Palm oil is one of Indonesia’s key export commodities, contributing significantly to the national economy. However, the expansion of exports continues to face challenges such as limited distribution channels, restricted access to global markets, and a lack of transparency in the supply chain. Amid rapid advancements in digital technology, e-commerce has emerged as a potential solution to address these issues, particularly for downstream products such as crude palm oil (CPO). This study aims to analyze the role of e-commerce in supporting the export of Indonesian palm oil commodities to global markets. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach using literature review and secondary data analysis sourced from trade institutions and e-commerce platforms. Content analysis was used to examine relevant documents and data to identify patterns, opportunities, and constraints. The findings indicate that e-commerce contributes to accelerating product promotion, expanding international buyer networks, and improving logistics efficiency and transaction transparency in export activities. Nevertheless, several obstacles remain, including limited digital trade regulations, uneven digital infrastructure across regions, and low digital literacy among agribusiness MSMEs. This study concludes that e-commerce holds considerable potential to enhance the global reach of Indonesia's palm oil exports. Therefore, it is recommended that the government adopt supportive policies, strengthen the capacity of small and medium enterprises, and integrate digital logistics systems at the national level to fully harness the benefits of e-commerce in export development.

Nutmeg has high economic value and is an important trade commodity for Indonesia. However, the decline in nutmeg exports shows that there are problems that must be resolved in order to remain competitive in the global market. To assess the comparative competitiveness of Indonesian nuts in export destination markets, namely China, Vietnam, India, the Netherlands, and the United States, this study uses the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method and secondary data, namely time series data for 10 years from 2013 to 2022, with a statistical descriptive approach. Based on this data, it can be concluded that Indonesian nutmeg is competitively in the global market, as evidenced by the RCA value of more than one in five export destination countries. India has the lowest RCA value, while the Netherlands is the main market with the highest value. For future development, the Indonesian government should prioritize the development of markets such as China, Vietnam, and India, and stakeholders should work together more closely to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian nutmeg commodities in the international market.
