Abstract
The oil palm plantation sector is the largest investment in Siak Regency. However, with the fall in the price of palm oil, making farmers suffer losses in the management of plantation land. However, from the agricultural sector it is more profitable for farmers. For example, from the comparison of chilli prices of Rp. 45,000 per kg up to Rp. 80,000 per kg. while the price of oil palm is only a price range of Rp. 500 / kg up to Rp. 1,000 / kg. Seeing the above phenomenon, Siak Regency people flocked to switch investments from the plantation sector to the agricultural sector. This is also because the comparison of 1 (one) Ha (hectare) palm oil plantations with 1 (one) Ha (hectare) rice farming is more profitable for farmers in the agricultural sector.
