Forestal MT - Echo of Honduras' Landscapes
Meet Forestal MT
From Honduras to the World Stage
Our story begins not in a boardroom, but in the dense, living forests of Honduras, where one family's vision grew into a legacy of authentic ethnobotanical treasures.
Roots in Olancho
History
Our story begins in living forests, not boardrooms. What started as one man's stewardship in Olancho became a family legacy linking Honduras' pine ranges and indigenous territories to global customers who demand authenticity.
Between the 1990s and 2000s, Nery Roberto Murillo Montalván grew stewardship into over 0 hectares of woodland—a responsibility held for future generations. Early years in timber and pine resin taught us forest rhythms, export rigor, and the balance between harvest and regeneration.
When regulatory shifts and market pressures challenged resin, community trust opened a new path: a Batana Oil gift from Miskito partners in La Mosquitia revealed how ancient craft could meet modern wellness.
Roots in sustainable forestry
Nery Roberto Murillo Montalván acquired and managed 5,000 hectares of woodland as a responsibility for future generations.
Forestal MT founded
Stewardship formalized into Forestal Murillo Tejada S. de R.L. de C.V.—a family enterprise built to endure.
Batana Oil gift from La Mosquitia
Miskito councils shared Batana Oil while resin plans paused nationwide; the gesture revealed a path to bridge ancestral craft and modern wellness.
Family-led relaunch
Consensus-led structure through the pandemic, keeping ownership within the Murillo Tejada family and innovating with tradition at the core.
From responsible timber and resin exports to ethnobotanicals, our evolution followed community trust, regulatory shifts, and a commitment to keep origin stories intact.
