Jakarta and Banten, is currently derived from community forests (HR), timber industrial estates (HTI) and the Natural Forest (HA). When the supply of logs from natural forests has decreased while the production of timber industrial estates is not reliable, then the community forest is expected to play an important role as a supplier of wood both for domestic and export industry. Circulation of the community timber in the western part of Java island, still not yet known so that we made the study of the circulation timber trade system. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution chain trade system and the marketing margin of the community timber in the western part of Java island namely West Java, DKI Jakarta and Banten.
