The types and sources of data are primary and secondary data. Data analysis is descriptive and quantitative data analysis. Analysis of the factors' effects of production used the Cobb-Douglas production function model. The results show that the factors of production that affect taro production are land area, seeds, fertilizer, labor, sample age, and farming experience, while herbicides, length of education does not affect the production. The dominant production factors affecting taro production are labor, seeds, fertilizer, sample age, farming experience. The elasticity value of taro production is 1,264; technically, the use of production factors is still on the Increasing Return to Scale. It means that the use of inputs is still possible to be added so that taro production can increase.
