## Abstract
Abstract Karawang Regency is the national rice granary, significantly contributing to Indonesia’s food security. However, rice productivity remains constrained by limited technical irrigation and dependence on rainfall. The government launched a massive pumping program to address this by providing water pumps to farmer groups. This study aims to analyze the impact of enormous pumping on rice production in Karawang using a quantitative approach with a regression model. Observed variables include harvested area, rainfall, and the number of pumps farmer groups use. This study shows that rice productivity in Karawang Regency is significantly influenced by pumping, harvested area, and rainfall, with increasingly massive pumping providing the most substantial contribution. The regression model used can explain 97.1% of the variation in productivity, confirming the role of technological interventions and environmental factors in supporting food security. These findings recommend the sustainable expansion of the pumping program supported by land-efficiency strategies, climate-based planting scheduling, and the integration of water-saving irrigation technologies.
