Shrimp is the first Indonesia’s leading fishery export commodity, above tuna, squid, crab, and seaweed. The categories of shrimp that are exported are frozen shrimp, fresh shrimp, and processed shrimp, where the largest quantity for the shrimp export category is frozen shrimp. However, Indonesia’s export value growth for frozen shrimp is still lower than its competitors. This study aims to analyze the level of competitiveness of frozen shrimp exports in Indonesia among competing countries in international market. The data used was secondary data obtained from related agencies. The analytical method used to analyze competitiveness is Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA). This method was used to analyze changes in the level of competition for 1 years, namely 2007 – 2021. The results showed that in international market on 2007-2021, Indonesia’s frozen shrimp exports has a strong competitiveness. Indonesian frozen shrimp the competitiveness had a trend that tends to decline within 11 years. Based on the analysis results using RCA method, Indonesian frozen shrimp competitiveness on the 2007-2021 period was seen to decrease until 2012 and began to increase in 2013, while other competing countries, namely Argentina, Ecuador and India, showed an increase in competitiveness. Meanwhile, several other competing countries such as Bangladesh, Belgium, Denmark, Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam experienced a decline in competitiveness as well as the value of RCA decreased.
