Abstract
The development of the Agroindustrial Area is directed to Dua Koto District, Pasaman Regency. Dua Koto Subdistrict has superior commodities to be developed for food crops, horticulture, plantations, and industrial plants. Potato plants are horticultural crops and are able to live well in highland locations (>800 m asl), as well as coffee plantations, areca nut, and citronella can grow well from the middle to the highlands. Oil palm and rubber plantations turned out to be unprofitable. The purpose of the activity was to analyze soil and environmental conditions on the potential for the development of biodiversity for several superior products to reach the agro-industrial area. This research activity was carried out using survey methods and interviews with the community and village officials. From the results of the discussion, it was concluded that Oxisol and Ultisol soil types in the Cubadak village, Dua Koto sub-district, which are in the highlands (> 800 m asl) is suitable for potato development with the addition of sufficient organic matter and artificial fertilizers. Oil palm and rubber plants will be not recommended to be planted or included in the agroforestry pattern in the highlands, because they are not suitable for agro-climatic conditions. It is necessary to develop coffee plants in an agroforestry pattern as well as intercropping with potato plants. Planting distance of 50 x 50 cm citronella plants, with a selling price of Rp. 165,000/kg of fresh material, Feasibility reaches 18.68, with an average profit of Rp. 7,808,333,-/month/ha. There needs to be an efficient spacing of citronella plants with cutting slope planting techniques, so that the production per hectare can exceed the average product in Indonesia, to reach an agro-industrial area.

Summary
Penelitian telah dilaksanakan pada Oktober 2021, di Kecamatan Dua Koto Kabupaten Pasaman, yang berjarak 159 km dari kota Padang. Kegiatann survey sudah dilakukan ke lahan pertanian yang dikembangkan berbagai komoditi dan tanaman yang memiliki permasalahan di lapangan. Survey dan evaluasi kesesuaian kecocokan tanah dan agroklimat khusus kentang. Pada pelaksanaannya survey dan evaluasi lahan telah dilakukan dengan tinjauan langsung ke lapangan, dengan membuat potret kesesuaian dan kecocokan tanah serta agroklimat khusus untuk tanaman kentang. Alat dan bahan yang digunakan adalah, pH meter lapangan, foto profil tanah, ketinggian tempat lokasi kegiatan dan suhu udara. Untuk pengujian pengembangan kawasan agroforestry dan serai wangi, adalah melihat potensi tanaman endemik dan tanaman introduksi yang tumbuh serta kemampuan produksinya. Penetapan pH meter dilakukan langsung dilapangan dengan menancapkan alat dalam keadaan bersih pada tanah yang lembab, kemudian dibenam semua bagian metal electroda tip sampai tanda. Analisis hasil survey di lapangan dengan membandingkan jenis tanah, cropping system, pH, vegetasi, iklim (suhu), ketinggian tempat, dan analisis feasibility usaha tani
