<![CDATA[Agro-industry is a processing industry that contributes significantly to the economy of Jambi Province. The agro-industry in Jambi Province is primarily based on plantations. Plantations in Jambi Province produce agro-commodities that are used as raw materials for the agro-industry. The purpose of the research is to determine the superior agro-industry based on the people's economy and then formulate appropriate strategies for the sustainable economic development of Jambi Province. The research methods applied were quantitative-descriptive and observational methods. Meanwhile, the analysis models used were the TOPSIS analysis model to determine the superior agro-industry and the TOPSIS-SWOT analysis model to formulate the development strategies. The research results show that the cooking oil industry is selected as the superior agro-industry. The development strategies for the selected cooking oil industry include increasing the carrying capacity of oil palm plantations and CPO factories, establishing a CPO processing industry polytechnic, utilizing low-cholesterol technology for processed products derived from CPO, facilitating investment in environmentally friendly CPO factories, as well as increasing export quotas and domestic consumption control. The novelty of the research focuses on the development of agro-industries based on the criteria used in determining the superior agro-industry, including business units, workforce, production value, investment value, and turnover. The implications of the research require follow-up on the establishment of an agro-industrial polytechnic in Jambi Province, the growth and development of low-cholesterol and environmentally friendly cooking oil factories, as well as the increase in local exports and consumption.]]>
