Abstract
This study aims to analyze the productivity and income of candlenut farmers in the Nggahi Rawi Pahu Community Forest (HKm), Maria Donggo Massa Forest Management Unit (KPHL), Bima Regency. Candlenut (Aleurites moluccana) is one of the Non-Timber Forest Products that has high economic value and has long been utilized by local communities around the forest. The research method was descriptive quantitative, with data collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires involving 61 candlenut farmers. The results show that candlenut productivity varies according to land area, with the highest productivity reaching 1,884.30 kg/ha on land less than 0.5 hectares. The average net income of candlenut farmers is IDR 8,585,557.38 per year, with revenues amounting to IDR 9,796,733.61 and production costs of IDR 1,058,852.46 per year. Factors such as land area, number of trees, and cultivation techniques influence the productivity and income of farmers. The study concludes that more intensive land management on small plots yields higher productivity, while larger plots require better management to improve harvest outcomes. Recommendations include enhancing land management efficiency, providing cultivation training, and strengthening government support to improve the productivity and income of candlenut farmers
