Determining Regional Leading Products as a Strategy to Improve the Economic Competitiveness of Sukabumi City: LQ, Shift-Share, and Sector Typology Analysis
Abstract
The determination of regional superior products (PUD) is one of the main strategies of local governments in strengthening economic competitiveness and improving community welfare. The city of Sukabumi has established a long-term development vision as a Creative, Superior, Cultured, and Sustainable City, with a focus on economic transformation based on inclusiveness and justice. This study analyzes Sukabumi City's leading economic sectors to determine regional superior products using the Location Quotient (LQ), Shift-Share Analysis (SSA), and Sector Typology approaches. The data used is sourced from the Regional Domestic Product (RDP) of Sukabumi City and West Java Province for the 2019–2023 period. The results of the study show that there are ten leading regional products in Sukabumi City, namely: indigo, rice, carp, catfish, nutmeg, large chili peppers, bananas, sheep, coconuts, and beef cattle. This study provides strategic recommendations in the form of technology-based productivity improvements, strengthening the MSME innovation ecosystem, and export market diversification. This research is expected to serve as a reference for sustainable regional economic development policies based on local potential.
