With constant increase of fossil fuel price recently, the search for biodiesel as alternative source of energy has been increasing recently. Cassava is among agricultural crop that is potential for biofuel production. This study intends to determine the competitiveness of cassava farming for biofuel in Central Lampung District of Lampung.
