East Aceh Regency (Template:Lang-id) is a regency in eastern Aceh Special Region (Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam) of Indonesia. The regency covers an area of 6,286.01 square kilometres and according to the 2010 census had a population of 360,475 people; the latest official estimate (as at 2014) is 379,507.[1]

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

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.[2] 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.[2] 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.[2]
