The competitiveness of Indonesia’s frozen shrimp exports in international market

Abstract

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.

International Market Selection for Frozen Shrimp Exports From Thailand: An Integration of Cage Distance Framework and Data Envelopment Analysis

“…This highlights the competitive dynamics and trade disputes within the global shrimp market, particularly concerning the USA as a major importing country. Moreover, the competitiveness of shrimp exports from Indonesia and Vietnam has been a focus of research, with studies analyzing the level of competitiveness and export dynamics position among competing countries in the international market (Yolandika et al, 2022;Mashari et al, 2019). These studies provide insights into the competitive landscape and export performance of these key shrimp-exporting countries.…”

Classification Of Indonesian Frozen Shrimp Export Data Using K-Medoids Clustering

“…Kapita et al (2022) also reviewed the same topic, grouping Indonesia's shrimp production capacity using the Kohonen SOM technique to assess fisheries capacity, specifically shrimp products in each province. (Yolandika et al, 2022), focused on the competitiveness of Indonesia's frozen shrimp exports in the international market. Their study aimed to analyze Indonesia's position among competing countries in the global frozen shrimp export market, shedding light on the level of competitiveness.…”

“…It is one of the world's most delicious and nutritious seafood, and the demand is increasing (Toma et al 2019). Shrimp accounts for about 42% of the country's fish trade balance, ranking first in Indonesia's fish exports, with high quantity and export value (Yolandika et al 2022), thus the shrimp culture plays an important role in the contribution of revenue in Indonesia (Budhiman et al 2005), and also one of important penaeid species farmed worldwide (Balakrishnan et al 2011).…”
