Abstract

The production of food crop in Banten Province, Indonesia consists of paddy, maize, soybeans, peanuts, green beans, cassava and sweet potatoes. These food crops production is assumed to be closely related to temperature and rainfall. The aim of research was to know the temperature and rainfall as well as the potential for food crop production. To achieve this goal, the researcher used projection of temperature and rainfall using the Gumbel method. The results of the analysis show that every year the temperature increases by 0.130C while the rainfall is 39.14 mm. Based on the increase in temperature and rainfall in the next 25 years, Banten Province still has potential for the development of paddy, maize and cassava production. Referring to the area and productivity of each of these types of plants, Lebak Regency is more potential for paddy production and Pandeglang Regency is more potential for the development of maize production.
