Agriculture, forestry, and fishery sectors were the most important sectors that can increase community income in Sigi Regency after the earthquake, liquefaction, and COVID-19 pandemic occured. This fact can be seen from a dominant contribution given by these sectors towards the formation of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in Sigi Regency on the basis of the current price that is 43,21% in 2018. Those GRDP acquisitions were not yet known from what commodity and which sub-district, therefore more detailed information is needed. This study aimed to analyze various leading food crop commodities and examine the growth structure of food crop commodities in Sigi Regency. The methods used were Location Quotient (LQ) and Klassen Typology (KT) approach with the data collection on food crop commodity production from 2015-2019. LQ method produces commodities that were classified as a relatively leading level, i.e. Sweet Potatoes, Cassava, Peanuts, and Green Beans. Meanwhile, KT analysis divided agricultural commodities into four categories: (i) Sweet Potatoes, Cassava, Peanuts and Green Beans were categorized as the developed commodities; (ii) No crop was categorized as the stagnant commodities; (iii) Corn and Soybeans were categorized as potential or developing commodities; and (iv) Rice was categorized as an underdeveloped commodity.
