Farmersmall in developing countries are besieged by many constraints such as the yield of that crop low, limited access to credit and extension services, low capacity of farmers and slow transfer of technology and information.Efforts to develop farmer groups in Indonesia have been going on since the Dutch colonial era. Meanwhile, the condition of the farmer groups from year to year can be said to have not experienced the development as expected or can be said to be stationary or even declining.From the problems of farmer groups, it is necessary to have a comprehensive evaluation of the development of farmer groups. Evaluation of the development of farmer groups is carried out based on the relevant group management criteria for a farmer group. Criteria for the ability class in farmer groups to be evaluated are (a) planning, (b) organizing, (c) implementation, (d) controlling and reporting, (e) developing farmer group leadership.To solve the problems mentioned Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) could be applied in decision support systems. Basically, AHP it refers to the evaluation of a number of criteria, to evaluate a number of existing criteria the AHP method is used which is able to approach the assessment of qualitative criteria and quantitative criteria.The results of the evaluation phase are then prioritized. Prioritization is determined because of the large number of farmer groups in Indonesia and limited human resources in an effort to improve the quality of farmer groups. Priority determination is done by implementing the AHP and TOPSIS methods. The results of the calculation using this method obtain the ranking of the performance / ability of farmer groups in managing their farmer groups. The priority for increasing the capacity of farmer groups is focused on farmer groups that have low scores. The existence of the SPK application makes it easier to determine the class of farmer groups quickly and better based on processed data.
