This study aims to: (1) present the characteristics of leading horticultural farming in Aceh, (2) compare the conditions of existing traits with those that should live in entering digital agribusiness, (3) identify the constraints in agribusiness to enter digital era, and (4) find the solution of the constraints. Descriptive analysis, tabulation, and comparison are used as the analytical tools in this study. The results show that leading horticultural agribusiness in Aceh have problems in adapting digital era because today’s agribusiness characteristics still outperform. Constraints are attributed to the internal factors of those who plays essential roles in agribusiness. Those factors are: older age of agribusiness actors, low educational attainment, unfamiliar with digital technology, and limited access to land and capital. This study find that government acts, such as improving social assistance, mentoring and coaching, are crucially needed to support agribusiness actors competing in digital era.
