Abstract

Poverty remains as an important issue of West Nusa Tenggara province. Data on poverty incidence indicate that in 2005 about 21% of the population living below the poverty line. By September 2014, the poverty incidence decreased to 17%. Various development programs have been promoted to improve the situation including community forestry program (Hutan Kemasyarakatan). Some studies have been done to understand the impacts this program, and most concluded for their limited roles in improving the smallholder livelihoods. On the basis of this argument, a study on timber and non-timber forest product production and marketing strategies has been conducted in Sumbawa since 2013. The findings of this study are presented and discussed in this paper. Using multi-stages data collection approaches (scoping studies, household survey, market survey, and focus group discussion) and value chain analysis, the results of this study indicate some constraints along the Non- Timber Forest Product value chains. Gaps in smallholders’ knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices are identified, and alternative interventions are provided to improve the value chain performance. Capacity building activities are needed to improve farmers’ knowledge and skills, and to change their attitudes, aspirations and practices which in turn will improve their social, economic and environmental conditions.
