<![CDATA[Based on UN Comtrade data from 2007-2022, Indonesia emerged as a leading exporter of wood charcoal in the international market, despite a downward trend in export growth. This study analyzes the market structure concentration, competitiveness, trade position, and trade integration between Indonesia and its trading partners using data from UN Comtrade and BPS. Analytical methods include Concentration Ratio (CR-4), Herfindahl Index, Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), Index of Trade Specialization (ISP), and Intra-Industry Trade (IIT).
