The subdistrict was chosen using the purposive sampling method, while the sample of the village and respondents were selected using simple random sampling. The selected subdistrict is Patuk Subdistrict, and the sample of villages are Bunder Village, Nglanggeran Village, Ngoro-Oro Village, and Salam Village. Fifteen farmer group members were collected from each village, so the total sample was 60—this research using proportion test and multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the role of the farmer group leader is in the high category. Individual farmers’ group leader quality has a significant and positive influence on the farmer group leader’s role, while age and education level have no significant effect on the farmer group leader’s role. Farmer’s attitude and the livelihood of farmers in the counseling have a significant and positive impact on the application of cocoa cultivation technology. In contrast, the age, education level, quality of individual farmer group leader, farmer’s motivation, the farmers’ liveliness in the extension, and land area have no significant effect on the application of cocoa cultivation technology.
