【 摘 要 】

Non-timber forest product is one of the forest resources, which is directly related to the people who live nearby the forest. Non-timber forest products, such as candlenut, increase the income of people who live around the forest. Candlenut is a potentially developed commodity. This study aimed to determine the candlenut marketing channel. Data collection techniques used in this study were purposive sampling and snowball sampling. The results showed that there were four candlenut marketing channels in Gundaling Village, Gunung Sitember Subdistrict, Dairi District. The marketing agencies involved were farmers, village collectors, sub-district traders, wholesalers and retailers. Processing canlenut from raw to peeled candlenut increased the value-added but there was only one farmer (3,3%) processed the raw candlenut into carnel. It was found that marketing channels II, IIIa, IIIb were efficient, but the most efficient channel was Channel IIIa, because it had the smallest cost margin, and the longest profit margin, and the profit was spread throughout intermediary traders.
