Competitiveness identification of fisheries export in Indonesia

Abstract

Since the implementation of AFTA in 2003 and ACFTA in 2004, the fisheries sector is becoming discussed increasingly. AFTA and ACFTA is the door for international trade, especially import and export activities in Indonesia specifically in the fisheries sector. Besides, this sector is one of the labour-intensive sectors that absorbs a significant workforce. To prevent decreasing in export fisheries, competitiveness can be used as an indicator of trade level. This paper analysed the competitive and comparative advantage of Indonesian fisheries products for export destination country such as United States, Japan, ASEAN, China, and the European Union. Data used in this study were retrieved from BPS and World Bank between 2012 to 2017. This paper used several measurement methods to capture comparative advantage measures namely Trade Specialization Index (TSI), Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Export Product Dynamics (EPD) methods. If fisheries products prove high competitiveness, it can be expected to continue to exist and consistently grow. The results of this study indicate that competitiveness in fisheries sector still increases and encourages domestic production, with the end goal in public welfare. So that in the future, fisheries sector become one of the leading sectors in Indonesia.

Export Performance and Comparative Advantage of Indonesian Tropical Fruits

“…The Rising Star position shows that the export share growth in destination countries is increasing in line with the increase in demand for commodity exports, which is experienced by China (Hong Kong, SAR) in China [13]. Furthermore, the Falling Star position shows that exporting countries experience commodity market growth in importing countries but demand for commodities declines, which is experienced by India and Pakistan in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates [26]. Retreat conditions indicate that the exporting country's commodities to the importing country did not experience growth in market share and export demand, which was experienced by Pakistan and Malaysia in Oman and Singapore [26].…”

In Table 11, the EPD results for bananas from competing countries in the international market show that bananas from the Philippines and Ecuador are in the Lost Opportunity position in China, Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.…”

Apakah Nikel Indonesia Memiliki Keunggulan Daya Saing di Pasar Internasional?

“…Pelonggaran kebijakan Peraturan Kementerian ESDM Nomor 5 dan 6 Tahun 2017 berdampak pada peningkatan nilai ekspor di tahun 2018 dan 2019. Peningkatan ini sejalan dengan teori keunggulan kompetitif dimana apabila suatu komoditas dapat bertahan di pasar bebas bermakna bahwa produk tersebut paling diminati oleh konsumen (Destiningsih et al, 2020). Peningkatan nilai ekspor tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kebutuhan negara importir semakin meningkat atas komoditas nikel Indonesia.…”

Techno-Economic Analysis of Solar Photovoltaic System for Fishery Cold Storage Based on Ownership Models and Regulatory Boundaries in Indonesia

“…An exciting result of the large amount of energy exported to the grid is that it can reduce operational expenditure from cold storage. This will impact lowering the rental price of cold storage because the operational expenditure of cold storage influences the cold storage rental price according to Equation (2). For all energy system topologies shown in Figure 13, community-based cold storage rental prices are on average 16% less high than community-based cold storage rental prices.…”

“…The fisheries sector contributes significantly to national development by creating jobs, diversifying livelihoods, supplying animal protein, and earning foreign exchange. About 6.4 million Indonesians are employed directly as a result of the seafood business, which contributes 3.1% to national GDP and 21% to agricultural GDP, earning US$ 4.2 billion in 2012 from seafood exports and supplying 54.8% of the country's animal protein needs [2,3]. Indonesia's wealth in fisheries products does not match the country's infrastructure for fishery support [4,5].…”
