The three areas located at an altitude of 1200 m above sea level have the largest coffee plantations in Indonesia, which is about 81,000 hectares. Each of the 42,000 hectares is located in Bener Meriah Regency, the rest (39,000 hectares) in Aceh Tengah Regency. Gayo people work as coffee farmers with dominance of Arabica varieties. The production of arabica coffee produced from Gayo Land is the largest in Asia. The distribution of coffee plants to Indonesia brought a Dutchman in the 17th century who get arabica mocca seed from Arabia to Batavia (Jakarta).
