This directory was developed to address the tree seed information and linkage gaps prevalent in Indonesia. It provides reliable information to seed consumers - farmers, NGOs, projects, government institutions and others - and promotes the services and products of seed suppliers. Most importantly the directory provides a channel for consumers and suppliers to build linkages. The information in the directory was collected through a survey of 140 seed suppliers operating throughout Indonesia. The seed suppliers were identified by compiling the experience of five forest tree seed centres (BPTH - Balai Perbenihan Tanaman Hutan located in Palembang, Bandung, Denpasar, Banjar Baru and Ujung Pandang) ; the Directorate of Forest Tree Seed (DFTS), Ministry of Forestry; and, ICRAF/Winrock's network of NGOs, farmer groups and development organisations. In addition to the survey, more information was gathered through interviews with key seed suppliers in Wonogiri, Central Java and Ponorogo, East Java, which are Indonesia’s primary sources of tree seed.
