  2. Africa’s stagnant forestry supply is being eclipsed by steady demand growth Source: Food and Agricultural Organization, Indufor, and GEF Estimates This growing supply gap leads to increases in prices, imports and deforestation

  3. GEF has a long-term, sustainable comparative advantage in African timber • GEF has a successful history in African forestry investments since 2001 • Our team and network are the strongest and most experienced on the continent with backgrounds in finance, forestry, milling and biomass energy. • GEF benefits from very limited competition and deep proprietary information; currently allowing us to buy quality assets at less than half of replacement cost • Proven ability to de-risk assets through silviculture, fire management, planning and manufacturing partnerships. • Strong base of people, skills and assets to build on. With 100,000 planted hectares, we are already the largest owner of non-pulp forestry assets in Africa. • Vision: Combine ASFF I and II and target 250,000 planted hectares of plantations that best capitalize on a growing supply/demand imbalance. This “Pan-African Forestry Company” will be well-diversified with mitigated risks to offer a wide range of exit opportunities for ASFF investors.
