Our management team spans Hong Kong, London, Europe and USA as well as locally in Africa, with deep experience in the fields of finance - facilitating invaluable access to capital markets – forestry, agriculture and sustainability practices. It is our goal to become the leader in the sustainable commercialization of Sub-Saharan timber and agriculture, across the value chain, while contributing to long-term economic and social development.

We have acquired a substantial portfolio of sustainable natural forest timber concessions in Mozambique. In 2017, Obtala acquired WoodBois International ApS which adds not only established timber resources in Gabon, but also, importantly, a global trading and distribution arm. This demonstrates Obtala’s commitment to seizing opportunities to move up the supply chain as they arise.

The Group adheres to high standards of sustainability across its operations with a positive social and environmental impact. The business fundamentals of our operations are highly attractive in an investment sector that combines tangible assets with cashflow flexibility.

Through our Tanzanian agricultural arm, Obtala is developing a “Farm to Fork” model, capturing added value for high-quality fruit and vegetable produce, moving from the farm fields to the shop shelves, increasing revenues and optimising margins. Our key markets are Dar Es Salaam, Kenya and the United Arab Emirates.
