The results showed that the form of coconut business in the District of Tiworo Kepulauan Muna Barat Regency is classified as a micro business with assets of 50 million each with a total income in the copra business having a garden of Rp. 36,733,125. Then the total coconut business income without processing Rp. 6,493,522 and the total copra business income without having a garden is Rp. 43. 226,647. Potential identification based on the Location Quotient (LQ) calculation shows that the average value of the calculation of a coconut business by owning a plantation and a coconut business without processing of 1.1 is included in the base category, meaning that these two coconut businesses are superior coconut businesses. while the coconut business without owning a garden of 0.8 is classified in the Non-base category or has not yet become a leading business so it needs to be developed further so that this business can become a superior business and be able to compete with other businesses that already exist in the district of Tiworo Islands, West Muna Regency Southeast Sulawesi.
