Surabaya, East Java (ANTARA) \u2013 PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Timur\nTbk (Bank Jatim) has helped three of its supported micro, small and\nmedium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) showcase their leading products and\nexplore trade opportunities in Aceh through the East Java Trade and\nInvestment Mission.<\/p>\n
Bank Jatim President Director Winardi Legowo said the company\u2019s\nparticipation in the trade mission represented a contribution by the\nbanking sector to connecting East Java\u2019s leading products with\nprospective buyers in other regions, while expanding opportunities for\ninterregional trade cooperation.<\/p>\n
\u201cBank Jatim views this Trade and Investment Mission as a strategic\nopportunity to connect the potential of MSMEs with wider market\nopportunities,\u201d he said in a statement in Surabaya on Friday.<\/p>\n
The three MSMEs supported by the bank were Masnia Collection from\nPasuruan, which produces embroidered clothing; Sharleez Skincare from\nSurabaya, which offers skincare products; and Batik Gajah Mungkur from\nGresik, which sells batik products.<\/p>\n
Through their participation, Bank Jatim is giving the businesses an\nopportunity to present their products directly to prospective buyers and\nbusiness partners in Aceh, while exploring potential transactions that\ncould extend the market reach of East Java products.<\/p>\n
Winardi said that banking support for MSMEs should be accompanied by\nimproved market access, so businesses have not only the capacity to\nexpand production but also the opportunity to increase sales and build\npartnerships beyond their home region.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa said trade\nmissions were a strategic instrument for connecting regions with\ncommodities to regions needing supplies, shortening distribution chains\nand expanding markets for leading domestic products.<\/p>\n
Khofifah said the trade mission\u2019s transaction results were supported\nby a process that vetted businesses and products at least twice, as well\nas at least five business-matching sessions, including online meetings,\nto connect production capacity with market demand.<\/p>\n
The transactions worth Rp1.21 trillion recorded during the mission,\nshe said, offered businesses in both provinces opportunities to develop\ntrade and investment cooperation that could be followed up on\nsustainably.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bank-jatim-helps-three-east-java-smes-explore-the-aceh-market-1792727624", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
