Eneri Platforms Limited intends to pioneer private sector participation in developing commercial forest plantations in Zambia, while also integrating its partners into the beekeeping value chain. Phase 1 of the Tree Growers Project will establish 3210 hectares consisting of exotic pine and eucalyptus, as well as suitable indigenous tree species by 2024. The company aims to achieve this by partnering with numerous farmers countrywide and providing them with the key inputs and training to successfully establish and manage the plantations.

A Site Suitability Assessment will be conducted to determine the suitability of the land for tree farming. Where an assessment indicates that soil is nutrient deficient, expert advice will be provided to the farmer to allow corrective action that would enable participation in the program.
After successful completion of the Site Suitability Assessment, we then progress to the signing of contracts. Eneri Platforms employs a Shared Cost-Benefit model which allows farmers to contribute to the establishment and management costs of the forest plantations and benefit in accordance to their cost contribution.
Simply put, if you contribute 50% of the cost, you will receive 50% of the profits from the harvested trees!
Successfully onboarded farmers will then undergo best practice tree planting and management training. Farmers will be provided with all the necessary training materials and field extension support will be made available throughout the plantation lifecycle.
