Compiling Variables of Development on Shrimp Export Competitiveness Index

Abstract

This study aims to compile the variables for the development of the shrimp export competitiveness index. The existence of a shrimp export competitiveness index is very important to measure the ability of shrimp products to compete in the international market. The shrimp export competitiveness index can be used by policy makers to identify Indonesia's challenges and strengths in designing Indonesia's shrimp export strategy. The high demand for shrimp from developed countries, coupled with the level of consumption that continues to increase, is an opportunity for Indonesia to increase the competitiveness of its shrimp products exports. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with literature review. The results of this study are the variables that build the shrimp export competitiveness index which are formed from 6 dimensions, namely Geographical Advantage, Human Resources Advantage, Business Environment Advantage, Sectoral Advantage, Market Advantage, and Political Economy Advantage.
