<![CDATA[Pine resin tapping is a potential economic activity that contributes to increasing rural household income. This study aims to: (1) examine the economic condition of the community before and after engaging in resin tapping, and (2) analyze the impact of resin tapping on the community's economy. A descriptive quantitative method was used, with a sample of 40 respondents who consistently engage in resin tapping. Data were collected through observation, interviews using questionnaires, and documentation. The results show that before engaging in resin tapping, all respondents were in the medium economic category. After the activity, 22.5% remained in the medium category and 77.5% shifted to the high economic category. No respondents were in the low category before or after tapping. A paired sample t-test showed that the calculated t-value was greater than the critical t-value, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). This indicates that pine resin tapping in Sasakan Village has a significant positive impact on the community's economy. It is recommended that resin tapping activities continue to be supported through training and improved market access to enhance their contribution to community welfare.AbstrakPenyadapan getah pinus merupakan kegiatan ekonomi potensial dalam meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat pedesaan.
