Kandangan – Southern Kediri's Wilis Mountain Highland Agricultural Zone
Kandangan occupies the southern portion of Kediri Regency, in the highland foothills approaching the southern face of the Wilis mountain massif. The district is part of the Kediri highland agricultural zone where the elevation change from the flat Brantas valley plain to the Wilis slopes supports a more diverse crop range than the lowland areas. Coffee, cloves and highland horticulture are cultivated at the higher elevations alongside the tobacco that extends from the lowland zone. The Wilis mountain south face provides the highland scenery and ecological context for the district's farming system. The Blitar border approach creates agricultural commerce connections with southern Kediri's neighbor. The combination of highland climate, volcanic soil fertility from the Kelud system, and the diversity of highland crops creates a productive multi-crop agricultural economy.
