Komaza is a pioneering company in the African forestry sector, focusing on creating sustainable wood supply solutions by partnering with smallholder farmers. Operating primarily in regions facing wood supply crises due to booming populations and accelerating economies, Komaza leverages the untapped potential of small-scale farmers who collectively possess vast land and labor resources. The company’s business model involves planting, harvesting, and processing trees on these small farms, providing farmers with life-changing income opportunities while addressing environmental concerns like deforestation.

Komaza's revenue model is built on the selective harvesting and processing of wood, which requires significant economies of scale and advanced equipment. By managing the entire value chain—from planting to processing and sales—Komaza ensures high-quality wood products that meet market demands. The company targets both local and international markets, aiming to capture a sizable share of the multi-billion dollar forestry market in Africa.

Komaza's clients include smallholder farmers who benefit from the income generated through the partnership, as well as businesses and consumers in need of sustainable wood products. The company’s impact extends beyond economics, contributing to social and environmental sustainability by reducing deforestation and promoting responsible forestry practices.
