Regional development usually start with identifying regional potencys. Defining a local potencies such as primary agricultural commodities is a basic capital in developing regional economic. The concept of determination is pointed by Barlowe (1986), which include bio-physically suitable, economically feasible and institutionally acceptable. The approach (analysis) used in this research is Geographic Information System (GIS), commodity base analysis (LQ), differential shift (SSA), gross margin (GM), distance to market location, process hierarchy analysis (AHP), and multicriteria land index. This research is located in transmigration area of Rawa Pitu Sub District, Tulang Bawang Regency, Indonesia. This research aims to identify basic commodities for each village. The results shows that several land parameters which include land suitability and accessibility, comodity parameters which include LQ and SSA as well as economic parameters which include GM can be used to determine primary commodity in a region. They composed what we call as multicriteria land index. There were some basic commodities identified using such index, which include paddy, maize, rubber, and oil-palm. Paddy is a primary comodities in certain villages. Whereas maize and oil palm is a primary comodities in another villages. Rubber is not a primary comodities in any village.
