<![CDATA[The development of the horticulture subsector in Banyuwangi Regency has not yet focused on specific superior perennial fruit commodities, leading to inefficient allocation of regional resources. This study aims to formulate public policy priorities by ranking superior perennial fruits as a basis for effective horticultural development direction. The methodology employed is a quantitative approach based on the Delphi method, involving 15 experts from the Agriculture and Food Service of Banyuwangi Regency, along with secondary data analysis from relevant agencies. Instruments in the form of criteria weighting questionnaires and commodity assessments were analysed using the geometric mean to produce the final ranking. The results indicate that durian and mangosteen occupy the top ranks as superior perennial fruits, with final scores of 4.07 and 4.00 respectively. Both commodities demonstrate agroecological suitability, high productivity, strong market demand, and robust local policy support. The main policy recommendation is enhancing farmer capacity through structured training and extension, expanding access to finance, and developing a market price information system. The contribution of this research lies in providing an evidence-based prioritisation framework for local government to manage agricultural policy innovation under fiscal constraints.]]>
