The economic stability of Kadingilan relies mainly on agricultural. Majority of the population are largely dependent on agricultural products as their main source of needs.

Farmers plant yellow corn because of its yield compared to white. Despite the surplus corn production, shortage of corn still occurs in the barangay especially during drought or dry seasons. This largely due to limited post harvest facilities particularly warehouses for the farmers to store their harvested crops.

Of all the annual crops of barangay, sugar cane is the most feasible. The climate condition and the soil type of the barangay are bet suited for this crop. But mostly of farmers doesn’t have vehicle to deliver sugarcane into a distant miller. They need to rent vehicles in order to market their crop.
