Palm oil has become the most widely used vegetable oil in the world. The first physical task of the planting area is the preparation of the oil palm plantation field. Oil palm plantations necessitate land suitability research to assess if the land is appropriate and profitable. Crop production more competitive when a future land potential is assessed. Farmers’ lack of understanding of the nature of the field and the varieties of fruit to be planted renders determining their land’s suitability difficult. This study aims to develop a decision-support system for oil palm land suitability based on multicriteria analysis using the Preference Rating Organization Method for Enrichment Assessment (PROMETHEE) method. This method works by performing calculations based on the properties of each criterion. Based on seven metrics, alternative eight was determined to be the best location, with a net flow of 0.2143, accompanied by alternatives 1 and 6. Alternative seven, with a net flow of - 0.1786, was the least suggested.
