Competitiveness and Export Similarity of Indonesian Horticulture in The Asean-Asean+3

Abstract

In the framework of ASEAN+3 integration, Indonesian horticultural trade is facing a dilemmatic position. Being in the middle of a fi erce competition with benchmark countries, it is important that Indonesia gain the highest profi t from its integration strategy. Evaluation is n of needed to investigate Indonesian's position in ASEAN +3 horticultural markets and the sustainability of specifi c trading prospect on each member country. Therefore, this study aims to investigate competitiveness and similarity of Indonesian horticultural export structure in intra-ASEAN+3. Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis shows that Indonesian horticulture does not have aggregate competitiveness in ASEAN+3 market. The average of Indonesian RCA decreased from 1,64 in ASEAN level during 1999-2014 to 0,45 in ASEAN+3 level. In addition, based on Export Similarity Index (ESI) analysis, Indonesia has the highest and the most consistent similarity of horticultural export structure with Singapore, both in ASEAN and ASEAN+3 level. Meanwhile, Thailand has the highest level of export structure similarity in ASEAN with ESI index of 93,77. Integration of ASEAN+3 has led to an alteration in trading scheme in which ESI with each member country generally decrease. The highest level of export structure similarity occurs with Singapore with ESI index of 85,95. Overall, the trade of horticultural commodity in the framework of ASEAN+3 integration is dominated by export structure similarity which may lead to a competition between the members of ASEAN+3.

Minimizing Disguised Equity as Mandated by the Income Tax Law of Indonesia

“…The reasons are: 1) There are similarities in several economic variables between Indonesia and Thailand, such as Expenditures and Revenues, both per capita and as a percentage of GDP (see Appendix 3). 2) A high similarity in export structure within the ASEAN region occurs with Thailand, represented by an Export Similarity Index of 93.77 (Chasanah et al, 2017).…”

Una Mirada a La Competitividad De Los Principales Productos Agrícolas De Exportación Holandesa

“…Para complementar el análisis de competitividad existen otros indicadores que ayudan a una mejor toma de decisiones como lo es la Ventaja Comparativa Revelada [RCA] (Yu & Qi, 2015); varios estudios (Chasanah et al, 2017;Kathuria, 2013;Rifin, 2013;Seleka & Kebakile, 2017;Soon-Ja et al, 2016) han demostrado la efectividad del RCA a la hora de analizar un producto o categoría de productos en el mercado Internacional, por ejemplo Soon-Ja et. al.…”

Sosialisasi Rempah Sebagai Komoditas Ekspor Rempah Melalui Media Sosial

“…Mengingat besarnya kebutuhan masyarakat global terhadap ketersediaan produk turunan rempah di pasar internasional yang tentunya berkontribusi secara signifikan bagi pendapatan nasional maka pemerintah Indonesia perlu meningkatkan kapasitas ekspor produk turunan dan olahan rempah. Hal ini juga sejalan dengan hasil penelitian yang menunjukkan bahwa komoditas rempah Indonesia memiliki daya saing komparatif yang sangat kuat (Chasanah, Mulyo, and Darwanto 2017). Akan tetapi hal ini berbanding terbalik dengan daya saing kompetitif yang masih belum maksimal dan rendahnya tingkat kesejahteraan petani rempah yang mempengaruhi produktivitas dan kemampuan berinovasi (Suhery, Putra and Jasmalinda 2021).…”
