Forestry and LoggingNairobi, Kenya51-200 Employees
Komaza, based in Nairobi, Kenya, operates in the forestry and logging sector with a model that blends large-scale operations and digital intelligence to integrate smallholder farmers into wood markets. The company is actively planting commercial-grade forests at more than a million trees per year and expanding its farmer-base by more than 5,000. To date, it has planted over seven million trees across twenty-two thousand farmers, making it the largest industrial tree planter in Kenya. It relies on underutilized smallholder land to establish a hectare of trees at a lower cost than large plantations and promotes a sustainable approach to expanding Africa's wood supply. The company has been recognized by organizations such as The Climate Policy Initiative, The Nature Conservancy, Forbes, and Novastar Ventures. In 2023, it announced a partnership with Dolphin Bay to advance its forestry initiatives.
