Abstract
The study aimed at using land resources efficiently and sustainably on an acid sulphate soil for pineapple cropping. In this research, descriptive statistical approach was used to assess the land usage land evaluation method (FAO, 1976) was applied to classify land areas in suitability with pineapple production. The study identified 26-land mapping-units by the combination of specific maps of soil and water. Based on the land unit map and land use requirements of pineapple, the zoning of land suitability classification in the current for pineapple cultivation was established, including: high suitability area (19.072,0ha); moderate suitability area (1.210, 94 ha); marginal suitability area (944, 64 ha); and non suitability area (12.093, 31 ha). The result of study will provide a basis for planners and strategic planning of pineapple crops development for the district.
