JAKARTA (JP): PT Humpuss Madya Pratama, a subsidiary of the Humpuss Group, will hold two exhibitions in Singapore and Beijing later this year to promote the country's export products.

Madya's president, Srisetiowati Seiful, said here yesterday that the exhibitions, called "Indonesia in Progress '95", will be held in Singapore on Aug. 2-6 and in Beijing on Oct. 5-9.

She said that the exhibition in Singapore will focus on handicrafts, textiles and garments and other products, while the other one in Beijing will exhibit mostly agricultural products including latex, plywood, vegetable oil, palm oil and canned food.

She said that the activities, supported by the department of international trade of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, have been in preparation since 1991.

"We expect that about 100 to 125 Indonesian companies will take part in each of the two exhibitions," Srisetiowati said. (icn)
