Keywords: Dollar Exchange Rate. Inflation. Production and Exports INTRODUCTION Indonesia is known as an archipelagic country with enormous marine potential. One of the leading commodities from Indonesia's fisheries sector is tuna. Tuna has high economic value and is one of the main commodities in Indonesia's marine exports. North Sumatra Province is one of the regions that contributes significantly to tuna production and exports. With its strategic location near the Malacca Strait. North Sumatra has broad access to international markets. High inflation rates can increase domestic production costs, thereby affecting the selling price of products in the international market. On the other hand, tuna production in North Sumatra also depends on environmental factors, fishing technology, and infrastructure High and sustainable production can ensure supply for export needs. This research is important to understand how the dollar exchange rate, inflation, and production affect the performance of tuna exports in North Sumatra Province. This analysis is expected to provide insights for local governments and business actors in formulating policies that support export stability. Tuna exports from North Sumatra Province face various challenges influenced by global and domestic economic fluctuations. One of the main problems is the instability of the dollar exchange rate. Data shows that the dollar exchange rate against the rupiah often experiences sharp fluctuations, which could potentially affect the price competitiveness Journal of Taxation. Accounting. Management and Economics. Vol. October 2024 of tuna in the international market. In addition, the inflation rate in Indonesia, especially in North Sumatra, is also an issue that needs to be considered. High inflation can increase operational costs such as fuel for fishing vessels, workers' wages, and logistics costs. This can reduce the profit margins of fisheries businesses and hamper export growth. From the production side, the sustainability of tuna stocks is a major concern. LITERATURE REVIEW Exports According to the Ministry of Customs and Excise, exports are activities involving the removal of goods from customs areas in accordance with customs laws. According to another definition, exports are the sale of goods and services from within the country to other countries (Mankiw, 2. Meanwhile, according to Priadi . , export activities are a trading system carried out by sending goods from within the country to foreign countries based on applicable regulations. From an expenditure perspective, exports are also an important component of aggregate expenditure, which is influenced by the level of national income to be achieved, and is therefore closely related to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Theoretically, a country exports when domestic production exceeds domestic consumption, so that producers have the opportunity to market their goods abroad. Factors that influence the export of a good from the supply side are: first, the relative price domestically compared to the price abroad. Second, the exchange rate of the domestic currency against foreign currencies. Third, domestic consumption. Fourth, trade policy (Kusumastuti, 2. Dollar Exchange Rate The dollar exchange rate, or dollar exchange rate, is the price of one unit of the United States dollar (USD) expressed in another country's currency, such as the rupiah in Indonesia. According to Sukirno . , the exchange rate is one of the most important prices in an open economy because of its significant influence on the current account balance and other macroeconomic variables. According to Adiningsih . , the rupiah exchange rate is the price of the rupiah against other currencies. Fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate can affect the competitiveness of export products, import costs, inflation, and overall economic Inflation Inflation is one of the issues that can disrupt the economic stability of a country, including Indonesia. This country has faced several inflation crises that have nearly led to national economic bankruptcy. According to Purnomo . , inflation is defined as follows: "Inflation is a situation where the economy of a country experiences a long-term upward trend in the prices of goods and services. This is caused by an imbalance between the flow of money and goods, and this increase is temporary. Inflation occurs when the amount of money in circulation is greater than what is needed. According to Widjajanta and Widyaningsih . , inflation is defined as follows: AuInflation is a process of continuous increase in general prices. The purchasing power of the people decreases because their real income also decreases. Ay Production According to Mulyani & Herawati . , production is an activity to create or add value to a good or service. The production function shows the relationship between production factors and the level of production output, so that if a company wants to produce a higher output, it must use more inputs. Production factors include capital, labor, and According to Sukirno . , production is an activity carried out by humans to produce a product, whether goods or services, which is then utilized by consumers.

The secondary data was obtained from the national and regional Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in North Sumatra. OJK. Bank Indonesia, and other publications related to this study. Data Collection Techniques Data collection techniques are methods used by researchers to reveal or gather quantitative information in accordance with the scope of the research. The data collection techniques used in this study are as follows: A Library Research A Internet ResearchTeknik Analisis Data Classical Assumption Test Data Normality Test According to Ghozali . , the normality test aims to test whether in the model, the disturbance variable or residual has a normal distribution. Multicollinearity Test According to Ghozali . , this test aims to examine whether there is correlation between independent variables in the regression model. A good regression model should not have correlation between independent variables. If independent variables are correlated, then these variables are not orthogonal. Orthogonal variables are independent variables whose correlation values with other independent variables are Heteroscedasticity Test According to Ghozali . , the heteroscedasticity test is to test whether there is a difference in the variance of the residuals from one observation to another in the regression model. If the variance of the residuals from one observation to another is constant, it is called homoscedasticity, and if the variance is different, it is called A good regression model is one that is homoscedastic or does not exhibit heteroscedasticity. Autocorrelation Test According to Ghozali . , the autocorrelation test aims to test whether there is a correlation between the disturbance error in period t and the disturbance error in period t-1 . in the linear regression model. A good regression model is one that is free from autocorrelation. Hypothesis Testing According to Ghozali . , the accuracy of the sample regression function in estimating actual values can be assessed by its goodness of fit. Statistically, this can be measured at least from the coefficient of determination (R. , the F statistic value, and the t statistic Statistical calculations are considered statistically significant if the statistical value is within the critical region . he region where Ho is rejecte. , and conversely, they are considered insignificant if the statistical value is within the region where Ho is accepted.

Management and Economics. Vol. October 2024 SUGGESTIONS Based on the findings of the above study, the following recommendations can be made: With regard to the dollar exchange rate variable, it is recommended that the government and business actors take advantage of favorable fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate by strengthening the competitiveness of tuna products in the international market. One step that can be taken is to ensure that product quality meets export standards, so that selling prices remain competitive even if the dollar exchange rate changes. Regarding the inflation variable, it is recommended that production costs be influenced by efficient management through technological innovation and operational cost control to reduce its negative impact. The government also needs to create stable economic policies to maintain purchasing power and stabilize raw material prices for tuna producers. Regarding the production variable, it is recommended that increasing production capacity be a top priority. Government support in the form of technical training for fishermen, the provision of modern fishing facilities, and sustainable marine resource management can ensure the availability of raw materials to meet increasing export demand.
