The result of the study show that people of Tunagan practice various type of agricultural systems. From wet paddy field, garden, and the mix between paddy field and garden. Besides that, people of Tunagan also practice agriculture on forest land. This type of agricultural practice is known as agroforestry. The variousity of agroforestry produce creates different techniques and periods of harvest. People of Tunagan have different time periods for selling their harvest produce, therefore earing cash at differet times. But to go to the formal bank, they have to spend a lot time and money for walking and the ojeg ride.
