ABSTRACT
This study aims to formulate strategies for developing coffee-based agroforestry in Sultan Adam Forest Park, South Kalimantan, which faces pressures from deforestation and conventional farming practices. Coffee-based agroforestry was chosen as a solution to maintain ecosystem sustainability while improving local community welfare. The research was conducted in Tiwingan Baru Village over four months using interviews, field observations, and SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The SWOT analysis revealed key strengths, including favorable geographical and climatic conditions, high community interest in coffee cultivation, land availability, and crop resistance to pests. Major weaknesses include limited cultivation techniques, low performance of farmer groups, and inadequate infrastructure. Opportunities consist of government support, expansive markets, and agrotourism potential, while threats such as fluctuating coffee prices, competition from other regions, and the entry of external coffee varieties pose significant challenges. Proposed strategies include optimizing government support for coffee cultivation, enhancing product quality through new technologies, strengthening local coffee branding, and leveraging agrotourism to diversify income. This study recommends integrating plans for coffee development, agro-tourism, and forest conservation, as well as increasing multi-stakeholder involvement to support the economic and ecological sustainability of Sultan Adam Forest Park.
