Any degree related to forestry is marketable, and there are numerous jobs you can do in Kenya with such qualification.
Many graduates are often in dilemma after completing college, unaware that several companies employ individuals with forestry related degrees. I make it my work to inform you about the best companies to seek employment when you possess forestry related degree. I am certain that if you drop your application letter to any of the following companies, you will secure employment
- Kenya Forestry Research Institute
- Ministry of Agriculture
- Ministry of Environment
- Kenya Agricultural Research Institute
- Kenya Agricultural Research Institute
- KALRO Food Crops Research Institute (formerly KARI)
- Kenya Forest Service
- Finlays Kenya
- Bamboo Trading Company
- Egerton University

- AWF
These are just but a few companies where you can get employed. But I would like to tell you one thing: in Kenya, jobs related to forestry are few, which result to high unemployment rate among forestry graduates.So,for you to be more marketable, you have to pursue at least a Masters degree in Forestry-a PhD is ideal because you will seek opportunities in our local universities as a lecturer.
Alternatively, you can be self-employed. In this regard, farming is the best option.
