"We're optimistic superior products and services produced by 38 guided companies can compete with other countries. Several superior products are honey, juice drinks, food, coffee, tea, handicrafts, etc," said Head of Jakarta KUMKMP Department, Joko Kundaryo.

He explained that before being exhibited in the Trade Expo, a tight selection was already done on companies and products that will participate. "All of this is a proposal of the KUMKMP Sub-Department in five areas. Selection is important in a bid to avoid similar products," he expressed.

Kundaryo expressed one of the requirements to join the event is the company should be able to produce products simultaneously or continuously. In addition, its production capacity should also meet the consumer's target request.
