Agricultural productivity plays a crucial role in regional economic development, particularly in areas where agriculture remains a primary source of livelihood. Understanding the distribution and competitiveness of agricultural commodities is essential for designing effective development strategies at the local level. This study aims to identify the leading agricultural commodities of food crops sub sectors in Sedong district, Cirebon Regency, West Java, using the Location Quotient (LQ) method. The background of this research is based on the increasing number of farmers shifting from mango farming to rice farming despite its agroecological potential. The data used include agricultural sub sectors production statistics of food crops, horticulture and herb plants sourced from official publications of BPS and agricultural agencies for the year 2018 – 2024. The LQ method measures the comparative advantage of a commodity by comparing its share of production at the district level with that at the regency level. The results reveal that mango emerged as the most potential leading commodity in Sedong District considering both LQ values and production consistency. Mango also has the second largest contribution to the overall agricultural production in the area. In the food-crop subsector, rice was the only commodity categorized as a base commodity based on its LQ value. Rice production also demonstrated consistent annual output and accounted for more than 70% of Sedong’s total agricultural production, making it the dominant contributor in this subsector. In the seasonal horticulture subsector, there are 2 commodities with LQ values greater than 1 so they can be categorized as basic commodities, namely melon and watermelon.
