The data source used is secondary data. Data analysis techniques used Revealed Comperative Advantage (RCA) and multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that the average Indonesian RCA is 0.751 <1, so that it can be categorized as having weak competitiveness. The results of multiple linear regression analysis show that simultaneously the United States dollar exchange rate, production, IHPB and PMA have a significant effect on Indonesian nickel ore exports in 1995-2014. Partially the United States dollar exchange rate variable has significant and significant effect on nickel ore exports, while production, IHPB and PMA have a positive and significant effect on Indonesian nickel ore exports in 1995-2014.
