The identification of superior commodities is one of the initial stages of the development of the agro-policy area. This study aims to identify the leading agricultural commodities, land suitability, and the Pasuruan Regency's economic performance. Determination of superior commodities using Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, shift-share analysis, land suitability analysis, potency and problem analysis, and final analysis of district government policy. We found that coffee is the most widely produced plantation commodity in Pasuruan Regency. The shift-share analysis shows that coffee and tobacco grow faster than any other commodity. The land suitability analysis shows that coconut, coffee, cane, and tobacco could be planted in all Pasurua Regency areas. The Government should support coffee's economic performance in the provision of seed, training, organization of coffee events, and sale of coffee processing technology. However, several areas need to be addressed, including cooperative enterprises, agricultural terminals, and business certainty. Besides, cooperation with other industries is also needed to develop international markets.
