and monitoring of charcoal supply, as well as for preparing the priority action program.
It will supervise implementation of the program of assistance to charcoal producers which will be
implemented by a NGO. The CCL also will ensure that its activities are closely coordinated with

medium term (used in part to fund the national forestry fund) this activity
will be coordinated with, or could be replaced by the study of woodfuel
taxation and control which is planned in the proposed Forestry and
Environment Protection Project; and
(ä) _ implement a low level gas tax — a level which does not adversely affect efforts
to lower the price of this fuel in order to promote its use in urban Haitian
households, The tax will facilitate the State’s involvement in new investments
for the gas subsector. The financial analysis of the Project arrived at a
minimum value of 5 US cents, assuming that the State’s share of investments
in gas importation and distribution is only 20%.
(d) establish close coordination with ongoing projects which are related to certain
strategy components (for example, the Forestry and Envirc:.“ental Protection
Project, the AOP Project, and the Energy Sector Strengthening Project). |
435 The SU could be set up within the BME or, if applicable, at a more adequate and
influential location in the new institutional structure that will arise from institutional restructuring
by the new Government. SU's staff, to be recruited for the project’s duration, will consist of:
(a) an energy economist, Unit Chief, with at least five years experience in the various
aspects of Haitian energy policy,
(b) an expert in computerized data analysis,
(c) one administrative assistant, one secretary and one driver.
43% In addition, the following specialized assistance will be provided for the SU:
(a) one technical adviser for a three year period,
(b) assistance from Haitian and international experts in the following areas: survey
organization and implementation, computer assistance, rural and urban socio-
economic analyses, fiscal and legal aspects,
437 This component will be carried out over a three year period. The total budget
amounts to US$ 768,000 (see Table 4.1 and detailed budget in Annex XIV). A recurrent annual
budget of US$S50,000 between 1995 and 1997 is planned for staff and operational costs of the SU,
which wik thereafter be taken over by the host institution as part of its regular budget.

Economic Aspects
Strategy Costs
438 The summarized costs for the four strategy components are presented in Table 4.1;
detailed annual budgets are given in Annex XIV. The total cost of the strategy is US$ 10.5 million
over the three year period 1992-1994; three-fourths in foreign exchange and slightly less than 70%
for the gas component alone 18/. Modernization of the charcoal sector represents 13% of total
costs, and costs of the charcoal conservation and strategy monitoring components respectively
represent 8% and 7% of the total. Estimated annual recurrent costs begin in 1995 at US$ 200,000
and decrease to US$50,000 by 2001; these costs concern mainly the component to modernize the
charcoal sector and to a lesser extent the Strategy's monitoring component which are to be
implemented over a longer period than the other components of the strategy. A small amount of
additional funds will be required to assist the Government of Haiti in supervising the
implementation of the strategy's components; the exact amount of these funds and the procedures
for co-supervision will depend on the practices of the bilateral/multilateral donors involved in the
strategy's financing and should be defined later with these donors. .
It should-be noted that the State’s participation in these investments for developing the

439 The simplified economic and financial analysis for the strategy is summarized in
Table 4.2 and 43. Economic benefits of the strategy’s implementation which are accounted for in
this simplified analysis come mainly from the value of charcoal that is saved through the programs
of LPG substitution and improved stoves dissemination. Implementing the modernization of the
charcoal sector will transform part of charcoal production into an environment-benign activity in
certain zones of production and limit the impact of this activity in other zones, which are indeed
the potentially larger benefits of the strategy. However, it is clear that the extend of these benefits
will depend on the Government interventions on the other causes of environment degradation in
Haiti (in the framework of a global strategy for natural resources management) as well as an
efficiency of the strategy's quota system; therefore these benefits are difficult to quantify and have
not been considered in the simplified economic analysis cf this study. Also the costs and benefits
of the compensation program for areas affected by quotas, to be defined later and to be
implemented through mechanisms beyond the scope of the proposed strategy, cannot be accurately
estimated at this stage, and thus have been excluded from the analysis.

