Indonesia is a country that is famous as a producer of spices. The most widely produced type of pepper in Indonesia is black pepper from Lampung or Lampung Black Pepper. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of farmers and pepper farming in Lampung Province and analyze the factors that influence pepper productivity in Lampung Province. Based on the available data, the characteristics of farmers that can be used to assess the managerial ability of farmers are the level of education, age of farmers, control of assets and production facilities, and farming methods. The dependent variable (Y) in the study is Pepper Productivity, and the independent variables are land area, fertilizer, plant age, labour, planting system dummy, and the main seed variety used dummy. The variables in this study were modelled with the Cobb-Douglas production function. The farming scale of Lampung Pepper farmers is in a constant return to scale condition with a production elasticity value of Ep = 1.06, which means that the proportion of additional production inputs will result in additional production in the same proportion. The results showed that area, age of planting, and labour are statistically significant variables affecting pepper productivity at a significant level of 10%.
