The imposed ad valorem tariff of Indonesia cocoa beans was investigated in order to know whether the domestic market is ready or not to absorb the quantity supply of cocoa beans, when the export demand quantity declined. This study used Cochrane-Orcutt iterative model to identify which predictor variable significantly affects the demand of Indonesia cocoa beans supply. The Cochrane-Orcut Iterative model is an appropriate estimation on this analysis, where the domestic price of cocoa beans, world price of cocoa beans, and taxes have significant impact to cocoa beans demand of Indonesia while the income per-capita and world palm oil price didn’t have impact to cocoa beans demand of Indonesia. This study concluded that the ad valorem tax tariff of cocoa beans has positive effect on the cocoa beans demand. This study is conducted in order to give suggestion for the government to regulate policy for cocoa beans industry.
