dc.description.abstract	Using product mapping and product space analysis at the HS-4 level from 1991-2020, this study classifies 200 commodities by Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage and Trade Balance Index. Results show Group C (export specialization without comparative advantage) dominated, while Group A (strong competitiveness) remained stable and Group B indicated untapped potential. Product space analysis reveals gradual diversification into higher-complexity goods alongside persistent reliance on staples like rice and spices. Policy should prioritize agro-processing and supply-chain infrastructure to enable export upgrading.	en_US
