Pineapple is one of the peat-friendly plants in fire prevention and peatland restoration. The nature and characteristics of the soil are the basis for developing sustainable agroecology. This study aims to create a visualization module of pineapple agro-ecological suitability in peatland. This study uses a Fuzzy inference system to determine the suitability of pineapple land. It visualizes the results in the study area of Kampar District, Riau Province, Indonesia using ArcGIS online. This study resulted in peatlands’ agro-ecological suitability with three limiting factors, particularly climate, soil, and peat characteristics. Based on the climate factors, Kampar District is moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3) for cultivating pineapple. Based on the soil factors, Kampar District is an unsuitable class (N), moderately suitable (S2), and marginally suitable (S3) for cultivating pineapple. Kampar District is an unsuitable class (N), moderately suitable (S2), and marginally suitable (S3) for cultivating pineapple based on peat characteristics. Analysis of the agro-ecological suitability of peatlands and pineapple productivity in Kampar District concluded that the land suitability was moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3) categories. This study’s results are expected to be used as decision support in increasing the productivity of pineapple in peatlands in the Kampar District.
