This research aims to evaluate the export competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil and coconut oil in the Chinese market from 2014 to 2023 by employing the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamics (EPD), and X-Model methodologies. The analysis reveals that both commodities possess strong comparative advantages (RCA > 1), yet are categorized as falling stars and retreats. These results offer a comprehensive understanding of the competitive positioning of Indonesian palm oil and coconut oil in China and serve as a foundation for developing more focused and effective export enhancement strategies in the future.
