Abstract

This research aims to analyze the efficiency of forest harvesting by calculating the technical efficiency and economic efficiency on forest harvesting in Bone Regency. The data required in this study were collected using observation and interview methods which then analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that the average technical efficiency of harvesting activities ranges from 75,56% to 96,98% with an overall average of 82,89%. The amount of actual average volume per tree is between 0,235 to 0,527 m3 with an overall average of 0,355 m3. The highest efficiency value was in the Lilina Ajangale location (96.98%) and the lowest was in the Bila 1 location (75.56%). Furthermore, the economic efficiency value (Efe) of the average harvesting activity ranged from 64,63% to 87,02% with an average of 81,41%. This value means that the lower the harvesting cost, the more efficient it is economically, and vice versa. The lowest Efe value was found in Seberang Village that 64,63% and the highest was in Bila 1 Village with a value of 87,02%.
