The Competitiveness of Indonesian Tuna Export Facing the Asean Economic Community

2014

Abstract: This study tried to estimate the competitiveness of Indonesian tuna exports in the ASEAN market during the period 2005-2010 and analyze the factors affecting the competitiveness of exports of tuna. Several data analysis methods were used to measure the commodity of Indonesian tuna with competitiveness to the ASEAN market are the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Constant Market Share Analysis (CMSA); while the panel data regression is used to examine the factors that affect the export competitiveness of Indonesian tuna to the ASEAN countries. This is indicated by the value of RCA obtained less than 1. This also shows that the competitiveness of Indonesian tuna is still relatively high (strong); while the value of CMSA is positive, it indicates that Indonesia is still be able to maintain the competitiveness of tuna fish in the ASEAN market. RCA and CMSA size is then used as the dependent variable in the regression analysis panel. The results of the panel regression e...

The export competitiveness of the tuna industry in Thailand

Purpose -Thailand dominates world exports of canned tuna with a market share of around 40 percent which is at least four times higher than any other exporter. The aim of this paper is to examine the export competitiveness of the canned tuna export industry in Thailand for 1996-2006. Design/methodology/approach -The paper uses a revealed comparative advantage (RCA) approach and calculates RCA indices for both major exporters in the world market and competitors in individual export markets. Findings -Thailand has comparative advantages in all major export markets; these have remained stable in the USA, the Middle East, Japan and Canada but have fallen substantially in Australia. Practical implications -First, Thailand urgently needs to consider tuna farming. Second, smaller processing and fishing companies should merge to increase profit margins and market share. Third, Thailand should engage in effective trade negotiations with importers. Fourth, stock management and conservation could be used to support the industry. It is unlikely that current levels of comparative advantage can be maintained because of import tariffs, rules of origin, labour shortages and increasing unskilled labour costs. Social implications -Tuna management and conservation in Thailand could be used to support the sustainability of the industry. Originality/value -By contrast to Kijboonchoo and Kalayanakupt who find that Thailand's market share declined between 1987-1998 and revealed comparative advantage fell, these results show that this declining trend has since been arrested.

Competitiveness of Indonesian Shrimp Exports to Japan in 2010-2019

Universal Journal of Agricultural Research, 2022

The growth of fisheries' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2019 increased from the previous year, with most of it met through export activities, one of which was the export of shrimp commodities. One of the export markets for Indonesian shrimp commodities is Japan. From 2010 to 2019, the value of Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports to Japan fluctuated, so an analysis was needed to investigate how the competitiveness of Indonesian shrimp exports to Japan in 2010-2019 using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method was and what was the position or performance of commodity exports. Indonesian shrimp exports to Japan in 2010-2019 used the Export Product Dynamic (EPD) method. The analysis results show that the average RCA value of Indonesian shrimp commodities is 4.54; the results indicated that the export of Indonesian shrimp commodities to Japan has a comparative advantage and strong competitiveness. While the results of the analysis using the EPD method obtained that Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports to Japan were in a falling star position. This position shows that Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports have a competitive advantage but weak competitiveness because the export growth of Indonesia's shrimp commodities tends to stagnate. It does hope that there will be an increase in the quality and quantity of Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports to reach the "rising star" position and diversify Indonesian shrimp export products, especially processed shrimp.

Impact Analysis of Non-Tariff Measures (NTM) on Indonesian Tuna Exports to Major Destination Countries

2018

Currently, international trade is hampered in both tariff and non-tariff measures. Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) are likely applied by some major trading countries. The NTM policy mostly applies Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT). Tuna commodity is one of Indonesian potential exports facing NTM barriers. Indonesia has exported its tuna to a number of major destinations including China, Japan, Thailand, United States, South Korea, Singapore, and Vietnam. This study aims to analyze the export performance and NTMs impact on the Indonesian tuna export commodity. The methods used included descriptive analysis through inventory approach (coverage ratio and frequency index) and regression analysis of gravity model panel data from the period of 2009 – 2013 with the cross sectional data of the six major destination countries. The results show that United States as a country imposing the highest NTMs and frozen tuna is the most affected commodity group by NTM e...

