Abstract

Malaysia, one of the global major fish producers, has highly traded fisheries products given its many water bodies. Nonetheless, it faces a serious fish trade deficit, implying that the Malaysian fisheries sector might lose its competitiveness in the global market. This paper adopts a modified constant market share (CMS) analysis, which incorporates a net-share approach index and geometric framework, to measure the export competitiveness of the Malaysian fisheries sector. The findings reveal that half of the fisheries products exhibit optimistic export competitiveness. Malaysia reflects the strongest competitiveness in exporting frozen fish and the least competitiveness in the export of crustaceans. Additional effort and attention on those less competitive groups of aquatic invertebrates, live fish and crustaceans are required to improve the export performance. Application of the modified approach is highly proposed as it is not only a simple measurement that gives relatively more accurate results but also succeeds to overcome inconsistency in the traditional approach. The findings provide evidence of unrealised fish export potential regarding product categories, which helps policymakers, traders and marketers to develop their long-term strategic plans and enhance the export competitiveness of the fisheries sector in Malaysia.
马来西亚渔业出口竞争力:市场份额不变分析
马来西亚是全球主要鱼类生产国之一,由于其水体众多,其渔业产品交易量很大。尽管如此,马来西亚仍面临严重的鱼类贸易赤字,这意味着马来西亚渔业部门可能会失去其在全球市场上的竞争力。本文采用修正的恒定市场份额(CMS)分析,结合净份额法指数和几何框架,来衡量马来西亚渔业部门的出口竞争力。调查结果显示,一半的渔业产品表现出乐观的出口竞争力。马来西亚的冷冻鱼类出口竞争力最强,甲壳类动物出口竞争力最低。需要进一步努力和关注那些竞争力较低的水生无脊椎动物、活鱼和甲壳类动物群体,以改善出口业绩。强烈建议应用改进的方法,因为它不仅是一种简单的测量方法,可以给出相对更准确的结果,而且可以成功地克服传统方法中的不一致性。研究结果提供了有关产品类别的未实现鱼类出口潜力的证据,有助于决策者、贸易商和营销人员制定长期战略计划,提高马来西亚渔业部门的出口竞争力。
