Agroforestry system has been recently developed by the community to meet their needs. However, many people do not understand yet to select suitability plants on the agroforestry land. This research aims to determine the land suitability of agroforestry components in Pangli sub-district, Sesean District, Toraja Regency. This research carried out in the way comparing the requirement of plants and characteristic at land. Plants in research location were Robusta coffee, cocoa, banana, mangos-teen, Buangin (pine-mountain), sugar palm, Betung bamboo, and Elmerilla Ovalis. The result of the research indicated that the land suitability of plants was moderately suitable (S2) to marginal suitable (S3). Limitation factors that limit plant growth are predominantly rainfall and also temperature, but both of these limiting factors are difficult, and they cannot be repaired.

The dusung farming pattern is the use of land by planting productive, economically valuable plants according to custom (culture-culture). Dusung farmers usually open land by planting short-term (3-9 months) types of plants in the form of vegetables and tubers, while long-term crops are planted continuously (1-5 years) as intercrops on the same land. Utilization of this land is carried out by always paying attention to the aspects of social sustainability and physical sustainability. Social preservation means that all family relatives depend on the long-term life they manage on the dusung land, while physical sustainability means that the long-term existence of plant species formed in the dusung land serves as a buffer for the ecosystem as well as the function of soil and water conservation that ensures the maintenance of the ecosystem in the dusung land. This encourages the author to conduct research that can provide an overview of the importance of maintaining the function of the dusung as an wanatani system (traditional agroforestry) which has always been maintained to this day.

Wanatani or Agroforestry in Maluku is commonly known as Dusung, which is the traditional use of land resources and its ecosystem. This farming system is associated with combining agricultural plants with forestry on a stretch of land, with harvest season numerous kinds of fruits. However, sometimes, these fruits are wasted, damaged, and are left indiscriminately without further processing. Therefore, research related to the distribution of fruit crops per ha, season, and opportunities for product diversification to improve the farming community’s welfare is needed. This is a qualitative and descriptive research, with data obtained through observation and interviews to determine farmers’ experience and knowledge on fruit crop cultivation and Wakal Village on Ambon Island. The results showed that each household, clan, or family covers an area of 40 ha. Furthermore, there are 10 types of fruit crop products that have economic value with an average of 0.5 - 5 ha of arable land owned by dusung farmers. Therefore, an alternative means of diversifying processed products to increase dusung farmers’ income needs to be developed.
