<![CDATA[According to the Ministry of Trade (2013), woodencraft commodities are potential export products due to their advantages, such as high attractiveness in the global market. Indonesian wooden crafts benefit from the diversity of quality wood species from extensive production forests that comply with international regulations for the wood market. However, despite these advantages, their export value showed a negative trend during 2011–2021. This study aims to determine the competitiveness of Indonesian woodencrafts in 10 main destinations of the global woodencraft market and to identify the factors influencing their export value. The analysis methods used are Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamics (EPD), and panel data regression. The results show that Indonesian woodencrafts are highly competitive in 9 countries, and are positioned as a “rising star” in 10 countries according to EPD analysis. Furthermore, inflation in destination countries, the real exchange rate, and RCA value have a positive and significant effect on export value, while export price has a negative and significant effect. The findings highlight the need for government policies to promote Indonesian wooden crafts in markets with high competitiveness. In addition, the government is encouraged to secure raw material supply, enhance trade agreements, and support SMEs through training and broader access to international markets]]>
