Komaza

A non-profit social enterprise committed to reducing rural poverty by connecting smallholder farmers with high-value markets.

Komaza is revolutionizing African forestry by unlocking the potential for small farmers to serve booming wood markets. With roots in San Francisco and headquarters in coastal Kenya, Komaza has planted over 2 million trees with more than 6,000 farmers, making the company Kenya’s largest active commercial tree planter. By leveraging farmers’ contribution of land and labor, Komaza can access effectively limitless land and establish a hectare of trees for far less than big plantations – a powerful cost disruption to the traditional forestry model.
