Indonesian fiber industry is one industry which is demanded to improve its competitiveness in the world market. The purposes of this study were: (1) analyze the trade map (2) comparative advantages, and (3) analyze the export performance of Indonesian fiber industry product and some major exporter in the world market. The analysis method conducted in this study consist of descriptive analysis and comparative advantage (Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA)).Based on the result, China and South Korea are the major exporters which tend to dominate each of world fiber product. Meanwhile, Indonesia has also important role as a major exporter for world fiber products especially for HS 5509, Indonesia is in the second position. Countries with the highest competitiveness for fiber products consist of HS 5503, HS 5509 and HS 5515 respectively are South Korea, Indonesia, and India. The RCA index progress for each exporter country on the three types of fiber product tends to fluctuate. However, the progress of Indonesian RCA index for the three types of fiber product tends to increase from 2008 to 2012.

174 Journal of Economics and Development Studies, Vol. 3(1), March 2015 1. Introduction Textile industry provides a great impact on the economy, in terms of contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), foreign exchange earner, as well as in employment (Kouliavtsev, Christoffersendan Russel, 2007; Abraham and Sasikumar, 2011; Gera, 2012). Fiber industry is one industry in the textile industry, beside yarn and fabric industry. The existence and continuity of fiber industry is very important for the next subsectors of the textile and clothing industry, because fiber industry is an upstream industry of textile and clothing industry. So the quantity and quality of fiber produced from fiber industry will determine the sustainability and performance of the further textile and clothing industry. The increasing of export prospects of textile and clothing industry will require the availability of fiber products in very large quantities. However, the production of Indonesian fiber is still not able to meet the domestic needs, so the shortage will be fulfilled by importing fiber from other. In 2010, the import volume of Indonesian fiber products reached more than 800,000 tons (Asmara et al., 2013a). More than 85% of the cotton for Indonesian textile industry is imported from Australia, USA, China, India, Pakistan, Tanzania, and others. This is because the cotton crop can not be cultivated optimally in Indonesia (Hermawan, 2011). Based on Direktorat Jenderal Perkebunan (2013) data, cotton production in Indonesia in the last six years tend to decrease. The estimation of cotton production in 2013 was 2,558 tons, decreased by 33.7% compared to 2008. Based on the study of Asmara et al. (2013), 65.22% of the textile industry faced problems related to raw material prices, including the price of fiber. The challenges faced by Indonesian fiber industry is not only to meet domestic demand, but also to maintain market share of fiber export in the world market. Increasing competition in the world market with the changes in trade policies can affect the position of Indonesian fiber products in the world trade map. Competition between Indonesian fiber products with the major producing such as China, South Korea, India, and the USA will continue. Indonesia's position in current world fiber trade dynamics is the main question that will be answered in this study. Hartono and Setyowati (2009) revealed that since the abolition of the quota system in 2005, Indonesia s market share of fiber industry was threatened because of unable to compete with other, such as China and Viet Nam.

Asmara et al. 175 According to background and problems, the purposes of this study are: (1) analyze the trade map of Indonesian fiber industry product and several major exporter in the world market, (2) analyze the comparative advantages of Indonesian fiber industry product and some major exporter in the world market, and (3) to analyze the export performance of Indonesian fiber industry product and several major exporter in the world market. 2. Research Method The data which is used in this study is annual secondary data from 2008 to 2012 which are obtained from UN Comtrade. The analysis conducted in this study include descriptive analysis, revealed comparative advantage analysis (RCA), and RCA index analysis. Discussion on the trade map and comparative advantage is limited to the three main fiber products which have the largest export value in the world market in 2012, namely Synthetic Staple Fibres, Not Processed for Spinning (HS 5503), Yarn(Not Sewing), Synthetic Staple Fibre, Not Retail (HS 5509), dan Woven Fabric of Synthetic Staple Fibres, Nes(HS 5515). RCA is used to analyze the comparative advantages of Indonesian fiber products and five major exporter in the world market. Formulation of RCA by Balassa that has been modified as follows (Burangedan Chaddha 2008): RCA = / /..... (1) where:x ij = export value of country i for fiber product j X i = total export value of country i X wj = world export value for fiber product j X w =world total export value Commodity competitiveness in the RCA has two possibilities, namely: 1) RCA> 1, shows the fiber product of country i has a comparative advantage (competitiveness) so relatively more specialized in the relevant commodity groups. 2) RCA < 1, shows the fiber product of country i does not have a comparative advantage (does not have competitiveness) so it does not specialized in the relevant commodity groups.

