Popis: North Sumatra Province is an area with considerable agricultural potential in the Sumatra region. Analysis of the carrying capacity of agricultural land in North Sumatra in 2020 is very important to do in order to determine the carrying capacity of agricultural land in North Sumatra in meeting the food needs of its people. The purpose of this paper is to calculate and present the results of the analysis of the carrying capacity of agricultural land in North Sumatra Province. The data needed in this study is secondary data obtained from several journals and publications from related agencies, such as the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of North Sumatra Province. The results showed that overall the carrying capacity of North Sumatra’s land was classified as low. The low carrying capacity of rice farming land in North Sumatra is caused by increasing population growth and the quality of agricultural land which continues to decline so that the production of rice plants cannot meet the maximum food needs of the community. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to increase the carrying capacity of rice farming land in this area, for example by reducing the population and improving the quality of agricultural land resources.
