ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES' ALLEGATIONS REGARDING THE DUMPING & SHRIMP SUBSIDY DISPUTE ON THE REPRESENTATION OF INDONESIAN INDUSTRY

Abstract

The international market's perception and the competitiveness of Indonesia's fisheries industry were notably impacted by the United States' accusations of dumping and subsidies against Indonesian shrimp exports. This study explores the short- and long-term effects of these allegations on the industry's global representation. Although the US Department of Commerce was ultimately ruled in favor of Indonesia, the process impacted the industry's reputation and trading partners' trust. Findings show that, while Indonesia's fisheries industry retained its position in the US market, this issue underscores the importance of transparency, WTO compliance, and consistent diplomacy to support Indonesia's long-term export sustainability.
