Abstrak: Cianjur Regency has 92.534 ha of dry land areas designated for cultivation, and 52% of dry land is located in the southern area (Bappeda Cianjur Reg@r, 2011). The dry land is commonly used for such purposes as household yards'::I:rainfed agriculture, upland/plantation and open grassland, while the remaiing is bare land therefore the dry land has not been used optimally. The main 8Jmmodities of dry land farming are cassava, maize, upland rice, and beans. The dW land in southern Cianjur is cultivated by intercropping. Cianjur is center of casSava production. The harvested cassava in Cianjur reached 7.881 ha in 2012 and 6􀁻26 ha in 2013, 37% of the area is located in the southern area. Cassava comrm;nly processed for directly consumed food products, such as tape and chips.

Cassava has important role to meet the food needs and industrial devel􀁽ment. Cassava value added could be realized through agribusiness devel􀁾ment therefore contribute to regional development. [IlAccording to the text above, it is necessary to know how large the cassava produ8tion potential which determined by considering the availability of suitable land 􀁿d cassava productivity of intercropping patterns cultivation. Therefore it can be estimated industry requirement to absorb all cassava production for raw material. It is important to analyze financial feasibility of the cassava industry in order to assess the profit and region value added. It's expected that the subject above could formulate cassava agribusiness direction in order to regional development in southern part of cianjur regency. The objective of the study were: 1) to analyze the land suitability and land availability for the development of cassava based on spatial techniques in Geographic Information Systems; 2) to analyze cassava farm business by intercropping cultivation; 3) to analyze farmers opinion and experts opinion on the development of cassava agribusiness 4) to analyEij financial feasibility of cassava processing technologies and its cont􀂀tion to Cianjur regency value, and 5) to formulate cassava agribusiness direJ§>n in order to regional development. -,Availability dry land for Cassava farming in Cianjur southern region was 10.05»ha or 11,36% of the suitability land. The two largest area of availability landtmere marginally suitable (S3) at shrub (25,14%) and marginally suitable at dry l􀂁@ (20,16%). Cassava in South Cianjur is commonly cultivated on dry land by i􀀃rcropping.
