Produksi kayu bulat yang berasal dari hutan rakyat memberikan kontribusi yang positif dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pasokan bahan baku industri nasional. Sertifikasi SVLK hutan rakyat terus didorong oleh pemerintah agar tidak menjadi celah pada sistem legalitas kayu yang telah dibangun secara multi-pihak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis biaya sertifikasi SVLK hutan rakyat; menganalisis kemampuan dan kemauan membayar petani hutan rakyat; menganalisis pengaruh hutan rakyat serta manfaat SVLK terhadap pendapatan dan matapencaharian petani; menganalisis manfaat sertifikasi SVLK terhadap volume panen kayu; dan memperoleh konsep sertifikasi SVLK bagi hutan rakyat yang berkelanjutan dengan pendekatan kemampuan membayar petani. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan metode gabungan. Pengambilan data melalui kuesioner dan wawancara dilakukan kepada petani hutan, perwakilan pemerintah dan pihak swasta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan membayar dan keinginan membayar pada kedua KTH rendah terhadap biaya sertifikasi SVLK sehingga disimpulkan kelompok petani hutan belum mampu membayar biaya tambahan sertifikasi SVLK dalam pengusahaan hutan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah kemampuan membayar terhadap sertifikasi SVLK oleh petani mempengaruhi keberlanjutan penerapan sertifikasi SVLK sehingga diperlukan dukungan dari pasar dan peran mitra.
