So far, dryland is have very low productivity due to many factors, including low nutrient content, difficulty in management their levels, inadequate farmer knowledge, and high management costs. These impacts low-income communities’ economies leading to most people living in dryland areas being poor. This research aims to design and promote a dryland management model based on a case study conducted in the East Java Province. This quantitative research method was conducted through a survey approach in the Bondowoso area using cassava production and its management into tape products. The population used for the survey were cassava farmers and business actors in the tape industry which were as many as 99 respondents and ten supporting respondents. Data analysis was conducted through instrument tests, data processing, prerequisite test, and Kendall’s Tau test. The findings of this study found that the dryland of cassava model had higher element (f) in the farming and tape industry, more appropriate land management (physical), complete the facilities and infrastructure, and better existing institutional management. The implication is that an active role by both government and non-government institutions is needed to support the community by providing intensive training and counseling to improve the quality of land management and industrial production innovation. © Penerbit UMT
