Abstract

Forest utilization through social forestry management within state forest areas is implemented to realize forest sustainability, community welfare, and environmental balance, and accommodate socio-cultural dynamics, requiring approval, recognition, and capacity building for the community. This study aims to analyze the potential of priority Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) at the Siarsikarsik Village Forest Management Institute (LPHD), Pasar Lumban Julu Village, Lumban Julu District, Toba Regency. The research was conducted from August to September 2022 using primary and secondary data. The method used is to conduct a census of the LPHD management population. The data analysis technique uses the stages of reduction, presentation, verification, and conclusion. From the interview results, it was found that the priority NTFP potentials were honey, rattan, incense, sugar palm, and ornamental plants. The obstacle in NTFP management is the low level of human resources and institutional capacity. Capacity building is the main strategy in supporting the development of NTFP management.
