About KEFGA
Kenya Forest Growers Association (KEFGA) is voluntary national association that brings together private and commercial tree growers representing and promoting commercial forestry and farm tree growers in Kenya. KEFGA believes that commercial forestry has real potential to produce wealth for the poor either through direct participation as growers or through employment creation.
KEFGA therefore seeks to pursue the need for ecologically sustainable forest management to be accepted as a legitimate agricultural land use in Kenya and sees the recognition of appropriate placement of trees in the landscape as providing multiple economic benefits as well as environmental and social benefits.
KEFGA recognizes that trees have the capacity to simultaneously address multiple natural resource management (NRM) issues, while providing a commercial return on investment. In spite of scientific recognition of the positive role forestry can play in meeting multiple objectives, commercial forestry and private forest management has not been given much attention in Kenya as has been done in countries such as Australia, S. Africa and New Zealand which have huge industries based upon privately managed forests.
