The Chairman of the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), Bobby Lianto, together with his team held a strategic meeting with the Trade Attaché of the Indonesian Embassy in Manila, Martin P. Hutabarat, who was accompanied by the Trade Attaché staff, Ms. Tasya Manuela. This meeting aims to expand export opportunities for superior MSME products from NTT to the Philippine market and the Asia Pacific region. On that occasion, Bobby Lianto introduced various typical NTT products such as Ghaura chocolate, La Moringa, coffee, Malada soy sauce, and other moringa products. He also directly exhibited examples of MSME products to Mr. Dominic, the owner of 1Export Inc., an aggregator and import-export player from the Philippines.
Mr. Dominic, who has experience exporting products to countries such as Singapore, the United States, Vietnam, and the Asia Pacific region, showed great interest in NTT MSME products. He expressed interest in introducing these products to the Philippine and other regional markets, with the hope that NTT MSMEs can develop while maintaining product quality. Bobby Lianto appreciated the support of the Trade Attaché of the Indonesian Embassy in Manila who facilitated the meeting between Indonesian MSME players and local Philippine importers. He is optimistic that this collaboration will open up great opportunities for the development of NTT MSME product exports while increasing the competitiveness of local products in the international market. This activity is part of the efforts of the NTT Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Indonesian Embassy in Manila to strengthen bilateral trade relations between Indonesia and the Philippines and support the development of the MSME economy in the region. "With this strategic collaboration, it is hoped that superior products from NTT can be better known and accepted in the international market, especially the Philippines," said Bobby Lianto.
