- Abstract
Tengkawang is the flora mascot of West Kalimantan Province and has long been the mainstay of life for people living around forest areas. Its fruit can be processed into fat and sold as green butter, borneo tallow, or tengkawang oil, which is used as a chocolate substitute, and ingredient in lipstick, candles, and medicines. Its wood is used as raw material for the sawmill and plywood industry. Currently, tengkawang trees are threatened with extinction and have been replaced by rubber and oil palm plantations. The objective of this study is to analyze the financial feasibility of three land cultivation models and formulate a land cultivation model in community forests. This study used three models of land cultivation, namely tengkawang cultivation, rubber cultivation, and oil palm cultivation, which are managed through monoculture. This research used a descriptive method with survey and interview techniques using questionnaires. The financial analysis findings indicate that all three land cultivation models are viable, with profitability ranking in the following order: tengkawang, rubber, and oil palm. Consequently, tengkawang proves to be the more financially rewarding option when compared to rubber and oil palm.
