Abstract
Fuelwood consumption and supply pattern in the rural area of district Attack was studied by sample survey of randomly selected villages. Data from sample households were collected with the help of structured and pretested questionnaire. In all 90 respondents were randomly selected and interviewed. Analysis revealed that fuelwood was the major source of household energy in the area. About 83% of the household use fuelwood as well as other cheaper fuels. Only 17% were found using efficient commercial fuels (LPG, Kerosine etc.) to meet their energy needs. The data show that the average household size in the study area is nearly 6 persons. The increase in household size results in increasing total fuel consumption.
