The results showed that independent variables were simultaneouslysignificant to dependent variables (production, income, farm household consumption and investment)with the Probability F test 0.0000 and adjusted R2 were 91%; 89%; 96%; 62%, respectively. Thesimulation’s analysis of agribusiness implementation consisted of 1) decreasing 15% of service perconception, 2) increasing of beef cattle breed and number of beef cattle 15% respectively, 3) raising ofprice of rice and number of household member 15% respectively and 4) increasing of income and priceof beef cattle 10% respectively influenced to farm household consumption and investment 0.446% and5.14%, respectively, meanwhile production and income did not change.
