Abstract: Agricultural mechanization plays a crucial role in enhancing productivity and efficiency in rice farming. This study, conducted in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan, evaluates the adequacy of agricultural machinery and the demand for key equipment, including hand tractors, power threshers, and combine harvesters. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to analyze distribution patterns, the study highlights a significant disparity between the availability and demand for these machines, with several sub-districts facing acute shortages. The analysis, based on paddy field areas and production capacities, demonstrates that insufficient mechanization hinders efficient land preparation, harvesting, and post-harvest processing. The results indicate that the limited supply of modern agricultural machinery adversely affects rice productivity and farmers' profitability in the region. The findings underscore the urgent need for better allocation and distribution of agricultural machinery to promote sustainable agricultural development. This study offers critical insights for policymakers, to enhance agricultural efficiency, and improve farmer welfare in Kubu Raya Regency.
