One of the rubber export destinations for Jambi Province in India. The Covid-19 tsunami that hit India in March-June 2021 is expected to affect Jambi Province's rubber exports. An analysis will be carried out on the development of Jambi Province's rubber exports during the Covid-19 tsunami period and see the effect of the Covid-19 tsunami in India on Jambi Province's rubber exports. This study uses descriptive analysis, normality test, and independent sample t-test to see the effect of the Covid-19 tsunami on rubber exports to India. The results of the Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test reached a significance of 0.200. Meanwhile, the normality test with Shapiro Wilk stated a significance of 0.720 before the Covid-19 tsunami and 0.161 during the Covid-19 tsunami. This means that Jambi Province's export data is normal because the significance is > 0.05. The results of the independent sample T-test on export data show that the Covid-19 tsunami did not affect Jambi Province's export activities to India. This can be observed from the significance value at equal variances assumed of 0.482 (> 0.05). This means that rubber exports to India will continue despite extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 tsunami.]]>
