Mr Yang Jianming, Vice Chairman of the Jinhua City Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) Representative, stated that they are opening opportunities for Jember’s local products, such as coffee and cocoa, to be marketed in Jinhua.

“The characteristics of coffee and cocoa products align with Yiwu City in Jinhua, which serves as one of the world’s largest commodity distribution centres; therefore, Jember’s products have significant potential for the market there,” he remarked.

The delegation from Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China, was welcomed with performances by JFC talents and Patrol music, traditional arts unique to Jember Regency that reflect the region’s rich local culture and spirit of togetherness, at the Pendapa Wahyawibawagraha.
