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.
