Abstract
Indonesia^s high potential for chicken production presents significant opportunities for developing downstream poultry industries to enhance product competitiveness in the international market. This study assesses the comparative advantages of Indonesian processed chicken products (IPCP) in the international market. The analysis uses export data for IPCP, and other countries obtained from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, the Indonesian Ministry of Trade, and UN Comtrade from 2014 to 2023. Data were categorized by Harmonized System (HS) codes 160232 and 160239 and analyzed using Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Market Share Index (MSI). The results revealed that the total export value of IPCP from 2014 to 2023 was USD 2,166,011.7, peaking in 2023. Japan is the largest importer of IPCP, with an import value of USD 797,196.2. RCA analysis indicated that both HS codes 160232 and 160239 had values >1, suggesting a comparative advantage. The highest MSI was observed in Timor Leste for HS code 160239. These findings demonstrate that IPCP holds competitiveness in the international market. To carry this advantage and expand into new markets, innovations in product development and the utilization of advanced technologies are essential for ensuring the sustainability of Indonesia^s poultry industry.
