Abstract

Permintaan gula nasional selalu meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan populasi, pendapatan, dan pertumbuhan industri- industri makanan dan minuman di Indonesia. Pemerintah selalu berusaha untuk meningkatkan ketersediaan gula domestik sejak lama, akan tetapi Indonesia masih belum bisa mencapai swa- sembada dalam pasar gula. Kebutuhan gula dalam negeri mencapai 4 juta ton dan hanya 2.3 juta dipenuhi oleh produksi domestik. Hal ini memaksa Indonesia untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gula domestik dengan melakukan impor. Saat ini Indonesia telah menjadi pasar yang potensial untuk gula. Dari sepuluh Negara eksportir yang mempunyai pasar di Indonesia selama kurun waktu 2005- 2011, Guatemala mencapai nilai tertinggi dalam perhitungan comparative advantage menggunakan RCA, sedangkan untuk revealed competitiveness menggunakan Vollarath Index, Uni Emirat Arab mendapatkan nilai tertinggi. Berdasarkan analisis regresi menggunakan data panel, Fixed Effect adalah model terbaik untuk mengestimasi daya saing. Dari hasil analisis didapatkan bahwa 98.88 persen variasi dalam nilai daya saing dapat dijelaskan oleh variabel di dalam model. Variabel produksi domestik Negara eksportir, harga impor gula dan produksi domestik Indonesia mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap daya saing yang signifikan pada level kepercayaan 95 persen, sedangkan GDP Indonesia mempunyai pengaruh negative pada level kepercayaan 95 persen.

English Abstract

Indonesian domestic demand of sugar always increases every year along with the increase of the population, income, and growth in the food and beverage processing industry. The Government also has tried to increase the domestic supply of sugar for a along time, but Indonesia still can not get self-sufficiency in sugar market. About 4 million tonnes are demanded and only 2.3 million tonnes come from domestic supply, this forces Indonesia to import sugar from other countries. Indeed, Indonesia has now become a potential market for international sugar trade. This study is to determine the competitiveness level between exporting countries in Indonesian sugar market and to determine the factors that affect the level of those competitiveness. There are ten exporting countries that contributed to Indonesian sugar market during 2005- 2011, namely; Thailand, Brazil, Malaysia, India, South Africa, EU- 27, Singapore, Guatemala, Rep. of Korea, and United Arab Emirates. The results show that from ten exporting countries included in this research during 2005- 2011, Guatemala has the highest value in comparative advantage using RCA index and competitive advantage using RTA and ln RXA indices. While for the RC index, Uni Arab Emirates count the highest value. Based on the regression analysis using panel data analysis, it can be seen that fixed effect method is the best model to estimate the competitiveness. The model estimate that 98.88 percent variation in the competitiveness can be explained by all variables in the model. The domestic production of the exporting countries and sugar import price have a positively significant effect to the competitiveness in Indonesia sugar market, while GDP of Indonesia and Indonesian domestic production of sugar have negatively significant effect.
