An export commodity is one of the macroeconomic factors that must be considered to enhance economic growth. One of the export commodities is rice. Rice is also one of the commodities that are traded in the current era of free trade. Free trade has ability to increase national income and give a trigger to the country's economic growth through international trade mechanisms.

The research looked at how the impact of rice trade liberalization on economic growth and how the influence of rice exports and imports on economic growth.
