DAYA SAING EKSPOR TEKSTIL DAN PRODUK TEKSTIL INDONESIA DAN VIETNAM KE AMERIKA SERIKAT DAN REPUBLIK RAKYAT TIONGKOK

Textile and Textile Product (TPT) are the main export products of Indonesia and Vietnam. This study examined the competitiveness of Indonesian and Vietnamese TPT in the US and PRC markets by using the CMSA, RCA methods and the Fixed Effect Model. The result showed TPT products from Indonesia and Vietnam do not have strong competitiveness in the PRC market, but they are highly competitive in the US market. The TPT export from Vietnam is mostly concentrated in the PRC market, while TPT from Indonesia was in the US market. Indonesian TPT is able to adapt in both PRC and US markets, while the Vietnamese TPT is only able to adapt in the PRC market. The competitiveness of Indonesian and Vietnamese TPT in the US and PRC markets is strongly influenced by the home country's FDI manufacturing. Indonesia's TPT competitiveness is strongly influenced by the GDP of the destination country, while Vietnam is strongly influenced by the factors of real exchange rates, tarrif, GDP of destination countries and Vietnam's FDI manufacturing. To improve the competitiveness of TPT export, Indonesia needs to give a great concern toward FDI manufacture and GDP of US and PRC.
