<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of the agricultural sector's contribution, farmers' terms of trade, milled dry grain price, and rice production on the poverty rate in Aceh Province, both partially and simultaneously. The data used are secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Aceh Province for the period 2014–2023. The analytical method employed is multiple linear regression using the EViews 10 software. The results show that partially, the contribution of the agricultural sector has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on the poverty rate. The farmers' terms of trade and the price of milled dry grain each have a negative but also statistically insignificant effect. In contrast, rice production has a positive and significant effect on the poverty rate. Simultaneously, the four independent variables are found to have a significant influence on the poverty rate in Aceh Province. Based on these findings, it is recommended that local governments not only focus on increasing production, but also pay greater attention to the distribution of agricultural output and the overall welfare of farmers. Agricultural policy should be directed toward strengthening competitiveness and sustainability in the sector to contribute more effectively to poverty alleviation efforts.]]>
