Wood-fuel is among the dominant solid biomass energy source used by all households in the country. Charcoal and firewood are the source of income for the poor rural households and primary fuel in most rural and urban areas of Ethiopia. The gross value added from value chain across all levels of wood fuel production in Ethiopia was about USD 5,858 million, accounting about 4.5% of the GDP in 2014. It increased to USD 6,419 million in 2015. It is difficult to present the cost-benefit distribution along the chain of charcoal production and marketing because it passes through informal channels. Large number of people are employed in the various phases of the charcoal value chain, including: tree harvesting; sizing of wood; preparation of charcoal kilns; loading the wood into kilns and unloading charcoal after conversion; unloading, bundling, packaging and transportation, and marketing. However, that dis...

However, the framework is inadequate to be better indicator economic performance, since it misses most of non-marketed economic activities because of different reasons. In this paper, we assessed the gap in the current practices of SNA in general and forest resource accounting system in particular using different national data sources to review the current practice of accounting in Ethiopian Economy. We also examined structure and contents of economic values of forest products and services. In the current Ethiopian system of national accounts, there was attempt to incorporate more forestry economic activities as much as the methodological approaches permitted. Different data on gross value of outputs and cost of material inputs collected from all available sources to calculate the contribution of different economic sectors to Ethiopian GDP. However, there are limitations in full coverage of forest goods and services and up-to-date productivity indicators-calling for a robust effort by all stakeholders. SNA's room for flexibility that allows application of satellite accounting is worthy of value addition for improving the existing SNA gaps in methodologies, data availability and economic activity coverage. Measuring forest values that is more comprehensive than the current SNA greatly contributes towards production of integrated statistical indicators for development plan & policy formulation in social, economic & environmental spheres.
