East Aceh Regency (Indonesian: Kabupaten Aceh Timur) is a regency in eastern Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sumatra. The regency covers an area of 6,040.6 square kilometres and had a population of 360,475 at the 2010 Census[2] and 422,401 at the 2020 Census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 449,796 - comprising 226,316 males and 223,430 females.[1] The regency capital is the town of Idi Rayeuk.

The regency borders the Malacca Strait to the north-east, the city of Langsa and Aceh Tamiang Regency to the south-east, Gayo Lues Regency to the south, and Central Aceh Regency, Bener Meriah Regency and North Aceh Regency to the west.

Economy

[edit]

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]

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 at mid 2023.[1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages (gampong) in each district, and its postal code.
