Cirebon Regency is a regency (kabupaten) of West Java Province of Indonesia. The town of Sumber is its capital. It covers 1,076.76 km2 and had a population of 2,068,116 at the 2010 census[2] and 2,270,621 at the 2020 census;[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 2,360,441 (comprising 1,195,535 males and 1,164,906 females).[1] These area and population figures exclude those of Cirebon City, which is an independent administration, although totally surrounded by the regency on its landward side.

The Cirebon region is renowned for the production of various types of mangoes. There are plans to support the expansion of mango production in the region both for export as well as for the domestic market. Mango production is currently concentrated in just a few parts of the regency. Local farmers and officials believe there is considerable potential to expand production to other nearby parts of the locality.[4]
