\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Sudan depends mainly on the forestry sector to supply its energy need. However, WFs are being considered to be on of the main causes of deforestation. Under the new petroleum discoveries and LPG availability there is a need to study factors influencing household WF consumption. The study aims mainly to investigate the level of WF consumption and understand the main factors that have influenced it recently (i.e the price of WF, price of alternatives, income and family size). Specifically, it was intended to investigate the level of and patterns of WF consumption, WF share in energy budget and Household WF dependency. Using questionnaire and survey, group discussion and official interview as a methodological instrument data was collected (during the period between 1998 and 2007) from two rural areas in Gezira state. The relationships between WF consumption and its expected determinants have been examined using regression and elasticities of demand analysis specifically run by using SPSS program. 







The results suggested that level of household WF consumption significantly decreased compared with the national reported level. Among the variable tested WF consumption was found to be affected mainly by price of LPG and to less extend by its own price. There was variation between the two study areas concerning the effect of income. Family size was found to be an important variable in determining level of WF consumption but change in Family size was not a significant factor behind WF reduction. In the light of the results and the discussion a numbers of valuable policy recommendations have been suggested. The study support the presumption that LPG price reduction policy and charcoal price policy, have succeeded in reducing WF consumption but in the long run other policy option might be necessary.}
