This research was conducted in North Luwu Regency to analyze the sustainability of cocoa plantation smallholders based on an assessment of the index and the sustainability status using the Rap-Cocoa technique with the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method. The data used are primary and secondary. The primary data were obtained from direct interviews with farmers and some cocoa experts. The secondary data were obtained from the Statistics Indonesia, ministry of agriculture Republic of Indonesia, and literature that supported this research. The results of the Rap-Cocoa ordination technique with the MDS method indicated that the sustainability index value of cocoa plantation smallholders in the North Luwu Regency ranges from 38.81-57.32. The four regions on North Luwu Regency respectively are Masamba, Sabbang, Babeunta, and Mappedeceng subdistricts are on sustainable category status and for two regions are Malangke Barat and Sukamaju subdistricts are less sustainable. The index value and sustainability status of cocoa plantation smallholders in North Luwu Regency on each dimension indicated that the three dimensions (economic, social and environment) specify Baebunta subdistrict as a relatively large index value in two dimensions compared to the other five subdistricts, respectively social (47.87) and environment (63.27).
