Abstract
Communities living surrounding forest have used state forest for grazing area in East Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, Indonesia for a long time.  However, Indonesia government have not given them a permit for managing state forest. Government will involve communities in state forest management   to generate people income but government ,as a principal, was worried that the communities, as agent,  will act in the way contrary to the interest of government. We used a principal agent theory to analyze principal agent problems which will occur if communities manage state forest for silvopasture purpose. The research showed that there are some principal agent problems in silvopasture contract if government give communities a permit for silvopasture purpose, i.e. communities, as agent, are not willing to plant trees and keep forest. Government must control communities to prevent some principal-agent problems in silvopasture contract.
