The main objective of this research were to analyze acreage response of agricultural investments in Jambi soybean production. Study was conducted in Jambi province using secondary data from 1986 – 2017. Acreage response functional form was used to explain and analysis problem of acreage response of soybean production in Jambi. Study was done in 2018. A method of measuring price expectation for analyzing acreage response is used when the influence of price support and market phenomena varies with market conditions. It assumes that the effect of changes in government policies because similar programs for acreage control and price support are likely form of future policies. A method of evaluating support and acreage restriction is developed and tested to see the impact of changing government programs. The results showed that when the support price is much below the expected market price, the truncation effect is negligible and the price support program has only a limited impact on acreage decisions. Alternatively, as the support price levels, the truncation effects become larger, and the resulting impact on acreage decisions is more pronounced.