4.40 The strategy's impact on public finances can be evaluated through the financial
analysis; the financial internal rate of return (IRR) is calculated at 10%. The analysis is based on
the following assumptions:
() _ improved collection of charcoal taxes amounting to a collection rate of 60% of the
total due in 1996 (ie. six times the collection rate in 1990) and the same rate
thereafter; the MARNDR'Ss ongoing efforts to improve tax collection rates should
help make it possible to achieve this objective; the analysis also takes into account
. the loss of charcoal taxes that would have been recovered in absence of the strategy |
(with a higher total charcoal consumption),
(b) a tax on gas beginning in 1992 of 5 cents per gallon, equivalent to only 3% of the
1990 retail price.

441 The economie analysis shows the strategys impacts on the national economy,
especially those related te the balance of payments and reducing environmental destruction. The
economic IRR was calculated at 40%, based on the following assumptions:
[page 94]
-79-
(a) The economic value of the wood saved by implementation of the strategy 19/ is
estimated at US$160/ton of saved charcoal, equivalent to its economic value for
environmental impacts (see Annex XII);
(b) reduction of gas transport costs relative to costs for the volumes which would have
been sold if nn strategy were implemented is estimated at US$ 100 per ton on
average for the period 1994-2001;
. (c) additional gas imports would cost in average US$250 per ton over the 1991-2001
period, and imports of gas cooking appliances would cost an average of US$150 for
- each new gas-using household for the period 1992-2001.

Risks
442 Risks linked to strategy implementation were evidenced in the previous chapterss
they relate to several aspects: technical, social, economic, financial and institutional. However,
these risks are quite limited relative to the environmental risk associated with not implementing
this strategy. In addition, the financing required for the strategy is relatively small, and
implementing the strategy in phases and under monitoring of the Steering Unit will allow necessary
adjustments to be made, if needed.
- _ 49/ Without taking into account wood savings generated by the proposed assistance program
for charcoal producers. In fact, since the program only affects a limited number of charcoal
are uncertain, wood savings from this program will be much smaller than the savings
generated by use of improved stoves.
[page 95]
- 80 -
443 In technical areas, risks are associated with market penetration rates for LPG and
improved charcoal stoves; target rates for the strategy may be over optimistic. However, the market
study has yielded fairly reliable projections; also, the impacts of lower penetration rates on the
economic and financial viability of the strategy are limited. For example, if gas were used as the
primary cooking fuel in only 35% of the households in the capital, and 15% in other cities, the
financial rate of return would decrease by only 1.5% (in absolute terms) and the economic rate of
return by 1%. The impacts due to lower distribution rates for stoves are even less. Furthermore,
negative technical impacts ccald easily be counterbalanced by appropriate taxing policies applied
to the gas price. For.example, a collection rate for charcoal taxes amounting only to 30% at the |
end of five years (instead of the 60% rate targeted by the strategy) can be balanced by a gas tax
increase of 1.2 US cents per gallon; this represents an increase of less than 1% relative to the retail
price.
4,44 In the area of social and human risks, the most substantial impacts will be those
generated by restricting charcoal exploitation in zones affected by quotas or prohibitions. The
producers and transporters in these zones will initially attempt -- certainly not without success —
to circumvent the quota system. However, dialogue with local authorities, gradual increases in
effective enforcement of quotas and priority actions programs for compensation should limit these
risks in the medium term.
445 On the economic level, there are certain risks surrounding the evolution of
international LPG prices, as well as the economic value of charcoal in terms of its impact on the
environment. With regard to the latter, a rather conservative value was retained in the analyses;
given the various growing pressures on Haitis environment, the value will tend to increase, If the
average price of LPG during 1992-2001 is US$350 per ton (1990 dollars), instead of the estimated
US$250, the economic IRR would still be quite acceptable (23%). Finally, the impact of LPG
| imports on the balance of payments would remain limited; in 2001, LPG imports at this higher price
. would represent less than 6% of the value of exports in 1990.
4.46 Institutional risks are much higher, since they involve financial, human and political
constraints, as previously cited. However, the proposed approach for the strategy is helpful in
mitigating the risks due to the weaknesses of subsector institutions — involving consumers and
producers in the definition and implementation of the strategy, decentralizing activities and giving
specific roles to local authorities, coordination and monitoring by temporary units established
especially for the project, partial sub-contracting of implementation to organizations and
associations already operating in the field, strengthening the regulatory role of the State.
Financing ‘
4417 As discussed previously, one component of the strategy -- large-scale distribution of
improved charcoal stoves -- is included in the IDA'’s proposed Forestry and Environmental
[page 96]
-81-
Protection Project. The other components will be part of the National Energy Plan which is being
prepared by the BME with assistance from OLADE and the UNDP in the Haiti Energy Sector
Strengthening Project. The Strategy’s components should also be among the programs that will
confirm the Tropical Forest Action Plan for Haiti, which is being prepared under the supervision
of FAO and the UNDP. Considering the urgency of implementing the strategy, obtaining the |
necessary financing should be among the Government’ priorities and should be relatively easy,
given the recent increase of international assistance to Haiti The Ministry of Planning, with
possible assistance from the BME and the MARNDR, should first explore possibilities for bilateral
financing from lenders already active in Haitis energy sector, woodfuels subsector and forestry
sector, especially France, Canada, USAID and Germany. Canada, France and the European
Economic Communities (EEC) have already expressed interest in financing actions to limit the
impact of charcoal use in the environment. Finally, other resources might also be tapped at the
level of international donors, e.g. from programs supported or supervised by the World Bank, such
as the Haiti Economic and Social Fund, ESF (for instance to finance specific compe=sation
programs in areas under charcoal production quotas) or the recently created Global Environment
Facility (GEF).

