July 14th, 2008
It starts tomorrow and lasts for almost two weeks. The aim is for local small and business enterprises (SMEs) to “gain access to information of overseas products.” This time, the Macau Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) is organising a “Catalogue Show of Indonesian Products and Services,” together with the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Hong Kong.
From tomorrow until July 25 the Indonesian products’ catalogue show will be on display at the centre, as a continuation of the debut Thai Catalogue Show held in May.
With both shows, the SME Service Centre of IPIM is planning a series of country-themed catalogue shows for local SMEs.
Being a member of ASEAN, Indonesia has gradually become a significant trading partner for Macau. Trading activities between Indonesia and Macau has been increasing since the SAR’s handover in 1999, with trade figures growing intensively and recording a 28.74 per cent increase from 2006 to 2007, up 32.97 per cent year on year.
According to statistical data, there is a growth of 13.83 per cent in the annual import value from Indonesia since 2000. Last year, total import value from Indonesia reached 203 million patacas, of which around 70 per cent were edible bird’s nest, food products, tableware and kitchenware, pumice stones, coffee and electronic products.
“The rich natural resources of Indonesia will enable Macau and Indonesia to benefit from long-term development in different arrays of business and economic co-operation,” a statement from IPIM said.
Through the joint efforts of the Indonesian Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Agriculture and Coordinating Board of Investment of Indonesia, an assorted collection of over 40 types of catalogues will be on display and over 5,000 catalogues will be available for distribution.
In addition, a wide range of materials, covering investment and travel guides, MICE information, promotional materials of food and beverages, agriculture, seafood, spices, handicraft industries and product pamphlets of Indonesian companies will also be included in the collection.
