At the South Kalimantan Expo 2025 held in Banjarbaru, the South Kalimantan Provincial Trade Office displayed a booth with an aesthetic and elegant concept. This booth attracted visitors by showcasing the superior products of seven fostered entrepreneurs, some of whom have already surpassed the local market and are even in the process of preparing for export. The attractive visual design and selection of distinctive products, such as snacks, local syrups, traditional herbal medicines, traditional weavings, and sasirangan cloth, illustrate the potential of the region's creative economy, ready to penetrate the global market.
This step is not merely an exhibition, but a concrete strategy to strengthen the footprint of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the broader market. The Head of the South Kalimantan Trade Office, Ahmad Bagiawan, emphasized that this opportunity is crucial to galvanize the fostered entrepreneurs to expand further into national and international markets. Further coaching, including licensing and administrative assistance, is seen as a crucial catalyst for enabling local South Kalimantan products to compete more professionally and sustainably.
