Mount Arjuna is a mountainous area with forests and several cultivated plants located in Malang Regency, East Java. The forest is a complex area that is used as a protected area, research and production forest for agricultural commodities. The complex is located in the forest resulted in highly varied environmental conditions. The forest consists of several areas, namely protected forest, production forest, coffee plantation, and seasonal plantations. The Arjuna mountain area has several stands including pine and mahogany, but most of it is filled with pines by 90% and mahogany trees around 10%. Most of the coffee plants found in the Arjuna mountain forest area are Arabica coffee, while the rest is robusta coffee. This research was conducted on the slopes of Mount Arjuna, located in Sumbersari Village, Karangploso District, Malang Regency, East Java. This research was conducted from July to October 2017. This research employed a survey method by taking several sample points that represent the coffee plants in the area. Several sampling plots for land suitability analysis were identified in the area: The observation stages were carried out by taking air temperature data using a thermohygrometer by taking the minimum and maximum temperature data, taking air humidity using a thermohigrometer as well as minimum and maximum data and light intensity data using lux meters, taking soil samples to measure nutrients and soil fertility, and measuring the height and slope of the land. The results of the observations that have been made will be analyzed using the land suitability analysis method, by adjusting the area's data with the land suitability level for robusta and arabica coffee plants.Gunung Arjuna merupakan kawasan pegunungan dengan hutan serta beberapa tanaman budidaya yang terletak di Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Hutan tersebut merupakan kawasan kompleks yang dimanfaatkan sebagai kawasan lindung, riset dan juga hutan produksi untuk komoditas pertanian. Kondisi hutan yang kompleks mengakibatkan kondisi lingkungan tersebut sangat bervariatif. Hutan terdiri dari beberapa kawasanya, yaitu hutan lindung, hutan produksi, perkebunan kopi serta kawasan tanaman semusim. Kawasan gunung Arjuna memiliki beberapa tegakan diantaranya pinus dan mahoni namun sebagian besar dipenuhi oleh pinus sebesar 90% dan pohon mahoni berkisar 10%. Sebagian besar tanaman kopi yang terdapat pada kawasan hutan gunung Arjuna adalah jenis kopi arabika sedangkan sisanya adalah kopi robusta. Penelitian ini dilakukan di kawasan lereng Gunung Arjuna, Terletak di Desa Sumbersari, Kecamatan Karangploso, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Penelitian ini akan dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli–Oktober 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan mengambil beberapa titik sampel yang mewakili yang mewakili tanaman kopi di kawasan tesebut. Beberapa plot sampel pengambilan sampel untuk analisis kesesuaian lahan diidentifikasi pada kawasan: Adapun tahapan pengamatan yang dilakukanya itu pengambilan data suhu udara menggunakan termohigrometer dengan mengambil data suhu minimum dan maksimum, pengambilan kelembapan udara dengan alat termohigrometer juga data minimum dan maksimum serta data intensitas cahaya menggunakan lux meter, pengambilan sampel tanah untuk mengukur hara serta kesuburan tanah, mengukur ketinggian serta tingkat kelerengan lahan. Hasil pengamatan yang telah dilakukan akan dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis kesesuaian lahan, dengan menyesuaikan data kawasan tersebut dengan tingkat kesesuaian lahan untuk tanaman kopi robusta dan arabika.

Land evaluation for irrigation is the process of predicting land use potential on the basis of soil attributes. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) framework for land suitability evaluation is the most commonly used and is based on the biophysical properties of lands. The FAO framework method for land suitability application Boolean approach that has been criticized by some researchers. Because the Boolean representations ignore the continuous nature of soil and uncertainties in measurement and also its inability for overcoming problems related to vagueness in definition and other uncertainties, fuzzy set methodologies have been proposed. In the present study, the qualitative land suitability evaluation for sprinkler irrigation using parametric-based FAO learning and fuzzy inference system was carried out in an area of 5175 ha in Northwest Iran. By overlaying the layers (soil texture, soil depth, lime, electric conductivity, drainage, and slope) and use of spatial data modeler in ArcGIS 9.3, land evaluation maps for sprinkler irrigation were provided for the area under study. Results showed that based on the parametric approach, 1598 ha of the study area were classified as highly suitable (S1 class) for sprinkler irrigation; the area of highly suitable lands in the parametric method was about five times the area of highly suitable lands obtained through the fuzzy method. In addition, the two methods were completely different in determining moderately suitable lands (S2). Accordingly, 787 ha in the area was moderately suitable using the parametric method, which was about two times that obtained through the fuzzy method. This showed the significant difference between two methods applied to evaluate the lands. Moreover, fuzzy approaches accommodate the continuous nature of some soil properties and produce more intuitive distributions of land suitability indexes.

The largest area of local coffee plantation in West Sumatera Province is in the District of Solok, that covers the area around 9,300 Ha, with the annual production of  8,500 Ton. There are two varieties of coffee in this District, arabica and robusta. The area of robusta coffee is around 7,700 Ha that are much larger than arabica  of 1,600 Ha. Although the price of arabica coffee is much higher than robusta, farmers prefer to cultivate robusta coffee mainly due to its resistance to plant diseases, low maintenance cost and higher demand compare to arabica coffee. Since the Robusta coffeeisthe second largest of local plantationaftercasiaverain Solok. There is a need for the district government to get a suitable development not only for the benefit of local farmers but also for regional development of Solok district itself. This study applied descriptif qualitative method to analyze the interrelationship of agribusiness sub-systems and its potential aspect. The results shows that the interrelationship of four subsystems of the agribusiness of Robusta coffeeagribusiness were not strong enough to face the influences from the external factors of the systems. This, then guided the recommendation to improve the competitiveness ofthe Robusta coffee, mainlyby increasingthe qualityand appearance of its market form and itsdairy products. Keywords: Robusta coffee, Solok-West Sumatera, Potential Aspect
