What We Do
Secure ethically sourced Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) through fair-trade. Adding value to NTFPs with lean manufacturing processes. Started in West Bali, Indonesia for the Planet
Non-Timber Forest Product
Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) encompass all biological materials derived from forests—excluding commercial timber—such as resins, coffee, cacao, honey, and essential oils. In Indonesia, these products are the lifeblood of local and indigenous communities, providing a sustainable economy that does not require the felling of trees. By shifting the economic value of the forest from its wood to its recurring natural yields, NTFPs create a powerful incentive for “standing forest” conservation; communities become the primary guardians against illegal logging and land conversion to protect their own livelihoods.

Forest Farmers Sustainability Practice
In collaboration with the government’s Social Forestry program, our farmers serve as stewards of the landscapes bordering West Bali National Park. Through “rustic farming”—a low-impact cultivation method that avoids heavy machinery—we maximize ecological health while preserving the rainforest’s integrity.
This regenerative approach utilizes diverse plant species and extensive root systems to sequester carbon and naturally manage soil nitrogen. By prioritizing biodiversity, we eliminate the need for synthetic fertilizers, resulting in richer soil and higher yields. Beyond agriculture, these practices provide critical ecosystem services, including watershed protection, flood prevention, and natural pest management, ensuring the long-term resilience of West Bali’s unique environment.
Nusantara’s Sustainability Practice
Nusantara is redefining rural support and forest
protection through the ethical trade of
Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs). By
guaranteeing fair pricing even during
harvest-season volatility, we provide a vital
economic lifeline for local farmers.
Our direct-trade model—covering premium
goods like vanilla, cacao, and essential
oils—ensures full transparency from forest to
market. This approach does more than secure
livelihoods; it actively combats climate change by
incentivizing forest conservation over
agricultural expansion. At Nusantara, we don’t
just source products; we catalyze environmental
resilience and community prosperity.
