Abstract
Corn has an essential role in Indonesia, especially as a livestock feed. Corn production has increased significantly over the past five years. Many provinces in Indonesia are a center of corn production, but most do not serve as corn exporter. Gorontalo is one of it that has successfully exported corn. However, corn export from the province is still facing continuity and competitiveness challenges. This study aims to analyze of the corn exports’ potential, opportunities, and challenges from the region. The survey was conducted in 2018. Data and information were collected through in-depth interviews with relevant agencies and respondents are analyzed using SWOT analysis. The results of the study show that Gorontalo Province has a good prospect for exporting corn. The main strength of this province is the availability of two export ports. However, transportation infrastructure to the ports does not optimally support corn export activities. The dynamics of corn trade policies by the Government is also a potential factor to weaken corn competitiveness. Various programs are needed to continuously increase corn exports, including simplifying corn export procedures and licenses, improving infrastructure to facilitate transportation to farmland, and improving export market access by doing good networking with corn importers.