HOUSEHOLD SURVEY FACTOR ANALYSIS - MAIN AXES
The factor analysis allows to identify the main factors that explain the behavior of
surveyed households. These factors can be materialized through the main axes along the area of
points that correspond to these households on the graph.
These factors could be explained by decreasing order of importance:
- Axis 1: Main factor of household behavious; this factor is linked to household
income, mainly through household expenditure capability.
- Axis 2: This factor is related to investment capacity and assets of households.
- Axis 3: This factor opposes tradition (large families, tradional housing) to
modernisation.
. Axis 4 This factor is related to household size mainly.
- Axis 5: This factor opposes the household retirement on the family nucleus and the
opening towards external urban life.
- Axis 6, 7 and 8 These factors have little significance. It is only worth mentioning
that they are related to the use of specific fuels: Charcoal (axis 6); gas (axis 7);
Kerosene (axis 8).

. . MARKET STUDY
1. Several consumer target groups were fdentified using household
surveys, interviews with groups and product demonstrations. Each group has a
separate socio-economic profile and reflects distinct attitudes. Five segments
or target groups were distinguished în this manner, as described below.
2. An analysis of the different groups' attitudes towards fuels and
stoves, and comparisons of these attitudes with their behavioral characteristics
made it possible to evaluate the market potential of different portable
. cookstoves within the respective market segments.
3. This analysis first was conducted assuming the current relative
price structure for fuels, then in a second case assuming a substantial drop in
the price of gas.
4. This group consists primarily of rich households and the most well-
off households of the middle class. They also are counted among the most
‘ educated households and those most responsive to information and commercial
advertising. . Of the total households in the capital, their relative weight can
be estimated at about 10%. They have a higher than average ownership rate for
cooking equipment, even though the utilization rate for these appliances 1s
often limited. Organization of their households is quite flexible and 1s
arranged aro*nd the constraints of the primary female in the house, who
frequently is an active woman with employment outside the household.
GROUP A : Group Current : Potential
Zxefexence Market Market

Propane Stove ‘ 50% 40% 508
Butane Cookstove 5% 19% 208 -
Electric Cookstove 18 0$ 1s
5. There are two main inçentives influencing this group's purchases:
(4) the appliance £s an fndispensable element of their social status: and (1i)
it must contribute to simpiification of household organization, in particular
the, primary female’s duties. Neither the cost nor even the appliance’s
usefulness are determining factors for this group, although in the continuing
economic crisis, these factors are more present în the minds of consumers. This
4s a group resolutely oriented towards gas (kerosene has only an ambiguous image
within this group): 40% of these households are equipped to use propane. In
addition, under the influence of the recent publicity campaigns, many have been
quick to purchase the equipment needed to use butane gas (Bip)
[page 132]
- 117 - ânnex VIII
Page 2 of 7
6. Because of the income level of this group, a drop in gas prices
should have only a limited impact. Above all, it should induce a switch from
butane to propane; among propane users, a price drop would provide incentives
for keeping larger household stocks (50 and 100 kg).
7. In this group, the determin{ing factor for purchases Îs household s1ze
as well as the family's dietary practices (number of place settings, eating out
or meals at home). Their steady income gives them a certain level of confidence
with regard to investments, but in general their behavior lacks originality and
they are not innovators. Their living standards are average, and they represent
30% of the population.

