Indonesia is a country with a variety of agricultural commodities. The agricultural sector, including horticultural commodities, plays an important role in contributing to Gross Regional Domestic Product in Indonesia. Enrekang Regency is one of the regencies in South Sulawesi which produces various kinds of horticulture, mainly onions, cabbage and tomatoes. The impact of climate change on the agricultural sector is multi-dimensional, both in terms of agricultural infrastructure, production systems and the welfare of farmers and society in general. One of the challenges faced in horticultural productivity is climate change which affects the amount of horticultural crop production. In this research, we will examine the percentage influence of climate on several types of horticultural plants such as tomatoes, petai, beans and chilies. This research uses horticultural production data obtained from the Enrekang and South Sulawesi District Agriculture Services using documentation methods for 11 years (2011-2021). Then, data on weather conditions was taken from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency for the last 11 years. These data are then processed with regression and correlation analysis using the SPSS application. The results of the regression analysis show that the overall influence of climate on 4 variables (Petai, Beans, Tomatoes, and  Chilies) respectively is *R value =.492, R =.578, R =.465, and R =.514*. This shows that climate has a significant correlation and influence on the productivity of horticultural crops as much as 50% and then the remaining 50% is influenced by other variables outside the research. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further studies regarding the factors that have an impact on the production of horticultural crops, such as land management and pest prevention.
