East Aceh Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Aceh Timur) is a regency in eastern Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sumatra.

Economy
[edit | edit source]This regency is rich in petroleum, more so than the North Aceh and Aceh Tamiang regencies. Fishing employs many people in the regency but little of it is exported; people depend on it for food.[4] The main fishing centre in the regency is in Idl. The regency also has several food-plant based industries producing tofu, tempeh and sun-dried banana chips.[4] Some areas are under plantation exploitation for palm oil and rubber, although there is only one state-owned company (TPN I) operating in the area. Plantations also produce cacao and chocolate and in the Lokop area iron ore and lead is mined.[4]
Administrative districts
[edit | edit source]The regency is divided administratively into twenty-four districts (kecamatan), listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[2] and 2020 Census;[3] together with the official estimates as of mid 2024.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages (gampong) in each district, and its postal code.
