Abstract: Kampar regency is one of the districts in Riau province which contributes significantly to the economy in Riau Province, especially in the agricultural sector in the plantation sector. Rubber plantations are a source of prosperity, progress, independence, and pride of Kampar district government. Plantation management at present still relies on and relies on the abundance of human resources are relatively cheap. Efficiency, productivity, quality, sustainability are still low. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of rubber production in Kampar regency by building multiple linear regression model and production efficiency analysis. The results showed that the dominant factors affecting rubber production in Kampar Regency were number of plants, plant age, number of labor and investment. The factors of production are the number of plants, and the amount of labor is not technically efficient, allocative, and economical. The use of fertilizers tends to be technically and economically efficient, but alocatively inefficient. In order to obtain optimal production, this study recommends the need for rejuvenation of old or damaged rubber plants using superior seeds and maintained in accordance with the standards of rubber cultivation techniques. The efficient use of labor can be achieved by applying a rubber tapping system appropriately tailored to the conditions of the plant and the price of rubber. In addition, the use of balanced fertilizers in accordance with the recommended should be applied
