Abstract. Ap AT, Wahyudi, Hendri, Allo AG, Warsito AP. 2026. Prioritization and feasibility analysis of non-timber forest products for green economy development in Papua Province, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 9: y090103. https://doi.org/10.13057/asianjethnobiol/y090103. The utilization of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) is one option for green economy development in Papua Province due to their sustainability on forest ecosystem, low emissions and livelihood suitability of local communities. This research is aimed to identify NTFPs inside forest, investigate the processes of making raw materials into semi-finished and finished products, and select priority commodities for green economy development using Benefit and Cost Analysis. Data were collected from field survey and focus group discussions at twelve locations involving 112 respondents. Results indicate that 61 NTFPs inside forest are identified with seven NTFPs are developed into semi-processed commodities, three processed commodities, and 48 finished commodities. Eight finished NTFPs are prioritized for green economic commodities, including sago products, cacao powder, coffee powder, eucalyptus oil, honey, ant nest tea, agarwood leaf tea, and eco prints. Feasibility analysis shows that high priority NTFP commodities include eco prints, ant nest tea and coffee powder with B/C Ratio of 3.94, 2.56, and 1.53, respectively, while sago products have medium priority with B/C Ratio of 1.18, and the rests have low priority due to B/C ratio <1.0. Average score based on green economy variables is 82% with the highest value (94%) for eco prints followed by sago products (90%), attaining ecological benefits, added values and challenges. Ant nest tea and coffee powder with average of 87% fulfil variables related to community direct involvement, extra incomes and works, and environmental values. The findings of this study recommend that the four NTFPs (i.e. eco prints, ant nest tea, coffee powder and sago products) could be nominated for green economy development in Papua Province.
