<![CDATA[Agrotourism on small islands necessitates livelihood diversification that remains in harmony with ecological limits and local institutional capacity. This study aims to analyse agrotourism assets, development constraints, and community readiness in Labuan Aji Village, Moyo Island, as well as to formulate a phased, conservation-based development framework. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design using Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA). A total of 30 informants were purposively selected, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews, two focused group discussions, five field observations, document review, and stakeholder validation. The data were analysed thematically and integrated with the five dimensions of the 2014 Community Readiness Model (CRM). An overall CRM score of 6.01 placed the community at Stage 6 (Initiation); "Knowledge of Issues" received the highest score of 6.42, while "Resources" had the lowest at 5.57. The RRA identified cashews, wild honey, Lar, natural attractions, local institutions, and guiding experience as key assets, with priority given to strengthening connectivity, processing, market access, coordination, and conservation governance. These findings support a strategy that emphasises institutional consolidation, biocultural value chains, capacity building, benefit sharing, monitoring, and phased implementation.]]>
