PONTIANAK - Various breakthroughs to increase national exports continue to be carried out by the Ministry of Trade. The latest breakthrough was made by establishing an export promotion center (Marketing Point) at the Entikong State Border Post (PLBN), Sanggau, West Kalimantan. The signing of the memorandum of understanding was signed by the Director General of National Export Development Didi Sumedi with the Governor of West Kalimantan Sutarmidji, Monday (29/11).
"This signing is the basic foundation in carrying out efforts to increase exports of products originating from the Province of West Kalimantan, especially through the Entikong PLBN. In addition, this signing is also a form of synergy between institutions in the national export sector," said Didi.
Through the memorandum of agreement, the Ministry of Trade is tasked with coordinating the establishment of an export promotion center, including organizing various programs to increase market share for national products and/or regional superior products. Meanwhile, the Provincial Government of West Kalimantan is responsible for providing regional support for the implementation of the export promotion center.
The establishment of the Marketing Point in Entikong, continued Didi, is intended to encourage economic growth in the border area of West Kalimantan Province and also as an effort to increase market share for regional superior products in neighboring countries. (LM)
