The pupose of this study is to: 1) analyze the productivity of the labor of the palm oil harvester in PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Region II Kebun Laras. 2) Analyze what factors affect the productivity to the palm oil harvesting workforce in PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Region II Kebun Laras. The method used in this study is the analysis of Multiple Linear Regresion. The result of the study were obtained that the average productivity of the harvesting workforce of PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional II Kebun Laras 1,643 Kg/day. This is already high, because the productivity of the harvesting labor has exceeded the target set by the company: Variabel umur, education, salary, and premium, positively and significantly affect the productivity of the harvesting labor while family dependents, experience and work time negatively and significantly affect the productivity of the harvesting labor
