The research findings indicate that Indonesia boasts the highest comparative advantage with an average RCA value of 18.25, followed by Malaysia (15.76), Cambodia (14.79), Thailand (2.15), and the Philippines (2.46). Overall, ASEAN countries demonstrate a comparative advantage in the Indian market with an average RCA value of 8.60. These findings offer crucial insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders to enhance the export competitiveness of CPO in the international market. This study contributes significantly to understanding the CPO trade dynamics between ASEAN countries and India, providing a foundation for more effective policy formulation to improve market positioning and export competitiveness of CPO in the global market.]]>
