Uganda Tree Resources

Uganda Tree Resources Uganda Tree Resources is a company dedicated to the production of eucalyptus hybrid plants through cloning methodology for commercial tree farming in Uganda

Uganda Tree Resources was born out of the Tree Biotechnology Project (TBP), funded by Gatsby Charitable Foundation (GCF) and lead by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA). The project began in 1997 in Kenya as a collaborative effort to increase tree planting in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. In the past, tree planting in these countries had been scarce lea

ding to high rates of deforestation, an under-developed forestry sector and possible scarcity of forestry by-products. With the acquisition of a variety of Hybrid Eucalyptus clones and each of the countries' forestry Research Institutes, the project succeeded in propagating the trees and matching to different bio-climatic areas in each country. For the second stage of the project (commercial production) the product was met with such high demand, that the founding organisations decided it was best to give TBP independence to grow as a commercial enterprise. In August 2012, Uganda Tree Resources Limited was registered as a company and is in the process of expanding capacity to meet the growing demand for trees in Uganda.
