The reason of this work was to use the GIS application and the AHP analysis method to determine whether the land was suitable for the production of agricultural crops. The FAO guideline for land evaluation's method served as the foundation for the land's suitability class evaluation. Slope, soil moisture, soil type, soil texture, precipitation, temperature, and the study area's current land use were all taken into account when determining whether or not a piece of land was suitable for crop production. The strategies, which were utilized to gauge and normalized the factors were pair-wise examination and weighted analysis. After assessing the physical suitability of the land for agricultural crops.
