About LevasFlor, Lda

LevasFlor, Lda is a Mozambican registered company with a 46,000 hectare forest concession located 150 km from Beira in the central province of Sofala. The company holds both forest management and chain of custody FSC certificate of natural forests in Mozambique: SGS – FM/COC – 002870. LevasFlor practices responsible forestry management with a 20 year rotation cycle, where only a selection of healthy, mature trees is removed. This kind of small-scale and labor-intensive forestry limits the impact on the environment since the open terrain typical of miombo forest significantly reduces the need for road-building and heavy haulage for log removal. LevasFlor is a completely integrated forestry company with full control of the process from harvest of logs to shipment of final product. The company’s industrial unit is located deep inside the forest concession and comprise of wet mill, kilns, dry mill, CCA treatment plant and carpentry workshops. The final products are either sent directly from the factory to local clients all over Mozambique or sent to the company’s export terminal in Beira for further shipment abroad. The company employs around 200 local people and has a serious commitment to social development through employment, education and improved health care for its staff as well as support to the neighbouring communities in Cheringoma and Muanza districts in building schools and clinics and support local initiatives such as charcoal production of forest residues to create employment and a basketry program for women.
