The method used was descriptive analysis focusing on three main variables: price trends, productivity, and financial ratio analysis for the two commodities, including comparing production costs, income, and profitability. The results show that rubber prices have decreased significantly over the last ten years, while palm oil prices have not. The financial ratio analysis shows that palm oil has a better ratio value than rubber, which means that the palm oil business can continue to survive and develop consistently and promisingly.

An uncultivated plantation is an abandoned land caused by factors limiting the carrying capacity of the land and the completeness or condition of the plantation infrastructure so that the condition is overgrown with weeds and shrubs. The plantation area in question is an area that has not been attached to land rights and already has a permit/concession/business license that is deliberately not cultivated or not utilized. Indonesia has a plantation area of 26.5 thousand hectares, and 4.5% is an abandoned land that is not utilized. Thus, it is necessary to control this plantation land by government regulation. It can be utilized optimally by the community and the state. This land can be utilized by the crop-livestock integration approach.
