“…The economic gains and losses in international trade are measured by competitiveness, which can be influenced by several variables. A country can be deemed globally competitive when the value-added of its exports exceeds that of its imports (Junior et al, 2023).…”

Objective: This study examines the comparative and competitive export of wood charcoal in four potential countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and Vietnam, in the Saudi Arabian Market with HS Code 4402. This study used annual data for nine years from 2014 - 2022, divided into three periods. Method: This study used the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) and concentration Ratio (CR), Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), Export Product Dynamic (EPD), X-Model, and Trade Specialization Index (ISP) models to measure the wood charcoal industry in the Saudi Arabian Market. Result: The findings show that wood charcoal market in Saudi Arabia exhibits a strict oligopoly structure, with Indonesia and China dominating the market share. Indonesia emerged as the top supplier of wood charcoal to Saudi Arabia during for nine years. Malaysia showed the highest competitiveness among potential countries in certain periods. Overall, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, and Malaysia demonstrated strong competitive positions, with dynamic export growth, positioning them as "Rising Stars" in the market. These countries specialized as wood charcoal exporters to Saudi Arabia, reaching a mature stage in their market presence during the analyzed period from 2014 to 2022. Conclusion: This study concludes that Indonesia became the highest supplier with a market share of 53.51% and had a strong comparative advantage. Malaysia has the highest optimistic market development, followed by Indonesia, Vietnam, and China. Indonesia's wood charcoal competitiveness position remains in the Rising Star position. The Trade Specialization Index of four potential countries at this stage of maturation.

“…With the further refinement of the international division of production, subsequent studies focused on the driving factors of forest products' export trade, export quality, and the global value chain [1,[8][9][10]. The development of forestry may occupy the resources of other non-forestry activities, while providing an economic development effect [11].…”

Forestry carbon sinks are an important measure for enabling China to cope with global climate change and realize its “double carbon” goal. Carbon sink afforestation projects (CSAPs) are a type of forestry carbon sink projects, and the question of whether China’s forest products with an export orientation can adapt to the requirements of high-quality development is important for balancing the relationship between emissions reduction and development. We use the micro-data of forest product export enterprises provided by the China Customs Database and construct a difference-in-difference (DID) model to investigate the impact of CSAPs on China’s forest product export and its heterogeneity. The results show that CSAPs significantly increase the export scale of China’s forest products. CSAPs lead to significant heterogeneity regarding the forest product export scale in relation to regions, production factor intensity, trade pattern, enterprise ownership, and export destination countries. We further find that although the implementation of CSAPs significantly reduces the export types of forest products, it significantly promotes an increase in the export price and the expansion of the export quantity of forest products, and it optimizes the export structure of forest products to some extent. The “Belt and Road” initiative (BRI) has played a significant positive role in regulating the expansion of the forest product export scale with CSAPs. The implementation of CSAPs reduces the risk of termination of trade relations among forest product export enterprises and extends the export duration. The conclusions provide implications for policy makers and managers of forest product enterprises.
