This analysis identifies land suitability for glutinous paddy farming in southern Java, suggesting significant potential for crops under environmental stress.
The results indicated that the southern Java region is primarily classified as marginally suitable (S2), comprising 48.96% of the area (3,407.7 km²), followed by moderately suitable (S3) at 40.59% (2,825.3 km²). In contrast, the areas classified as not suitable (N) and highly suitable (S1) were relatively similar, comprising 5.55% (386.4 km²) and 4.90% (341.4 km²), respectively. Therefore, this region is presented a significant opportunity for cultivating glutinous rice, allowing for the productive use of less fertile land in Indonesia’s glutinous rice production.
