Methods of data collection using field research and literature. The population and the sample is a land unit and village units. Land units determine the suitability of land. The village unit collects socio economic data. The analysis technique used Location Question, Shift Share, Focus Group Discussion and spatial analysis. Spatial analysis using Arc GIS. The findings can be used to mitigate future food problems and analyze policies. The results showed rice plants has S1 class (Very Suitable). Corn, chili, orange and banana land suitability S2 (Suitable), onion is S3 (Marginal Suitable). Priority 1 rice commodity in Ayuang Village. Priority 2 Corn in Banua Binjai.
