Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas program Indonesia Spice Up The World (ISUTW) dalam memfasilitasi ekspansi pasar internasional bagi Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM), dengan fokus studi pada keberhasilan ekspor produk rempah-rempah UMKM Samara Micron ke Australia pada periode 2023-2024. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif analitis, riset ini mengkaji penerapan strategi gastrodiplomasi dan nation branding sebagai instrumen soft power untuk memperkuat citra positif Indonesia sekaligus mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional melalui peningkatan devisa dan pembukaan lapangan kerja baru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun terdapat kendala berupa regulasi impor bahan pangan yang ketat di Australia, sinergi antara kebijakan pemerintah melalui ISUTW dan peran aktif pelaku UMKM telah mampu meningkatkan daya saing produk lokal di pasar global serta mempererat hubungan bilateral ekonomi antara Indonesia dan Australia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Indonesia Spice Up the World (ISUTW) program in facilitating international market expansion for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), focusing on the successful export of spice products by Samara Micron MSMEs to Australia in 2023-2024. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach, this research examines the implementation of gastrodiplomacy and nation branding strategies as soft power instruments to strengthen Indonesia's positive image while simultaneously encouraging national economic growth by increasing foreign exchange earnings and creating new jobs. The results show that despite obstacles such as strict food import regulations in Australia, the synergy between government policies through ISUTW and the active role of MSMEs has increased the competitiveness of local products in the global market and strengthened bilateral economic relations between Indonesia and Australia.
