Medan’s economy grew through trading, agriculture, and processing industries, with palm oil exports playing a major role. Today, North Sumatra’s capital is a multicultural regional hub, supported by the nearby Strait of Malacca, Port of Belawan, and Kualanamu International Airport. It is Indonesia’s largest city beyond Java and one of the country’s four main central cities, serving as a gateway to western Indonesia.
