Abstract
The construction of a fertiliser factory is a necessary strategic step for the growth of the agricultural sector. However, constructing a fertiliser factory must consider numerous factors, beginning with an analysis of environmental and socioeconomic impacts. This study aims to investigate the socioeconomic effects of the construction of a fertiliser factory by mapping problems and developing strategic solutions using the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. This method is used to make decisions based on the relative importance of multiple criteria. The results indicate socioeconomic factors of concern, such as increasing income for local surrounding community, demographic factors, cultural factors, and industrial expansion.
