Abstract

The coastal regency of Aceh Jaya has great potential resources in marine and fisheries, agriculture-plantation-animal farming, forestry, minerals-mining, tourism, processing industry, and renewable energy. However, significant challenges arise regarding selecting these potentials with the principle of sustainability: encouraging economic development, being accountable and socially accepted, and having an ecological perspective as a short to medium plan to accelerate economic growth. This study has identified the leading sectors with the most potential resources for the basis of development priority of Aceh Jaya nearly two decades after the 2004’s tsunami. The research was conducted in nine districts in Aceh Jaya Regency. Data is processed through Market Analysis, Gap Analysis, Stakeholder and Institutional Analysis, and Sectoral Analysis. These analyses identified eight sectors with each superior product for the development acceleration of Aceh Jaya. Those sectors and the products are agriculture (rice), capture fisheries (tuna, skipjack, mackerel tuna, and crustacean), aquaculture (giant-tiger prawn, tilapia, and lobster), animal farming (cattle, buffalo, goat, duck), forestry (agarwood, dragonblood, and rattan), tourism (Geureutee, Reusam Island), mineral (coal), industry (prawn cracker, shredded catfish, soybean, patchouli oil, and biogas).
