Mojo – Southeastern Kediri's Volcanic Highland Agriculture
Mojo is situated in the southeastern Kediri Regency, in the elevated terrain between the active Kelud volcano and the Tulungagung border. The district occupies the highland zone where the volcanic influence of Kelud is strongest – the deep, mineral-rich volcanic soils deposited by centuries of Kelud eruptions create extraordinary fertility for tobacco, coffee and mixed highland agriculture. The 2014 Kelud eruption was a defining event for this zone, depositing significant ash that temporarily disrupted agriculture but ultimately added another layer of volcanic soil fertility after recovery. The highland setting provides cooler temperatures than the Kediri plain, supporting crop types not viable in the lowland. The district connects the Kediri plain economy to the highland agricultural zone and the Tulungagung border economy to the south.
Tourism & Attractions
The Kelud volcanic landscape is accessible from the southeastern approach road. The highland agricultural scenery of coffee and tobacco cultivation is attractive. Tulungagung's attractions are accessible south across the border. The volcanic highland provides dramatic scenery unique to this productive but geologically active zone of East Java.
