Jakarta \u2014 Deputy Minister of Trade (Wamendag) Dyah Roro Esti urged\nthe public to become ambassadors for domestic products to the world. \u2018We\nall have a role to play as ambassadors for our flagship products in\nIndonesia, to be introduced to the world,\u2019 Wamendag Roro said in a\npodcast interview with ANTARA in Jakarta on Wednesday, 4 March. Roro\ncited one way as wearing local products when travelling abroad or\nmeeting friends from other countries. \u2018So self-diplomacy is something we\nalways undertake, because by taking pride in the products within\nourselves, we can help our UMKM grow,\u2019 she added. In addition, the\ngovernment through the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) is actively taking\nvarious steps to facilitate Indonesian micro, small and medium\nentrepreneurs who wish to take their business onto the world stage. One\nof these is the 41st Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI), to be held from 14-18\nOctober 2026, with a target of USD 17.5 billion in transactions, or\naround Rp293.3 trillion. Kemendag is optimistic that this year\u2019s target\ncan be achieved, supported by positive export trends with Indonesia\u2019s\nexports growing 6.15 percent in 2025. \u2018It\u2019s our time to showcase what\nIndonesia can offer, if the products we present are also very diverse.\nThere are food and beverages, there is furniture, there are chemicals,\nand even more technical sectors, such as machinery, but alongside that\nclothing, textiles, fashion,\u2019 said Roro. From the early registration\nstage, exhibitors are immediately facilitated through business matching\nwith potential buyers from abroad. He said the process involves trade\nattach\u00e9s and Indonesian representatives in 33 countries, so transaction\nopportunities can be prepared more thoroughly before the exhibition\ntakes place. \u2018For friends who are actually interested in exporting, this\nis the time for networking. There are seminars and talk shows, so we can\nconnect directly with the right people,\u2019 the Wamendag said. \u2018If we want\nto succeed, we must be proactive and we must work hard, and Trade Expo\nIndonesia is hoped to provide opportunities for the public to\ncommunicate, network, and learn. So hopefully this will also be\nbeneficial,\u2019 he added.<\/p>",
