The main commodities produced in the regency are palm oil, cacao, coconut, coffee, nutmeg, walnut, and pachouli oil [6] The main rivers are the Alas River and the Butan River. It contains the Leuser Ecosystem.

The Non-Alas People

The original inhabitants of this regency are the Alas people. They use the Alas language and live under the customs (adat) of those people. However, the population of the Southeast Aceh Regency has become very diverse due to migration from other regencies of Aceh and beyond. Although this Regency is part of Aceh province, the Aceh people (an eastern coastal grouping) do not dominate this place.

Here are some other peoples other than Alas inhabiting the regency:

• The Gayo people, the majority of whom live in Bambel village.
• The Bataks (Karo, Mandailing, Toba, Nias) in Lawe Sigala-gala, Semadam, and Babussalam districts.
• The Javanese (Javanese and Sundanese people) in Badar district.
• Minangkabau people in Babussalam district (in the town of Kutacane).
• Singkil people in Bambel district.
• Acehnese people, mainly in Babussalam district (in the town of Kutacane).

There are other smaller ethnic groups that are still new to the Regency and do not constitute a majority population elsewhere, such as Palembangese Malay people.
