A forester uses a Husqvarna chainsaw to cut up a fallen pine tree in Zimbabwe's eastern highlands.

Zimbabwe’s Eastern Highlands are renowned for beautiful forests and abundant natural resources. This region is highly reliant on the forestry industry to fuel its economy. Operating in this tough environment requires the use of high-quality, trustworthy forestry tools. 

Forestry is important to Zimbabwe’s economy because it provides jobs, foreign exchange through exports, and long-term development for the economy. The forestry sector contributes a major portion of Zimbabwe’s GDP and employs thousands of people throughout the country, but most of these jobs are concentrated in the Eastern Highlands.

However, the forestry industry faces numerous obstacles, including illegal logging, limited infrastructure, and inefficient processes. To address these difficulties, the industry requires new tools with superior performance, durability, and precision.

Using world-class forestry tools has many advantages, including better efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. Investing in high-quality equipment allows forestry professionals to streamline their operations, save downtime, and have a lower environmental effect. Cutting Edge, Zimbabwe’s supplier of Husqvarna forestry tools, recognises these requirements and provides a wide variety of products to fulfil the industry’s standards.
