Kurik District is one of the rice centers in Merauke Regency, South Papua Province. From 2019 to 2023, the . If allowed to continue, it will result in food shortages. Therefore, it is necessary to identify factors that can increase rice production. This study aims to determine the factors that affect rice production and to determine the factors that have a dominant influence on rice production.  This research was conducted in Kurik District, Merauke Regency, from June to August 2023. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data was obtained from interviews, questionnaires, and observations. Secondary data is obtained from B.P.S. and other literature.
