Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, has significant potential for cashew development, but limited processing facilities and technology have resulted in low added value of the commodity. This study aims to analyze the planning requirements for a Cashew Nut Processing Plant in Muna Regency. A descriptive qualitative method with an architectural design analysis approach was used, covering site selection, production processes, space requirements, circulation, utilities, and waste management. The results indicate that Kawite-wite Village, Kabawo District, is suitable for development due to its proximity to raw materials, accessibility, spatial planning conformity, and favorable site conditions. The study provides a basis for developing an architectural concept that supports cashew value addition, agro-industrial development, and the local economy.
