This study investigates the competitiveness of Indonesian biodiesel export among the top seven of biodiesel trader countries in the world, as well as the factors that determine export for Indonesian biodiesel. Applying Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis, the results show that Indonesia has good competitiveness of biodiesel in the world. Using secondary data, the results of the gravity model indicate that distance of trade destination countries harms the Indonesian biodiesel export. Meanwhile, price, exchange rate, and GDP have a positive effect on the export. Based on the results of this study, the government of Indonesia should focus on the development of the biodiesel industry, since the increasing importance of biodiesel as alternative energy in the world. AbstrakPenelitian ini mengidentifikasi bagaimana daya saing ekspor biodiesel Indonesia diantara tujuh eksportir biodiesel di dunia, serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ekspor biodiesel di Indonesia. Dengan mengaplikasikan analisis Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki daya saing yang baik diantara eksportir biodiesel di dunia. Dengan menggunakan data-data sekunder, hasil dari model gravitasi menunjukkan bahwa jarak negara tujuan memiliki dampak negatif terhadap ekspor. Sementara itu, harga, nilai tukar, dan PDB berpengaruh positif yang kuat terhadap ekspor. Berdasarkan hasil-hasil dari penelitian ini, Pemerintah Indonesia perlu fokus dalam pengembangan industri biodiesel, karena semakin pentingnya biodiesel sebagai energi alternatif di dunia.Kata Kunci: biodiesel, ekspor, daya saing JEL Code: F13, F41
