ABSTRACT

The growth of fisheries' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2019 increased from the previous year, with most of it met through export activities, one of which was the export of shrimp commodities. One of the export markets for Indonesian shrimp commodities is Japan. From 2010 to 2019, the value of Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports to Japan fluctuated, so an analysis was needed to investigate how the competitiveness of Indonesian shrimp exports to Japan in 2010-2019 using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method was and what was the position or performance of commodity exports. Indonesian shrimp exports to Japan in 2010-2019 used the Export Product Dynamic (EPD) method. The analysis results show that the average RCA value of Indonesian shrimp commodities is 4.54; the results indicated that the export of Indonesian shrimp commodities to Japan has a comparative advantage and strong competitiveness. While the results of the analysis using the EPD method obtained that Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports to Japan were in a falling star position. This position shows that Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports have a competitive advantage but weak competitiveness because the export growth of Indonesia's shrimp commodities tends to stagnate. It does hope that there will be an increase in the quality and quantity of Indonesia's shrimp commodity exports to reach the "rising star" position and diversify Indonesian shrimp export products, especially processed shrimp.
