Abstract
The objective of this study was to present empirical evidence about the sustainability of cocoa farming in Indonesia and how decisions are made in producing cocoa beans. This study used a survey method involving a questionnaire for collecting data. The results showed that the sustainability of cocoa farming was determined by weak sustainable ecological factors (46.07%), moderately sustainable socioeconomic factors (54.43%), moderately sustainable technological factors (55.95%), moderately sustainable factors that help farmers in cocoa farming (59.60%), and weak sustainable factors in cocoa farming families' futures (47.52%). To increase the sustainability of cocoa farming, the current study found that farmer education, cocoa crop rejuvenation, cocoa pest and disease control, cleanliness and quality of cocoa beans, cocoa productivity, institutions, extension, technology, credit availability, and stability of cocoa bean prices are the most important factors to be improved.
