This research applies a qualitative analysis method to analyze the impact of the implementation of the agropilitan program using shift share analysis. The results show that the implementation of the agropolitan program is running quite well, but its performance is quite slow. This is because the role of the agro-industry has not been well implemented. Efforts that need attention are fertilizer and alsintan assistance so that farmers receive the benefits of this program. PPL

Lastly, the structural shift component, which has a positive value of 2.01, indicates that the agricultural sector is still a mainstay in labor absorption.
