LOCATION & PHYSICAL PROFILE

Sultan Kudarat is located in the southwestern part of the island of Mindanao. It is bounded on the north by its sister provinces of Maguindanao and Cotabato; on the south by the provinces of South Cotabato and Sarangani; on the east by Davao del Sur; and on the west by Celebes Sea.

The municipality of Isulan is the capital town of the province which is approximately 88 kilometers from Cotabato City; 174 kilometers from Davao City and 103 kilometers from General Santos City.

The province is strategically located in the BIMP-EAGA region. Its coastal areas and towns are directly facing Australia and the three major ASEAN growth partners (Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei), making it a potential backdoor of the Philippines to these countries.

The province is outside the typhoon belt as it lies on the region between latitude 6 and 7 degrees North and between longitude 124 and 126 degrees East.
