| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the challenges and opportunities faced by Indonesian
exporters of edible bird's nests (EBN), focusing on the regulatory and market dynamics
that influence their global competitiveness. As the largest producer of EBN, Indonesia
has encountered significant obstacles, particularly due to stringent regulations from
destination countries like China, which have disrupted direct exports. Despite this, the
growing global demand for EBN, driven by its perceived health benefits and luxury
status, presents new opportunities for diversification beyond China into markets in
North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The study examines key factors including
trade policies, supply chain inefficiencies, and certification requirements, providing
recommendations for improving export strategies, enhancing product quality, and
expanding market reach. Additionally, the role of government support and the
importance of market diversification are discussed in terms of sustaining Indonesia's
leadership in the global EBN industry. | en_US |