Improved Cookstove 208 3% 15% .

Propane Stove 108 9s 10%
Butane Cookstove 15$ 3% 15%
Electric Cookstove 08 1s 0%
8. With regard to stoves and fuels, the decision criteria for this group
are linked more to constraînts surrounding cooking arrangements than to the cost
of cooking. The notion of cost savings Îs important (although fuel expenditures
fall far below those for food) but no alternative appears more economic to them
than another: this currently 1s the group least likely to change fuels. Gas
£s considered only a secondary fuel and these households were a little more
influenced by the presentations of the improved charcoal stove and the kerosene
stove.
. 9. Nonetheless, a substantial drop in gas prices could strike a
sensitive chord within this group and provide the incentive for an important
consumer movement towards propane and butane. Given the characteristics of these
| consumers (they have to be solicited, they themselves don't seek opportunities)
a massive movement to gas would only be possible under scenarios {including
specifically adapted programs of credit for appliance purchases and widespread
distribution of gas. -
Group C: Average-Sized, Educated Households
10. These generally are average-sized households with limited income
(betweon $200 and $400 per month), rather young and employed in lower-level
salaried or wage-earning jobs. Their behavior is influenced substantially by
their budgetary constraints (high costs of necessities) as well as by their
desire to acquire appliances (motivated by ostentation or by desire for better
living standards). They generally have well established decision criteria and
are ready to make sacrifices to afford the equipment of their choice. These
households represent about 20% of the population.

Propane Stove 5e 108 5%
Butane Cookstove 30% 2% 30%
Electric Cookstove 5% 0% 5%
11. By nature innovative în character, the members of this group are more
likely to be interested by improved stoves and substitution, and in particular
by products which are new to them, whether 1t be kerosene or butane. This
interest 1s tempered by the fact that cooking 1s not the principal motivating
factor behind their desire for change. Both for reasons of image and
practicality, Bip is the stove best adapted to the aspirations of this group.
. Nevertheless, îts future behavior is very likely to be shaped by publicity and
information campaigns.
12. Because of their tight budgetary constraints, the consumers in this
group are very sensitive to variations in price. A drop in the price of gas
would provide the incentive for a large fraction of the consumers în this group
to switch to that fuel, to the detriment of kerosene and of improved stoves.
13. For the most part, these are average-sized households living
at the subsistence level: they represent 358 of the population in the capital.
Their income 1s very limited (between $70 and $150 per month) and their budgetary
constraînts are substantial, even though they sometimes receive assistance from
. emigrant relatives. More s0 than with other groups, they are affected by the
choîce of fuel: as 1t is an essential element of their day-to-day survival,
proportionally fuel expenditures can play as large a role in their daily budget
as food expenditures. They are not influenced very much by publicity and thus
vere not affected by recent promotion campaigns for gas. Their decision criteria
are very different from those of the rest of the population, and their purchasing
decisions often are a function of random additions to the family budget.

14. Based on their own perception of their economic situation, the
households în this group reject gas as being economically out of reach. They
also have difficulty perceiving that kerosene use could be advantageous when
faced with the multiple possibilities offered by charcoal. Thus a large majority
-- based on their present economic constraînts and fuel use patterns -- can only
see charcoal as a future fuel alternative. As a result, they mostly are
interested in improved cookstove models. Thus it 1s among this group that
improved stoves have their best market opening, although enthusiasn for the model
has been dampened somewhat by the published price for the BME model.
15. If gas prices were to fall substantially, a campaign to educate
consumers about comparing the costs of fuels could draw a limited share of these
low-income consumers (10 to 20%) to gas use. This assumes also that it will be
possible to fntroduce gas fnto the retail networks for ne{ghborhoods where these
households are located,
Group E: Modern, Progressive Households
16. This 1s a rather narrowly defined group of households (58% of the
population în the capital), very open to new ideas, Rather politicized and în
general progressive, these households are sensitive to arguments such as the
struggle against deforestation; they are influenced by western consumption modes
and with steady, large incomes, they are able to make purchases în accordance
with their views. However, they also are quite conscious of the family budget
and are not insensitive to practical arguments.

