Rooted in Indonesia.
Connected to the world.

Our company takes its name from the vibrant landscapes of the Indonesian archipelago. Derived from the word “Nusantara”—“the archipelago”—it reflects a territory of exceptional botanical, cultural, and human richness. Nusa — the islands. Terra — the earth. Origin — the source. We develop our supply chains directly in the heart of regions selected for the quality of their terroir, their local expertise, and the potential for impact we can create there alongside the communities. We invest alongside local partners and support producers at every stage of the supply chain: from plantations and raw material sourcing to the distillation of oils. With a strong presence on the ground, each supply chain is managed as an independent business; our collection centers and local offices are run autonomously and handle the receipt and management of oils.

as well as the documentation tracking for the supply chains. On a daily basis, our teams work closely with local producers and partners, monitor harvests, oversee production, and coordinate the implementation of our programs and investments. We have chosen to develop our supply chains at a deliberately controlled scale in order to build supply chains on a human scale, deeply rooted in their local communities, where quality, traceability, and sustainable relationships go hand in hand.

How We Work

People behind the origins

Partnership Director

Our approach blends human relationships, heritage knowledge, raw material selection, processing expertise, and natural resource protection ensuring sustainable and long-term production.

Committed to delivering sustainably produced essential oils, we uplift communities through responsible and ethical partnerships. We founded Nusa Terra with a deeply held belief: we can only grow when our partners grow with us. This means investing in their skills, their capacity, and their long-term future.

From Sumatra patchouli and Garut vetiver to nutmeg, benzoin, and sandalwood, we produce our oils at source, together with the producers and communities who keep these traditions alive. We work alongside producers at every stage of the journey—from planting and sourcing raw materials through to distillation.

This philosophy is at the heart of our business model. Our producers and local partners are more than suppliers: they are part of what we build. Deeply rooted in the field, each supply chain is managed like an independent business, close to its landscape, its producers, and its own local realities.

Across the Indonesian archipelago, our offices and collection centres receive and check the oils, maintain traceability, and manage the production records. Every day, our teams work closely with producers, follow the harvests, oversee production, and coordinate the programmes and investments developed together with our local partners.

Future at Source.

We have set a traceability system that ensures a clear path from the tree owners through the oil production process, passing through legalized collection points and established collectors.

Learn About Our Work

Nur Series

Growing the Future at Source.

Since 2021, with the support of environmental organizations, 8,000 to 15,000 young plants have been replanted yearly in ENT, Sumba and Timor. New nurseries are being developed in Timor in collaboration with local environmental organizations and communities.

In Java, in the middle of our Sandalwood Java Origin area, on the factory grounds, a new nursery has been established, allowing for the annual production and distribution of 24,000 young plants.
