Daya Saing Karet Alam Sumatera Selatan Dalam Perdagangan Internasional

Abstract

Rubber is the leading commodity in South Sumatra which provides the largest income in the non-oil and gas sector. South Sumatra itself is an area that has the largest rubber production and plantations in Indonesia and can even compete with other rubber-producing countries in the international market. However, in its development, South Sumatra's rubber commodity faces various obstacles to compete in international trade. The purpose of this study was to examine how the competitiveness of South Sumatra's natural rubber commodities in international trade. The concept of competitiveness and the theory of competitive advantage is used to describe the research results. The method used in this study is descriptive explanatory, data collection was obtained by interviewing the South Sumatra Province Plantation Service and GAPKINDO of South Sumatra, as well as through the results of a literature study. The findings of this study are seen through 4 determinants of competitive advantage, factor conditions, demand condition, related and supporting Industries, then firm strategy, structure, and rivalry. As well as additional factors, governance. Production of rubber plantations in South Sumatra has decreased. Rubber demand also declined based on data on the volume of rubber exports. South Sumatra's downstream industry has not yet developed. Then the strategy applied is less than optimal and the role of the Government of South Sumatra is lacking. So it can be concluded that the competitiveness of South Sumatran rubber commodities in international trade is low. 

New Challenges and Opportunities of Indonesian Crude Palm Oil in International Trade

“…Comparative and competitive advantages determine a country's competitiveness in a commodity (Suparmono et al, 2022). Each country must improve and maintain the competitiveness of its superior products (Hertina et al, 2021), such as palm oil in Indonesia. Furthermore, the RCA analysis measures competitiveness based on market share.…”

Analysis Of Leading Sectors In West Sumatra Province

“…Another example of failure to utilize superior products in Indonesia can be seen from the results of research by Nur et al (2021) which analyzes how the competitiveness of South Sumatra's natural rubber production in international trade. Based on empirical evidence from this study, it is found that the South Sumatra region still needs to make improvements in increasing the production of quality natural rubber so that it can export its superior quality and can compete against products from competitors in terms of sales and product quality.…”

“…The GRDP and GDP used have a time span from 2017 to 2022. The selection of the city of West Sumatra as the locus of this research is based on the fact that in the West Sumatra region there is still no superior product that describes the region in export trade, whether it means exports to other provinces or even broadly exports to other countries (Nur et al, 2021).…”
