Abstract

Palm sugar (Arenga pinnata) has strong economic potential due to its adaptability to various soil types and its ability to produce multiple products. In the community forest area of HKm Giri Madia, Lingsar Subdistrict, West Lombok, the potential for cultivation is high. This study shows that palm farmers earn an average annual net income of IDR 30,544,321 from palm sugar production, making it a key livelihood source. Processing adds value: IDR 3,280 for traditional sugar, IDR 69,000 for crystal sugar (gula semut), and IDR 18,000 for briquette sugar. With a Revenue-Cost Ratio of 2.6, the business is profitable and worth expanding. Enhancing palm sugar development could improve the economic resilience of farmers and the broader local community
