However, in order side, the capability of the nationa! c,offtes in intemational markets is still lower. The lower capability is closely relalad to several factors affecting the competitive power of cofftee. For that reason, an effort is required to find know the determining factors of such a competitive power of the coffep. It makes provision of inputs important espocially with the parties t-ra( are interest especially with the government and business worldwide to evaluate and analysis to which the extent of the identification has been made for the strategically factors of competitive power of the coffee either externally or intcrnally. Furthermore it is expected from the identification to find the strategically dercrmining factors of the competitive power of the national coffee to be a basic consideration for determination of the strategically alternatives of improving &c competitive power. The analysis of date in the present study was canied out by using an external and internal setting approach viewed fr,om the competitive advantage of nalion theory, industrial structural analysis and value cbain of Porter. Jhe 5esult of study of strarcgi,cally determining fpctors of the competitive power of the national coffee producd 20 (twenty) factorq consising of stneng@ Weakness' Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) each of which consisted of 5 (frve) factors that was then tested using EFE an IFE matrixes to find a strategic formulation in improving tlre competitive power. Based on the result of study, the competitive power of the national coffee was influenced by the extemal factors such as fluctuation in price due to thee international demand to coffee and the existence oftelecommunication facility and ottrer opportunities. It is due to that coffee has main marketplaces in London and New York so that any movement of price may change almost any time, depending on the demand and supply occurred in the markets- Similarly, with the oppornrnity factor and several threats to the competitive power of the national coffee more tend to the working capitalfinterest ratq promotion of the proponent farmerVcollector of cof[ee and the challenge of the world trade and other threats. Whereas with internal factors especially the sterrgth factor influencing tlre competitive power of the national coffee is that should be further taken into a@ount if we wish to compete in international markcts such as better quality supportd by technical skill and managernent with a special experience in spite of the favorable relationship with the zuppliers and other strength factors. The weakness of the competitive power of the national coffe included the lower relatively bargaining power or exporter, the lack of dishibution channelq competition in price among the exporters and other weakness factors.
