The number of samples in this study was 473 rice farmers in Kurik District, Merauke Regency. Factors affecting rice production in Kurik District of Merauke Regency are land variables (0.312), seed variables (0.179), fertilizer variables (-0.143), and labor variables (0.290), while the dominant factor affecting rice production in Kurik District of Merauke Regency is the land variable (0.312). In this study, the factors that influence rice production have low values. Therefore, it is necessary to research to find other variables that significantly influence rice production in Kurik District, Merauke Regency.
