Indonesia's pepper growth rate tends to decrease compared to the growth rate of world pepper demand. This is due to the decline in production in Indonesia in recent years. This has an impact on the amount offered by Indonesia to meet the needs of the world. Indonesia's inability to compete with other countries makes Indonesia's position in taking on the growth of the world's hopes can be used by other countries. This situation can change Indonesia's position and competitiveness in trade on the international market. This study aims to analyze the level of competition between countries by using Revealed Comparative Auntungan (RCA and Dynamics Revealed Comparative Advantage (DRCA). The results of the study show that during the 2011-2013 period the highest increase in competitiveness between countries during the other period was an increase Significant exports to the countries of Brazil, India and Pakistan which increased on the value of RCA. Delaying in the 2011-2013 and 2014-2016 periods was related to increasing countries increasing exports such as Indonesia, Brazil and India. Position of Indonesia in 2016 Enlarging free markets greater than the results of world exports, Indonesia must increase the country's competitiveness.

“…Moreover, Table 2 shows export position of a country in the international market. Edwards & Schoer (2002) According to Widodo (2010), positive value of Rank Spearman Correlation coefficient indicates competition between two countries in export market (both have similar comparative advantage pattern). Whereas, negative value means that the commodity is a complement in the product supply to export market (both have different comparative advantage pattern).…”

Fluctuations in Indonesian Robusta coffee exports occurred along with a declining trend in coffee exports compared to major competitor countries over the past fifteen years. This research aimed to analyze the dynamics of the competitiveness of Indonesian Robusta coffee exports and the level of competition among the major competitor countries such as Vietnam and India. The methods used are Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Dynamic Revealed Comparative Advantage (DRCA), and Rank Spearman Correlation. These methods were selected to analyze changes in competition level within 15 years’ time dimension (2000–2015) as well as to analyze the relationships among competing countries, which may affect Robusta coffee market of each country. The analysis showed that Indonesia's coffee competitiveness tends to increase compared to the two major competitors of Robusta coffee exporter of the world such as Vietnam and India. However, Indonesia's coffee competitiveness is still a half below Vietnam. The Indonesian coffee rivalry against Vietnam and India is not significantly correlated due to the different markets of export destination countries. Increasing competitiveness and the strength of competition in export market can be done through quality improvement and continuity of domestic Robusta coffee in accordance to the demand of world consumers.

“…This is supported by Hecksher (1919) and Ohlin (1933), who state that a country can gain a comparative advantage due to relative differences in physical capital. According to Edward and Schoer (2002), countries abundant in a given factor of production also have comparatively lower opportunity costs. In this regard Keesing (1966) states that human skills should also be considered as a factor of production factor, since countries relatively rich in this resource will have a comparative advantage in those products for which capital is used more intensively.…”

This study examines Poland's comparative advantage and that of other selected CEE countries via the application of the normalized revealed comparative advantage index (NRCA). The research includes Chebyshev's inequality measurement to determine outstanding NRCA values for +/-3 standard deviations of the mean. Findings: Perspective sectors where an intensification of Poland's exports to the Chinese market is possible, are those that possess a normalized comparative advantage (sector XVImetals). Polish exporters to China should also seize the opportunity offered by changing the profile of Chinese consumers. Practical Implications: This research, by identifying potential comparative advantages, can therefore provide further arguments relevant in determining Poland's trade policy, thus affecting change in negative trade patterns with China. Originality/Value: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Chinese trade patterns with the 16 CEE countries using NRCA and Chebyshev's inequality index that has so far not been investigated in any study.
