<![CDATA[This study analyzes the dynamics of cocoa production and cultivated area over the past five years and assesses the resilience of cocoa farming in Harau District based on five key indicators. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using secondary data on cocoa area and production and primary data from a survey of 50 farmers. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale normalized into a resilience index. The results indicate that cocoa production and cultivated area tended to fluctuate and decline. Most farmers were classified as having low resilience (72%), followed by medium (23%) and high (5%). Program and policy support showed the lowest scores, followed by social networks and adaptive capacity. These findings suggest that cocoa farming in Harau District remains vulnerable and lacks sustainability, highlighting the need for strategic interventions through stronger farmer institutions, improved access to resources, technological innovation support, and more inclusive and sustainable policies.]]>
