West Java Province is a main producer that produces more than 78% of tea production in Indonesia. Areas in West Java Province that produce tea are concentrated in several sub-districts in Bandung Regency. Unfortunately, tea production in Bandung Regency continues to drop and it is feared it cannot meet the demand for tea in the future. There are many factors that determine productivity, such as plant life, labor and climate and land suitability. In this research it will be examined further about the climate and land against tea productivity until 2030 with the provision of climate variability. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Fourier Series fitting is used as the method to project rainfall and the Barotropic Model is used to determine the number of harvest days in a year until 2030. Rainfall, temperature, slope and soil type are used as determinants in land suitability class. This research results tea productivity projection in Bandung Regency decreased from the average tea productivity of 1.8 tons per hectare to 1.64 tons per hectare in 2030. Therefore, it is suggested to open new tea plantation or land engineering at old tea plantation to increase tea production in Bandung Regency.