Competitiveness Indonesian Fisheries Export Commodity in the Era of Free Trade Agreement

This study aims to analyze the competitiveness of export fishery commodities in Indonesia in the Free Trade Agreement era and compare the competitiveness of export fishery commodities Indonesia in the Free trade agreement era and the previous era. The research period is from 2001 until 2020. This study uses secondary data for export fishery commodity HS 03, which consists of data on 11 export destination countries that have entered into FTA agreements with Indonesia. Data sources are obtained from the UNDP Trade Map, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP). The findings of this study indicate the competitiveness of export fishery commodities Indonesia shows a strong RCA value even though it has a decline in value after FTA and exports its dynamic product shows an increase from a retreat position to a lost opportunity position after FTA. With the position of lost opportunity, the strategic effort that can be done is to increase productivity and quality improvement.

Competitiveness Analysis of Indonesian Fishery Products in ASEAN and Canadian Markets

Signifikan: Jurnal Ilmu Ekonomi, 2019

This study aimed to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian fishery products in the ASEAN and Canada markets. The method used was Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamic (EPD), and X-Model product export potential. The research showed that Vietnam and Canada had a similar level of export structure to Indonesia in the ASEAN market so that Indonesia would have a high competition with both countries. Indonesian fishery products showed a high competitiveness in the export destination markets, except Philippines and Canada. The market position of Indonesian fishery products in Philippines, Thailand and Canadian markets was in the rising star and lost opportunity. These countries also showed as an optimist and potential market for Indonesian fishery products. The policy implication is that government and private sector need to prioritize the export of fishery products to Thailand, Philippines and Canada by improving the product competitiveness through quality improvement and production cost efficiency.

Competitiveness of and Barriers to Indonesia’s Exports of Ornamental Fish

Sustainability

Indonesia has been striving to become the world’s largest ornamental fish exporter for the past two decades, but success has been limited. This study analyzes Indonesia’s export competitiveness and identifies the barriers encountered. A trade analysis using the UN-Comtrade database for 2012–2021 was conducted using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Constant Market Shares (CMS), and Competitiveness Matrix formulas to evaluate the competitiveness. Qualitative data from interviews with forty-three industry stakeholders were analyzed using NVivo to evaluate export barriers. The findings revealed that Indonesia had not been optimally exporting to some of the world’s largest markets and faced various barriers, such as product quality and continuity, regulations, marketing, shipment, and other internal and external barriers. The government’s role in overcoming those barriers is crucial while maintaining environmental sustainability. We also propose a matrix model for export barrier...

Competitiveness of Indonesian fishery commodities

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science

This study aims to analyze whether the policy is effective in increasing the competitiveness of fishery commodities in Indonesia. This study employs Revealed Competitive Advantage (RCA) as an indicator of competitiveness of fishery commodities. Effectiveness of illegal fishing policy is analyzed by utilizing panel regression on pre and post policy data. This study finds that most of the RCA index of fishery commodities are greater than one, which means that its competitiveness is strong in international markets. The regression result of policy variable shows the difference of competitiveness of fishery commodity in Indonesia, pre and post the implementation of illegal fishing policy.

Study of Policy Impact on the Indonesian Fresh Tuna Export: An Econometric Approach

Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2018

This study analyzes the impact of government policies to increase Indonesia's tuna exports in the international market. This study uses time series data 2000-2016. The econometric model used in this study was a simultaneous equation by including government policy variables. Analysis of the impact of Indonesia's fresh tuna trade policy on domestic and international markets were done with ex ante simulation and historical simulation using time series data 2000-2016. Results of analysis can be abstracted as follows: the policy of increasing the number of trips 25 percent impacts on the increase of tuna production by three percent; the depreciation of the rupiah exchange rate by 30 percent has an impact on the increase of fresh tuna exports to Japan by 13 percent; decrease the price of domestic fresh tuna by 10 percent resulted in an increase in domestic fresh tuna demand by 3.42 percent; decrease the interest rate of 2.5 percent could induce increasing the fresh tuna production by 13.99 percent; removal of the import tariffs could increase export of fresh tuna; use of appropriate technology could increase fresh tuna production. The production and export of Indonesian tunas were also influenced by the policies of the Indonesian government and policies of the importing countries.
