Abstract

This study aims to determine eminent commodity plantations in East Kolaka, Indonesia, with consideration criteria
leading the commodities to include cocoa, coffee, coconut, and palm oil as alternatives. The method used is analytical hierarchy
process (AHP) based on Expert Choice 11 software. The AHP is a method of decision-making on the problem of determining
priority options from various alternatives. The use of AHP begins by creating a hierarchical structure of the problem to be
studied. The pairwise comparison matrix is used to form relationships in the structure. In the pairwise comparison matrix, the
weight of each criterion is sought by normalizing the pairwise comparison matrix. The maximum eigenvalues and normalized
eigenvectors will be obtained from the matrix. In the process of determining the hierarchical weighting factor as well as the
evaluation factor, a consistency test must be carried out with CR<0.100. The relative weighing of selection criteria was: eligible
for business development (EBD) 26.7%, contribution to community income (CCI) 18.0%, value-added (VA) 13.3%, local
government policy (LGP) 11.0%, land suitability (LS) 10.5%, market orientation (MO) 10.7%, and 9.7% towards
environmentally-friendly (TEF) criteria. The relative selection rates of the leading commodities in East Kolaka Regency, were
cocoa (52.7%), oil palm (18.6%), coconut (13.9%), and coffee (14.7%).
