This study analyzes the impact of establishing The Indonesia's Trade Attaché (Atdag) and The Indonesia's Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) on Indonesia's non-oil exports performance. The method used in this study is random effect model of demand functions using non-oil and gas export value, and non-oil and gas export share of Indonesia in trading partner countries as the indicators of Indonesia's export performance. The results indicate that the presence of Atdag and ITPC gave a positive and significant effect to improve exports. The value of Indonesia's non-oil and gas exports, and the share of Indonesia's non-oil exports with some partner countries of Atdag and ITPC are higher compared to countries without Atdag and ITPC. Moreover, the amount of budget received by the trade representative also has a positive and significant effect on the export performance.Therefore, the government should strengthen and develop Atdag and ITPC in order to boost export by increasing the budget and the number of trade representatives abroad.
