Abstract. Central Aceh District, Aceh, Indonesia, is well known as a coffee-producing
region. However, based on land elevation, not all areas in this district are suitable for
producing coffee, so not all farmers can cultivate coffee. This study aims to see the
difference in prosperity between farmers who grow coffee and farmers who do not farm
coffee. We can see the difference between household members' expenditure per capita,
access to food, and assets owned by the two farmers' groups. The method used in this
study is the Chi-Square Test Independent and Independent Samples t-Test. The results
showed that, in general, seen from per capita expenditure, access to food, and assets,
there was no significant difference in the welfare of the two groups of farmers.
