The research data were secondary data sourced from Trademap in the period of 2001-2019. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index and export product dynamics (EPD) methods. The results of the analysis show that Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia are able to produce natural rubber commodities with strong competitiveness. EPD analysis also shows that Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia respectively have a rising star, lost opportunity, and retreat positions in natural rubber commodities traded on global markets. |
