Agroforestry Management with Vanilla and Agarwood in East Kalimantan

Abstract

illa as an export commodity has a role to gain the devisa. It gets a special concern in its development while agar wood is a one of commercial valuable market commodity Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu (HHBK). That’s why it needs to cultivate with agroforestry system.This research aims to find the production of vanilla  and maximum increment of agar wood  and the financial analysis cultivation of vanilla which combined with agar wood.This research conducted in Bukit Raya Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan province. Method of this research conducted by using  theory of production, scientific principles to calculate the production of vanilla and the increment of agar wood by measuring the diameter and the highest of agar wood. To find out the financial worthinnes by using Pay Back Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), Net benefit cost ratio (Net B/C) and Internal Rate of return (IRR). The result of this analysis showed that the maximum production of vanilla at the age of 9 years with the total production was 378 kg/ha, it can be harvested at the age 3 to 11 years while the increment of agar wood can be inoculated at the age 4-5 years with the age of inoculation during 2 years and gubal Agar wood can be harvested at the age 6 years to 25 years. The optimal increment of agar wood reached at the age 15 years with the total maximum was 14.5 m³/ha while the cultivation to 25 years because it can get the financial benefit yet.  The financial cultivation analysis of vanilla which  combined with agar wood  by using NPV, Net B/C and IRR theory reaching  profit 15%. It was 54,592,000 rupiah and 1.95. The total of IRR was 21.5%. Equivalent annual annuity is 8,445,350 rupiah and scale effort has 6 ha. It proved that the cultivation of vanilla and agar wood is feasible to cultivate by using Net present value, net B/C and IRR more than MAR. The future of forest industry would be better diverted to the non timber forest products by cultivating vanilla and Agar wood with agroforestry system. It because in economically was feasible to cultivate as a model of sustainable forest at East Kalimantan Province.
