Regional development is largely determined by the potential possessed by a region, the wisdom made by the local government must refer to the potential of areas that have the opportunity to be developed, especially the plantation subsector. The high demand for exports of plantation products has encouraged the development of a number of plantation commodities in various regions. Palm oil is one of the leading commodities in the plantation subsector in Aceh Province. Until now, oil palm is a prima donna crop of the people in the Aceh region and in several other regions. Palm oil is the development of an agribusiness-based plantation subsector. The activities of oil palm plantations and their derivative products provide high added value in the economic sector. The importance of developing oil palm plantations is increasingly felt in the impact on the workforce of both men and women who work in the oil palm plantation sector and its derivative sectors. Women are an important part of the palm oil industry that is always present in every chain of the palm oil production process. This impact can be seen from the increase in income of the farming community, resulting in an increase in the purchasing power of rural people, both for primary and secondary needs. Based on the role of oil palm in the rural economy and the development of oil palm plantation areas in the Aceh area. The selection of research sites is in the Western region of Aceh which includes: Aceh Singkil and Meulaboh Regencies and the Eastern region of Aceh includes: North Aceh Regency, East Aceh, Kuala Simpang. It is known that the region has many characteristics of the oil palm plantation industry in Aceh province.
Agricultural development that is generally carried out in rural areas is very important for a country because it has a very broad role such as producing food for the people, providing a source of income and employment for rural residents, providing a source of raw materials for the industrial sector, encouraging national and regional economic growth and preserving the environment technological developments allow agriculture to have a new role as a source of energy for life in the form of biofuels. Dependence on energy sourced from fossil fuels, especially petroleum, is getting higher and has encouraged Indonesia to develop biofuels such as biodiesel given the availability of abundant raw materials in the form of palm oil. Currently, Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in the world. so that the community has an alternative choice of fuel to be used and dependence on fossil fuels can be reduced and improve the economic welfare of the community, especially oil palm farmers. The study covers the aggregate area of Aceh province and commodities restricted to biodiesel derived from palm oil as the leading raw material for biodiesel in Indonesia. The feasibility level of the region (west or east) of Aceh province that has the potential for biodiesel plant development is projected through a model and economic analysis. PT Perkebunan Lembah Bhakti (Astra Agro Lestari Tbk) in Aceh Singkil regency, Aceh province built 1,000 hectares of plasma oil palm plantations in an effort to increase the productivity of the company's management and improve the economy of the local community. PT Ika Bina Agro Wisesa in the Guha Uleu area, Kuta Makmur District, North Aceh Regencyaccommodates around 700 tons of palm oil bunch owned by local farmers.
