Lake Volta
Lake Volta hides a forest of premium hardwood that has been submerged since Ghana built the Akosombo Dam in the 1960s. Today, Kete Krachi Timber Recovery (KKTR), a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Dedeso Holdings, is turning this underwater treasure into rare, sustainable products for the global market. Our concession on Lake Volta covers 3,500 km² and contains about 14 million m³ of recoverable hardwood. Unlike traditional forestry, every log we recover was submerged decades ago and preserved underwater – harvesting them relieves pressure on Ghana’s remaining forests and improves safety on the lake.
