Abstract
This study aims to analyze the export competitiveness of processed cocoa beans from West Sulawesi Province to the Malaysian and Singaporean markets. Two analyses were conducted using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Export Product Dynamic (EPD) methods. The results show that processed cocoa beans from West Sulawesi Province have a strong comparative advantage in the Malaysian market but are less competitive in the Singaporean market. Key success factors include the high quality of processed cocoa beans produced, consistent supply, and supportive international import policies. Additionally, increasing export volume and the quality of raw cocoa beans is crucial to enhance competitiveness in the Singaporean market. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the potential of processed cocoa beans in West Sulawesi Province, although continuous efforts are needed to maintain and improve competitiveness in the international market. This indicates that the West Sulawesi provincial government can strengthen economic cooperation with Malaysia to increase exports and that the quality of processed cocoa products exported to the Singapore market needs to be improved
