Abstract

Forest and land rehabilitation (Rehabilitasi hutan dan lahan/RHL) through the Community Nursery Program (Kebun Bibit Rakyat/KBR) provides high-quality seedlings, enhances land productivity, and supports community empowerment. Nagari Rao-Rao, Sungai Tarab Subdistrict, Tanah Datar Regency, is one of the program implementation sites, involving the Sejahtera Farmers Group. This study aims to evaluate the performance of plantings produced under the KBR program from 2014 to 2025 and to assess their impacts on the socio-economic conditions of the local community. The study employed a descriptive method with an evaluative approach. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis. The observed parameters included the number of seedlings planted, survival rates, thinning practices, and contributions to farmers’ income. The results show that in 2014, a total of 25,000 seedlings were planted, consisting of 2,000 avocado seedlings, 2,000 durian seedlings, and 21,000 surian seedlings. The 2025 evaluation of the 2014 plantings indicates relatively high survival rates, with avocado at 80%, durian at 70%, and surian at 81%. Thinning activities also generated economic benefits, as members’ monthly income increased from IDR 1,000,000–2,000,000 to IDR 2,500,000–5,000,000. However, several challenges remain, including advanced age, low educational attainment, and limited access to technology and markets. In conclusion, the KBR program in Nagari Rao-Rao has successfully improved land productivity, household income, and environmental awareness. Nevertheless, the sustainability of its benefits requires continuous assistance, capacity-building programs, and strengthened access to markets and technology.
