A BRIQUETTE PRODUCERS CONFERENCE was recently held in Tanzania with over 50 participants from the East, Central and Southern African region participating! It was very successful in helping to create a local network of producers, bring out current issues producers are facing and allow for the development of a way forward for the network. Ideas for the future included more training in marketing and business development and more sharing/networking of technologies and briquette production techniques including materials preparation, mixing and drying.
