Abstract
The trade of agriculture products between ASEAN countries has grown rapidly since the establishment of the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). By using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Intra-Industry Trade (IIT) indexes, this study empirically analyses the competitiveness and complementarities among the ASEAN-5 countries for agriculture products. The results shows that IIT is relatively limited and RCA for Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam revealed intense competition among each other in the agriculture sector. Interestingly, the results also showed that Vietnam strongly competed against Thailand and Indonesia, which was detrimental towards both these countries and resulted to these countries losing their competitiveness in several product categories. ASEAN-5 countries have also shown diverse trends of competitiveness for each product category in the agriculture industry and the level of competitiveness coupled with low intra-industry trade reflect that there are policy mismatches that curb further trade integration in the industry despite several efforts under AFTA.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
