Herbal plants have been used for generations by the community as alternative medicine because herbal plants have properties to treat various diseases. The development of traditional medicine that is increasingly globalized makes the number of herbal plant productions increase. The availability of herbal plants can be done by cultivating herbal plants in the correct location. However, in the cultivation of herbal plants, harvest failures are often found due to climatic factors and soil conditions that are not following the requirements for growing these herbal plants. Therefore, recommendations about the right location for growing herbal plants are needed. This study uses Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making (FMADM) with the Weighted Product (WP) method, which is applied to a decision support system to find suitable herbal plants planted in a field. The criteria used are based on plant growth consisting of rainfall, annual average temperature, altitude, and soil acidity. The result of this study is a decision support system that can provide recommendations for herbal plants that are suitable for planting in the three locations in East Kalimantan Province based on the highest preference value.
