PT Monfori Nusantara is a Jakarta-based plant tissue culture company. PT Monfori Nusantara was founded by Monsanto Co. USA and the Australian based biotechnology company, ForBio Ltd. in 1996 for undertaking forestry crops, especially teak.

In 1997, PT Monfori Nusantara established the first and largest tissue culture facility in Indonesia, located 80 kilometers south of Jakarta near city of Bogor. This facility was built on a total land area of 3 hectares of which 1,550 m2 represents laboratory production area and 10,000 m2 greenhouse. When it was built, the plant facility was regarded as South East Asia’s most advanced tissue culture facility. The plant facility began its operation in 1998 with the production of elite Eucalyptus, Acacia and Teak plantlets.

In 2002, PT Monfori Nusantara was acquired by a group of local investors and started to expand its expertise in supplying floriculture planting materials. Year by year, PT Monfori has successfully built strong image and credibility as a seedling supplier for the floriculture industry in Holland, Australia, USA and England.
