For this reason, it is necessary to group the potential oil palm producing areas to find out which areas produce palm oil in large or small quantities. Production shared is usually done based on the name of the oil palm producing district. Therefore, a method is needed to facilitate the grouping of oil palm producing areas. With the clustering approach, the division of regional groups can be carried out based on planted area and production. Analysis K-Means makes it easier to group an area with the largest, medium and low yields of oil palm. From the analysis results, it can be seen that the priority areas for oil palm rejuvenation in Bengkulu Province are Mukomuko District with locations in Air Rami, Pondok Suguh, Teramang Jaya and Penarik Districts.

This commodity has become the backbone of the economy for most farmer households in Bengkulu Province (Sukiyono et al, 2017). Most of the oil palm plantations in Bengkulu are smallholder plantations. The area of oil palm planted in Bengkulu Province reaches 208,627.11 ha (BPS Bengkulu Province, 2020). This area accounts for 50.36% of the plantation area in Bengkulu Province. Oil palm planted areas are not evenly distributed in all districts. The largest district is Mukomuko Regency. Oil palm plantations in Mukomuko District began to develop since 2000, this shows that the age of oil palm trees in this district is relatively old and production tends to decline. Oil palm production over the age of 16 tends to decline (Wibowo and Junaedi, 2017; Pahan, 2008). For this reason, it is necessary to make oil palm rejuvenation efforts in this district. The location of replanting must be in accordance with the proportion of the existing land area. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze the planting area and production based on district clusters even down to the sub-district level. Determination of priority locations can be done using cluster analysis. Cluster analysis is an analysis that is used to group observations or variables into several groups of observations or variables whose numbers are more little based on characteristics (Wardhani, 2016; Setiawan, 2016; Yulianto and Hidayatullah, 2014). The benefit of cluster analysis is that it helps in developing a generalization method inductively, namely making general conclusions based on specific facts and describing the characteristics or characteristics of each group (Windarto, 2017; Hajar et al, 2020; Suhaeni, 2018 ; Alfina et al, 2012).
