To determine the leading commodities, the Location Quotient (LQ) and Differential Shift (DS) methods were employed. Furthermore, the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Export Product Dynamics (EPD) approaches were used to evaluate the competitiveness and market position of these commodities in international trade.
