The NTB Department of Trade, led by Baiq Nelly Yuniarti, met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) on 3 March 2025, to explore opportunities for promoting NTB’s MSME products in international markets. NTB Mall, as a platform for local products, continues to seek strategic partnerships to enhance competitiveness and global reach. Kemenlu recognized NTB’s proactive approach and suggested a focused export strategy, emphasizing one or two key products tailored to specific markets.
Key initiatives include collaborating with Indonesia Trade Promotion Centers (ITPC) and Trade Attachés to facilitate business matching, participating in international trade fairs, and leveraging Kemenlu’s platform for product promotion. Additionally, NTB MSME products may be featured as official souvenirs in diplomatic events. Despite budget limitations, the NTB Department of Trade remains committed to expanding export opportunities and ensuring local products gain international recognition. With strong government support, NTB’s MSMEs are set to thrive in the global market.