176 Journal of Economics and Development Studies, Vol. 3(1), March 2015 RCA index is the ratio between the value of current RCA with RCA in the previous year. Formula of RCA index is as follows: RCA Index = (2) Where : RCA t = RCA value of current year (t) RCA t-1 = RCA value of previous year (t-1) t= year RCA index range from zero to infinity. 1) If the RCA index = 1, then there is not an increase in RCA or current exports performance in the world market is the same as the previous year 2) If the RCA index < 1, then there is a decrease in RCA or current exports performance in the world market is lower than the previous year 3) If the RCA index > 1, then there is an increase in RCA or current exports performance in the world market is higher than the previous year 3. Result dan Discussion 3.1. Fiber Product Trade Map in the World Market and Indonesia Position and Some Major Exporter Countries The export value of world fiber products shows fluctuating condition with an increasing tendency during the period of 2008 to 2012 (Figure 1). The highest export value of fiber product was in 2011, reaching US$ 68,597,608,935. Fluctuation in the world's fiber export value was caused by unstable world s economic condition so there was a fluctuation in the market both raw materials and world s fiber products coupled with raw material price in Asia are volatile and tend to increase (Wirawasta, 2011).

Asmara et al. 177 Figure 1: World Fiber Total Export Value, 2008-2012 80,000,000,000 70,000,000,000 60,000,000,000 50,000,000,000 40,000,000,000 30,000,000,000 In the three types of fiber products which are discussed, the progress of the world's total export value of HS 5503, HS 5509 and HS 5515 fiber products also fluctuates and tend to increase in period 2008 to 2012 (Figure 2). China and South Korea are two that dominate export of fiber products in the world market and become the world's largest exporter especially for synthetic fiber. This is due to higher production of synthetic fiber in Asia Pacific region which controls 83% of the world market share. Even China controls 72% of world synthetic fiber production and expand the total production capacity which reached 33 million tons per year (Wirawasta, 2011).

Analysis of Indonesian Fiber Comparative Advantage and Major Exporter Countries in the World Market The competitiveness progress of Indonesian fiber product and five major exporter for HS 5503, HS 5509, and HS 5515 in the world market is presented in Figure 9.According to Asmara Et Al. (2014), Comparative Advantage of a Product Produced by a Country Reflects the Advantage (Competitiveness) of Such Product Compared to Similar Products from Other Countries Almost all of the exporter have a comparative advantage for the three types of fiber products in the world market, as shown by RCA value which is greater than one. However, USA does not have a comparative advantage on HS 5503 and HS 5509 as well as Japan on HS 5515 fiber product. Beside these two, Italy has the competitiveness on HS 5515 only in 2008 and 2009. This showed that HS 5503 and HS 5509 fiber product (for USA) and HS 5515 (for Japan and Italy) is not one of the main export commodities in these three. The progress of comparative advantage which is obtained by each exporter country for the three types of fiber products tend to fluctuate from year to year. This indicates the high level of competition among exporter to grab world fiber market share.

Asmara et al. 183 For HS 5503 fiber product in 2012, South Korea has the highest comparative advantage, with RCA value at 6.27. The highest comparative advantage which is reached by South Korea is 6.69 in 2008. For HS 5515 fiber product, India has the highest comparative advantage, with RCA value at 8.74 in 2012. This is because, India is the world s third-largest producer of cotton and second-largest producer of cotton yarns and textiles (Desrani, 2013). Meanwhile, Indonesia has the highest comparative advantage for HS 5509 fiber product. The highest Indonesia s RCA value was reached in 2009 at 14.88. The high of Indonesia s competitiveness because of Indonesia is the world's second largest exporter for HS 5509. Moreover, in 2009 the export value of Indonesian HS 5509 to the world was US$ 578.7 million.

However, the progress of Indonesia's comparative advantage for HS 5503 and HS 5509 fiber products tended to decrease.

