The increase in population and for the benefit of public welfare is the reason people consume rice and resulted in a very large increase in demand for this commodity. This study aims to analyze the distribution of the spatial concentration level of production of wet-rice commodities in each district in Langkat Regency and analyze the relationship between the spatial concentration level of wet-rice production with the productivity of wet-rice commodities. The analysis method used is the concentration index analysis and spearman correlation. The results of the analysis concluded that of the 23 sub-districts in Langkat District, the production of paddy rice commodity is concentrated in 13 sub-districts namely Bahorok; Binjai; Wampu; Hinai; Secanggang; Tanjung Pura; Gebang; Babalan; Sei Lepan; West Brandan; Besitang; Pangkalan Susu; and Pematang Jaya. The relationship between the spatial concentration of paddy fields and the productivity of paddy fields does not have a significant relationship, with a very weak relationship and not unidirectional (opposite direction).
