One of the non-timber forest product (NTFP) commodities that provides a lot of potential and function to increase income is tapping pine resin. This research aims to calculate the income of pine sap tapping farmers and income from other sectors. This research was conducted in September 2023 at the HKm Nusantara Hijau work area, Laiya Village, Cenrana District, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Determining the population and sample for this study used the purposive sampling method by taking 20 people as respondents. Respondents were selected with the consideration that they had been tapping for more than one year, people who lived around the forest area and were members of the Nusantara Hijau forest farmer group, and made their main job as pine sap tapper.
