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.{{cite web|url=http://acehinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/leafletacehtimur2xe.pdf|title=Aceh Timur|publisher=Aceh Investment and Promotion Board|date=February 2010|access-date=December 20, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707080251/http://acehinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/leafletacehtimur2xe.pdf|archive-date=July 7, 2011|url-status=dead}} 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.
