Abstract

The cocoa area in Indonesia has declined in recent years due to land conversion. The conversion of cocoa lands into oil palm is one of the causes of this happening. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the conversion of cocoa lands into oil palm in Asahan District of North Sumatra. The factors influencing the conversion of cocoa lands into oil palm were analyzed by binary logistic regression. The results showed the variables that have the positive and significant influence were the land size, the cocoa pests and diseases attack, and the farm income, and the variable that has the negative and significant influence was the cocoa farming experience.