17. The households of this group have very precise expectations vis-a-
vis different fuels and stoves. In the present situation, the stove which
corresponds best to their expectations 1s the Bip butane cooker, but those who
will continue to cook with charcoal will purchase improved stoves. In general,
they are more interested by kerosene cookers than other groups, especially the
new models presented at demonstrations, primarily because of their modern
appearance and advertized high efficiency.
18. Vigllant & . :arket conditions, cney cannot help but be {nfluenced
by decreases in gas pri .. A large number are likely to “jump ship° in favor
of this fuel, 1£f only they are offered advantageous terms for purchasing
equipment (credit, especially) and bottles (cross-subsidize the initial purchase
with the fuel price).

SHORT TERM ACTIONS
RECOMMENDED SHORT TERM ACTIONS FOR THE ONGOING
UNDP/OLADE/BME ENERGY SECTOR ASSISTANCE PROJECT
1. The following short-term actions are recommended for inclusion in
the UNDP/OLADE/BME Energy Sector Assistance Project as part of project
preparation for the energy strategy for households and small businesses:
(a) measure the weighted efficiencies of charcoal kilns in newer charcoal
production zones (assistance to BME)
(b) gather and test the different charcoal stove models which have not
yet been tested: "Capois” cooker, aluminum improved stove of Michael
Williams (BME)
(c) send a mission to the Dominican Republic to analyze inexpensive gas
stoves models (BME)
(d) explore the feasibility of cooperative, regional (Latin American)
solutions for setting up an LPG import and distribution company în
Haiti to compete with the current importer: contacts should be made
with the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Venezuela and Mexico (OLADE
assistance to BAPP);
(e) quick poll în secondary cities to determine the utilization rates
and the price of cooking fuels, as well as the equipment used;
(£) analyze the possibilities and modalities for promoting improved
_ stoves in secondary towns and cities (possibly in cooperation with
AFVE). -
STUDY OF THE OPTIONS FOR LPG IMPORTS TO HAITI
Background |
1. The Republic of Haiti faces an extremely worrisome problem of
deforestation and environmental deterioration which has come about in part due
to the use of charcoal in urban centers, especially în the capital.
2. Of the possible interventions which could be made to reduce pressure
on the environment caused by urban charcoal consumption, expanding the
distribution of LPG should be considered a priority option, for the following
reasons: |
(a) For the most part, LPG commands a larger potential market among the
[page 159]
= 146 - ânnex XL
‘ Page 2 de 4
middle and well-to-do classes than do other fuels competing with
charcoal, such as kerosene (between 27% and 508 of the household
market for LPG, versus less than 10% for kerosene),
(b) Taking into account the quantities of gas involved and the importance
of protecting the national environment, the projected impact of gas
development on external balances (trade balance, balance of payments)
appears acceptable even under current (poor) economic circumstances
(by the year 2000, purchases of LPG would represent an increase in
imports equivalent to 5% of 1989 export levels).
: (c) Under current conditions of supply, propane is the least expensive
cooking fuel. It also is likely to become the most economic cooking
fuel option for the country, as soon as the conditions for supply
and distribution have been normalized.
3. In fact, the conditions for supplying LPG to Haiti appear to be
skewed. They can be summarized as follows:
(a) purchase and transport prices are substantially higher than
international benchmarks,
(b) import and distribution margins are extremely high (combined margins
represent 60 to 70% of the LPG retail price).
(ce) existing capacity for docking and storage Îs very reduced (stocks
of about two weeks). -
4. This situation is due mainly to the lack of a regulatory mechanism
for prices, arising from:
(a) the insufficiency of the Government's ability to exercise control
over prices, and
(b) inadequate competition between petroleum operators (monopoly
situation).
5. For these reasons, one of the components for the household energy
strategy în Haïti is to encourage competition în the import and distribution of
LPG, along the lines of three possible options:
(a) secure renegotiated terms for the existing operator under a
concession agreement (contract-plan) which includes provisions for
the price structure and investments,
(b) negotiate an agreement with the Dominican Republic, which currently
possesses excess storage capacity. LPG could be re-exported to
Haîti from the DR's new terminal at Azua,
(c) create autonomous infrastructure for docking, storage and bottling

