Shrub encroachment from invader bush infringes prime agricultural land and is a major issue within the African agricultural industry. Shrub-encroached areas often suff¬er from reduced ground-water recharge which in turn a¬ffects plant and animal diversity.
The utilisation of the problem species for the manufacture of charcoal has been accepted as an environmentally friendly process. This improves rangelands and allows farmers to reclaim grazing land, resulting in the coppiced wood being turned into charcoal.
The invader bushes are harvested by the farmers. The coppiced timber is loaded into a kiln and carbonised over a 3-day period. The farmers are skilled in loading the kiln at the highest efficiency. Once the burn is complete and the kiln cooled, the charcoal is collected and sent to the factory where it is graded, bagged accordingly and shipped over to the UK.
Packaging is 100% recyclable.
