Committed to sustainable forest restoration and commercial agriculture in Zambia
To be an innovative and creative organization that puts the planet first to maintain and improve environmental sustainability.
We will establish a full value chain business to supply both the export and local market in an environmentally sustainable way, preserving and adding to forestries in Zambia to contribute to Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals.
Our comprehensive approach to sustainable forestry and agriculture
We plant a majority of indigenous commercially viable trees whose commercial value maintains their long-term sustainability to prevent deforestation.
We bring surrounding communities to develop their skills in sustainable forest management to discourage deforestation.
We produce natural products which are not genetically modified for both the export and local market.
We employ members of the local community to economically empower them and provide alternative means of survival.
We process our products with full utilization and recycling of all by-products.
We use environmentally sustainable ways to manage plantations, including natural fertilizers and renewable energy for farming and processing.

A balanced approach ensuring financial sustainability while preserving indigenous species
Sclerocarya birrea
Indigenous to Zambia, the Marula tree is at the heart of our plantation strategy. The Amarula fruit provides beverage juice and edible oil, supporting both local communities and export markets.
Purpose: Preserve indigenous species while maintaining commercial viability
Macadamia integrifolia
Native to Australia but now thriving in Southern Africa, macadamia trees provide premium nuts for local and export markets, ensuring financial sustainability of our operations.
Purpose: Provide financial stability to support indigenous tree preservation
This strategic balance ensures the financial stability needed to preserve indigenous Marula trees while contributing to Zambia's reforestation goals through commercially sustainable practices.
