Background: West Java has diverse agroclimatic characteristics, making it a highly potential area for cultivating various varieties of elephant grass. Different varieties of elephant grass have different environmental tolerances, growth patterns and physiological characteristics. This study aims to identify the most potential areas and recommend location-specific varieties of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum). 
&nbsp; 
Methods: The research method used descriptive-quantitative analysis and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) analysis with criteria weightings of feed (45%), livestock (25%), socio-economics (20%) and climate (10%). 
&nbsp; 
Result: The analysis results show significant agroecosystem diversity between cool-wet highland zones (e.g. west bandung regency, 1,250 metres above sea level) and hot-dry lowland zones (e.g. indramayu regency, 15 metres above sea level). Seven regencies were classified as having &lsquo;High&rsquo; potential for development, with cianjur regency (Score 8.35), garut regency (Score 8.04) and sukabumi regency (Score 7.98) ranking at the top.
