Transformation process between dudukuhan types
cause farmers to start harvesting when timber trees are 3 years old. Farmers
frequently fill the gaps created by timber harvesting by planting fruit trees, which
are maintained for many years. This process transforms timber systems to fruit-
timber-banana-annual crops systems and leads to fruit tree basal area becoming
greater than that of timber trees. It also demonstrates farmers' preference for sys-
tems that provide for short-term, medium-term and long-term needs. Elevation has
a significant influence on the number of fruit and timber species in timber systems.
Market opportunities for fruit are higher in downstream areas of Nanggung. Market
opportunities for timber are higher in the upstream areas, which support the opera-
tion of six sawmills. To address those opportunities, farmers prefer to enrich timber
dudukuhan systems with fruit species in downstream areas and with timber species
in upland areas.