Objectives
6. The objective of the proposed study is to analyze the short-term and
medium-term feasibility of these different options, and thereby recommend to the
Haitian Government:
(a) the import option or options most suitable for both the country and
the Haiîitian consumer in terms of price, supply security, etc.
‘ (b) the bottling and distribution options for the ‘“conventional*
(propane) and "popular" (butane) markets for gas, relative to the
options identified in (a).
(e) the most adequate institutional and financial frameworks for
realizing the necessary fixed investments and for operations
(import, bottling and distribution), including possible partners,
and implementation conditions.
.
7. In association with Haîitian counterparts, the consultants should: (1)
review the price structure of butane and propane gas: (ii) make a critical .
evaluation of existing market studies and studies of LPG supply options; and
(441) evaluate the legal and regulatory framework for LPG supply and
distribution.
8. On the basis of this analysis, the consultants will establish
appropriate contacts with potential LPG suppllers and partners, especially
petroleum companies in the following countries:
(a) Dominican Republic
(b) Caribbean and Latin American countries (Venezuela, Trinidad and
Tobago, Mexico)
(c) other companies, especially multinationals operating in Haiti or in
the Caribbean, :
. (d) as well as private Haîtian operators who are likely to participate
in future projects. -
9, Subsequent to making these contacts, the consultants and their
Haîtian counterparts will make joint missions to visit parties who are likely to
.be interested in LPG import and distribution in Haiti, in order to:
(a) identify the possible operating arrangements with different |
° potential partners and evaluate their degree of interest and
potential commitment, .
[page 161]
- 146 - . ânnex XL
Page 4 de 4
(b) identify and quantify the main parameters, financial and other
(xisks, for example), linked to the different potential options.
10. Based on the information gathered în Haiti and during the missions,
the consultants will prepare a summary report:
(z) describing and evaluating the potential options and frameworks for
(4) LPG imports and (11) LPG distribution.
(b) 1tenizing and budgeting at least two of the most promising options,
. and proposing a detailed action program for their implementation,
(c) proposing adequate institutional mechanisms, în particular legal and
regulatory aspects.
11. À seminar will then be organized to discuss the recommended option(s)
and prepare implementation with relevant institutions, organizations and the
private sector.
Oxganization and Costs .
12. The study will be carried out over a six month period. It will be
placed under the supervision of the Bureau for Petroleum Product Supply (BAPP)
and carried out by a teaa composed of the following experts:
. an energy economist (ESMAP) for 6 weeks;
- a petroleum expert specializing in LPG import and distribution
- problems (2.5 months)
- a legal expert specializing În petroleun contract negotiation and
institutional aspects (1.5 month).
13. The estimated budget for the study is as follows:
US$.
1. Consultants 75,000
2. Travel/Per Diem 30,000
3. Seminar/training 15,000
4. ESMAP cost 15,000

