Tilapia now become important export products around the world. Tilapia exported in frozen products, whole frozen tilapia and frozen fillet tilapia. Taiwan contribute to both products export, indeed become one of the major exporter countries. Taiwan’s strength and performances analysed using several methods, there were Export Competitiveness Index (XCI), Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Relative Import Advantage (RMA), Relative Trade Advantage (RTA), Relative Competitiveness (RC), and Cobb-Douglass Production function. Based on those calculation, the results indicated that Taiwan has a good competitiveness and good performance among exporter countries for both, frozen tilapia and frozen fillet tilapia. Cobb-Douglass analysis showed that exchange rate (NTD/USD) is a significant factor that may affect export’s performance. Taiwan expected to increase export for both products through many ways, thus leading to positive trade advantage consistently.
