This research is included in quantitative research using secondary data. The analysis technique used is the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis method and panel regression analysis. The results show that in the Nickel Processed Product Commodity, Indonesia has quite good competitiveness against competing countries. In addition, the competitiveness variable, the Gross Domestic Product per capita of the destination country, and the exchange rate of the destination country have a significant positive effect on Indonesia's exports of processed nickel products.
