Abstract: Indonesia is a tropical country that has the fourth largest level of mango commodity production in the world, with a contribution rate of 4.8% to world mango production. One of its production centers in the Province of West Java. West Java has many opportunities and potential to develop the mango agribusiness sector. This study aims to see the extent of the development of mango agribusiness in West Java Province, thus providing an overview of the carrying capacity of the mango agribusiness subsystem in dealing with various current agricultural economic problems. The research method uses a survey method. The data analysis of this research used descriptive statistical analysis. The selection of the research location was done by using multi cluster random sampling method. Four mango production centers were selected as sample locations, namely Indramayu, Cirebon, Majalengka and Kuningan districts. Respondents in this study amounted to 200 farmers who were taken randomly. The results of the study illustrate that farmers are facing a significant increase in the price of production factors, facing the problem of decreasing production and productivity from the mango farming results. However, even so the condition of the marketing and supporting subsystems is still in a good state of development, so that mango farming carried out by farmers is still profitable and feasible to continue to be developed.
