About us

Vision

To enhance commercial forestry investments in Kenya by providing a platform for information sharing, collaboration, market linkages, generation of technologies and showcasing innovations

Mission

To provide innovative forestry solutions that create economic opportunities for small-scale and large-scale forest producers while promoting sustainable forest management and conservation practices

Overview

The Kenya Commercial Forestry Investment Centre aims to bridge the technical and information gaps between commercial forestry actors by providing a platform for provision of commercial forestry information and linkages. We provide actors with linkages to markets through our robust marketplace where businesses can register and offer their products for sale. We also link actors to technical advisory services such as nursery establishment, tree growing and management, insect, and pest control, among others. Currently, the Centre is hosted within KEFRI, with activities managed by a variety of stakeholders in commercial forestry
