KVTC was established in 1992 and is one of the most innovative forest management projects in Africa, bringing a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits to a remote area of Tanzania.

At the heart of the project is the planting and sustainable harvesting of plantation teak and the protection and management of over 20,000ha of native forests and wetlands and a wide range of wildlife and flora within.

KVTC has established an integrated processing plant for the production of timber and value added product, bringing much needed long term employment and social development for the region.

With major shareholders including the Africa Sustainable Forestry Fund and Finnish Development funds, KVTC is dedicated to delivering high value Teak, sustainably and ethically sourced from the Heart of Africa.
