Cocoa and oil palm are the leading plantation commodities that have been cultivated by farmers in Sebatik Island of Nunukan Regency. However, in its development during 2013-2019 there has been a decrease in the area of cocoa land caused by the conversion of land from cocoa to oil palm. This study aimed to analyse the factors that influence the conversion of cocoa land into oil palm in Sebatik Island of Nunukan Regency. The sampling method used a combination of purposive sampling and convenience sampling. Data analysis has used binary logistic regression. The results showed that the factors that have significantly influenced farmers decisions to change land use are land size and cocoa pest and disease attacks, and the factors that did not significantly influence the decision of farmers to change land use were age, level of education and income. Through related institutions, it’s necessary to conduct agricultural counselling and training to overcome the problems of pests and diseases that cause the conversion of farmers land.References