ECONOMIC COST OF CHARCOAL
HAITI FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROJECT1/
|
1. This note briefly presents the results of three methodologies which can be used to
calculate the economic price range for charcoal in Haïti. The three methods are: (a) border
princing of the nearest substitute fuel (Appendix 1), (b) replacement value pricing (Appendix 2),
and (c) marginal environmental cost pricing (Appendix 3). The most conservative approach (border
pricing using kerosene as the substitute fuel) yields an economic price for charcoal of $139 per
metric ton. By taking the replacement cost of wood based on industrial fuelwood plantations in
Haïti, the economic cost of charcoal is $176 per ton. The most broad-reaching approach,
incorporating marginal environmental costs, results in an economic valuation of $295 per ton. Thus,
the three methodologies result in an economic price range of between $139-295 per ton, or $5.30,
6.70 and 11.20 per 38 kg. sack. Converting this.to an economic pric in Haïtian gourdes/sack, the
respective values are 37, 47 and 78 gourdes. In comparison with the existing financial price of 41.9
gourdes/sack, the economic price range is 88-186% of the market price.
2. | Thus, taken at face value, the economic price range gives no guidance as to the -
direction that fiscal policy should take in guiding retail charcoal prices. Subjective decisions must
be made as to which economic pricing methodology is most appropriate to use in the case of Haïti.
Each has its drawbacks and advantages. Border pricing based on the Ieast-cost substitute household
fuel (kerosene) is unrealistic as (a) market tests indicate that kerosene is not a prefered fuel for
urban Haïti consumers, (b) it is unlikely that a significant number of charcoal users would switch
to kerosene, and (c) it is doubtful that the necessary foreign exchange could be made available to
pay for massive substitution with an imported fuel. Replacement costing also has its disadvantages:
(?) no industrial fuelwood plantations exist in Haïti so the estimated replacement cost of wood is
subject to uncertainty and (ii) attempting to replace all wood used for charcoal production from
plantations would run up against a number of constraints, e.g. availability of land and other key
inputs. The central problem with marginal environmental costing is the paucity of accurate data
on key variables such as the rate of soil erosion, the fertilizer value of tree specie* and the degree
of siltation caused by tree removal in representative deforested areas of the country.
3. Given the limitations of each method, but mindful of the need to arrive at a
recommendation regarding economic pricing, a choice should be made as to which approach is most
appropriate, ‘The kerosene parity price can be dropped as it is not a real-world option.
Replacement pricing is also unrealistic as industrial planting is unlikely to occur on massive scale.
However, smallholder tree planting is occurring on a large scale and may be a more reasonable
proxy for replacement costs. Based on smallholder reforestation costs, the replacement value of
1/ Note prepared by Mr. Josef Leïtmann (ESMAP) during the FEPP Appraisal Mission in June 1990.
[page 163]
- 148 - Annexe XII
Page 2 de 7
charcoal is $300/ton (see Appendix 4). Therefore, an appropriate economic value for charcoal in
Haïti appears to be in the range of $295-300/ton, ie, between the environmental and smallholder
replacement costs. This implies a target retail price of 78-80 gourdes/sack, or an increase of almost
90% above the present price level.

APPENDIX 1 |
The parity price of the least-cost substitute fuel is the economic value of the amount
of kerosene required to deliver the same amount of energy as charcoal, taking into account the life-
cycle costs of cooking equipment. This value is given by the equation:
PP = RV, - RV. * (LC, - LO)/EC,
where |
PP = Parity Price
RV, = Replacement Value of Charcoal
= $176.40/ton (see Appendix 2)
LC, = Life-cycle Cost of charcoal (improved stove)
= $23.02 per delivered GJ
LC, = Life-cycle Cost of kerosene (pressure stove)
= $18.25 per delivered GJ
EC = Energy Cost of charcoal (improved stove)
. = $22.53 per delivered GJ
By substituting these values into the equation, one arrives at an economic substitute or parity price
of $139/ton of charcoal.

APPENDIX 3
From a recent analysis of the economic value of wood in Haïti (Hosier and
Bernstein, 1989), the marginal opportunity cost of a resource should reflect its long-run marginal
value based on both its immediate environmental effects and the needs of future generations.
Mathematically, this can be expected as:
MOC, = MC + MEC,
where MOC, is the marginal opportunity cost of the resource, MC is the direct harvesting costs or
marginal costs as normally perceived and MEC, is the marginal external cost of the good to
different sectors.
. In this analysis, the harvesting cost (MC) is considered to be equal to the financial .
price of the woodfuel to the consuming sector. This is currently, at most, 35-50 Gourdes per tonne
(US$5-7/tonne). The marginal external contribution of trees to soil improvement (MEC)) is
between US$12-20/TOE or US$4-6/tonne. The on-site contribution of trees to the reduction of
soil erosion (MEC.) is US$45/TOE or US$14/tonne. The off-site contribution of trees to sediment ‘
redution is calculated at US$10/TOE or US$3/tonne.
Therefore, the range for the economic value of wood in Haïti can be summed up
as follows:
Element Economic Value
(US$/tonne)
MC 5-7
ME, (soil improvement) 46
ME, (soil erosion) 14 |
° MEC, (sedimentation) —
MOC, 26-30
Thus, if no lower-cost environmental damage avoidance measures are available, the
economic opportunity of wood on the stump in Haïti can be taken as between US$26-30 per tonne
{US$18-21 per m°).