Asmara et al. 185 Decreasing Indonesia s competitiveness is thought because of Indonesian fiber industry is difficult to grow. One reason is the problem related to the limited supply of raw materials, especially cotton fiber (Aulia, 2008; Hermawan and Adam, 2010; Widodo and Ferdiansyah, 2010). The decrease of some Indonesian fiber product competitiveness is supported by the result study of Asmara et al. (2013b) who stated that the stability of fiber quality which is produced by Indonesian fiber industry is poor. Thus, the yarn industry in Indonesia rely on the use of imported fiber more than 50% (Hermawan, 2011). In addition, that competitiveness is also influenced by the increase of production costs due to the elimination of cotton fibers export subsidy policy from 2006and the restriction on export quota by producer (Hermawan and Adam, 2010). 3.3. Analysis of Indonesian Fiber Export Performance and Major Exporter Countries in the World Market The export value progress of each exporter country for the three types of fiber product tends to fluctuate during 2008-2012. Of the three panels in Figure 10, it can be seen that China dominated as the main exporter, especially for HS 5509 and HS 5515, while on HS 5503, South Korea more dominated except in 2011 where China was superior. This is because, China's Textile industry produces the largest scale textiles of the world (Yang, He, and Zhang, 2010) and world s leading textile and clothing Exporter (Karaalp and Yilmaz, 2013). On HS 5503, South Korea and China are the most dominating country, but the highest export value made by China in 2011 at US$ 1,495,910,863. As well as the progress of other export value, the progress of Indonesia s export value also fluctuates from year to year. On HS 5503 and HS 5515, Indonesia's export value is not so great. Meanwhile, on HS 5509 Indonesia became the second largest exporter in the world after China from 2008 to 2012. The highest export value which was reached by Indonesia at US$ 949,124,562 in 2011.

Indonesian Fiber RCA Index and Major Exporter Countries in the World Market RCA index or the competitiveness performance of each exporter country for HS 5503, HS 5509 and HS 5515 fiber products tend to fluctuate from year to year as shown in Figure 11. Although South Korea and China have the highest export value on HS 5503, but the competitiveness performance of these are not so good which was indicated by the decrease of competitiveness in South Korea in 2008-2009, 2009-2010, and 2010-2011 and China in 2008-2009 and 2011-2012.

Asmara et al. 187 While Japan is the best competitiveness performance on HS 5503. Meanwhile on HS 5509, Italy has the lowest competitiveness performance. On HS 5515, Indonesia, China, and India are the three with the best competitiveness performance. Increase in efficiency is very important to have greater international competitiveness and overcome the emerging challenges from global competition (Bhandari and Maiti, 2007; Abraham and Sasikumar, 2011). The progress of Indonesia s RCA index for the three types of fiber products also fluctuate and tend to increase from 2008 to 2012. The highest RCA index for HS 5503 was in 2011-2012 at 1.00. While the highest RCA index for HS 5509 and HS 5515 were in 2011-2012 at 1.15 and 1.14, which means the competitiveness performance of Indonesian fiber product increased from 2011 to 2012 in the world market. Based on study of Asmara et al. (2013), performance of Indonesian fiber product is also affected by turnover, output, and profit of fiber industry. A decrease in Indonesian fiber product competitiveness in certain years is caused the lack of resources and performance of Indonesian cotton farmers. In addition, the machine condition of artificial fiber industry (rayon and polyester) is relatively old (Widodo and Ferdiansyah, 2010). Based on the study result of Asmara, Purnamadewi, and Meiri (2013), between the progress of the five sub-sectors of textile and clothing industry, the growth of fiber industry number is the lowest which caused the low offiber export but the highest volume of import.

Asmara et al. 189 4. Conclusions and Recommendations 4.1. Conclusions The world fiber export value shows a fluctuation condition and tends to increase in 2008 to 2012. China and South Korea dominate the world fiber export especially for synthetic fiber. Indonesia also plays an important role as a major exporter for the world fiber product, especially for HS 5509, Indonesia become the second largest exporter in the world. The competitiveness progress of Indonesian fiber product and five major exporter for HS 5503, HS 5509 and HS 5515 in the world market tend to fluctuate which indicate the high level of competition among exporter. Most of these have competitiveness in the world market. Country with the highest competitiveness for HS 5503, HS 5509 and HS 5515 fiber products respectively are South Korea at 6.69 in 2008, Indonesia at 14.88 in 2009, and India at to 8.74 in 2012. Meanwhile, the progress of export value of each exporter country for the three types of fiber products fluctuate from 2008 to 2012. RCA index of each exporter country for the three types of fiber products also tend to fluctuate. Japan has the best competitiveness performance for HS 5503 as well as Indonesia, China, and India for HS 5515. The progress of Indonesia s RCA index for the three types of fiber products tend to increase from 2008 to 2012. 4.2. Recommendations Improving the competitiveness of fiber product need to be done so that Indonesian fiber can compete with fiber product from other exporter in the world market and will increase the market share of Indonesian textile product. Facing the high level of competition, fiber industry must reach economies of scale and production efficiency so the use of resources can be efficient in order to save expenses and finally fiber product can be more competitive. Need the support and attention from the government to assist the progress of fiber industry in order to reach economies of scale, improve the business scale, machine revitalization, and technology adoption. Further research related to the analysis of factors affecting the competitiveness of Indonesian fiber industry needs to be done to obtain further information in order to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian fiber industry.
