Abstract. Along with the development of time and the increasing population, the amount of food needed is also increasing. The increase in population growth is not proportional to the availability of land caused by land conversion into settlement land. The area for maize cultivation in Takalar regency reaches 9.208 ha with maize production reaching 55.973 tons. Maize production is still below the optimal maize production which reached 73.664 tons. This study aims to determine of determinants factors to maize production on dry land in Takalar Regency. T v he research used method analyze of land capability by Arsyad which was processed using the Analythic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results of this study show that the determinant factor of maize production on dry land in Takalar Regency is the economic aspect with R / C ratio ranging from 2.95 to 6.13 where if the R / C ratio> 1 is feasible
