Komaza works to unlock the potential of small-scale farmers to solve Africa's wood supply crisis. Collectively, small farmers possess limitless land and labor resources to plant billions of trees. Komaza provides farmers with support across the forestry value chain, from seedlings to sawmills. With a dramatically lower-cost and more-scalable forestry model, our vision is to become Africa’s largest forestry company, growing an environmentally-sustainable wood supply and generating truly life-changing income for millions of farmers. Komaza is making smallholder farmers the future of African forestry. Our powerful approach combines technology, training, and service to create a new sustainable wood supply for Africa at an 80% cost disruption over traditional plantations. We have planted over 4 million trees with 20,000 farmers, making us one of East Africa's largest commercial tree planter. Komaza has been recognized with numerous awards and investments, including Forbes, Ashoka, Mulago Foundation, and Novastar Ventures.
