<![CDATA[International trade is one of the key instruments in promoting a country's economic growth through export and import activities. As one of the world's largest nickel producers, Indonesia plays a strategic role in the international trade of nickel ore, particularly in the major Asian markets. This study aims to analyze the effects of international prices, exchange rates, inflation, and production on Indonesia's nickel ore exports to the major Asian markets, namely China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, during the period of 2013–2022.This study employs secondary data using a balanced panel data approach consisting of five export destination countries (cross-sections) and ten years of observation (time series), resulting in a total of 50 observations. The data were analyzed using panel data regression analysis with the assistance of EViews software. The results indicate that: (1) international prices have a positive and significant effect on Indonesia's nickel ore exports to the major Asian markets during the 2013–2022 period; (2) inflation has a negative and significant effect on Indonesia's nickel ore exports to the major Asian markets during the 2013–2022 period; (3) exchange rates and production have no significant effect on Indonesia's nickel ore exports to the major Asian markets during the 2013–2022 period; and (4) simultaneously, international prices, exchange rates, inflation, and production have a significant effect on Indonesia's nickel ore exports to the major Asian markets during the 2013–2022 period.]]>
