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. Thus, not all farmers can cultivate coffee. This study examines the difference in prosperity between farmers who cultivate coffee and farmers who do not. Prosperity varies based on household members' expenditure per capita, access to food, and assets owned by the two farmers' groups. The study uses the Chi-Square Test of Independence and Independent Samples t-Test. Based on per capita expenditure, access to food, and assets, the results demonstrate no significant difference in the welfare of the two groups of farmers.
