Analysis of the farmers' income for pine tappers (Pinus merkusii) koakan method at KPH Mamasa Tengah

Abstract

One type of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) that sap can use is pine stands. Pine stands must be tapped to get the sap and of course it requires a lot of labor to work as sap tappers. One of the efforts made is to involve communities around the forest. Public interest in getting involved in pine sap tapping is still low. The cause of the low interest in the community to be involved in pine sap tapping is thought to be due to the low contribution of income from pine sap tapping to farmers' income. This study aims to determine the income of pine sap tappers and the factors that influence the income of pine sap tappers in KPH Mamasa Tengah, West Sulawesi. The data analysis used in this research is quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the income of pine sap tappers was Rp. 1,577,500 / month if the tools and materials were borne by the company and the income of the pine sap tappers was Rp. 30,020 / month if the tools and materials were borne by the farmers. The results of multiple regression analysis indicate that the factor that affects the income of pine sap tappers is the area of tapping.
