KUNMING, China (June 6, 2012): A number of Malaysian
SMEs are in this capital city of Yunnan province to participate in the
20th China Kunming Import and Export Fair that kicked off today. Their
aim is to penetrate the South China market.
Kenny Lin Chek Toong, Market Manager at Gin Seng Industrial (M) Sdn
Bhd, said his company's target was to record RM250,000 in sales during
the five-day Kunming Fair.
"With our specialty products, we hope to be able to penetrate the
Southern China market as the population is huge," he told Bernama at the
company's exhibition booth in the Kunming International Convention and
Exhibition Centre.
He said Gin Seng was already in talks with a potential Chinese
wholeseller and was looking forward to securing contracts over the next
few days.
"With the help of Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation
(Matrade), we only spend about RM10,000 in order to have our products
exhibited here," he said.
Michael Wong, a director at bird's nest company Mememory Mark that
already has four branches in China, said the fair would serve as a
platform for the company to expand its business in Yunnan province.
The company would like to set up a new branch in Yunnan, he said.
"Malaysia contributes about 30 per cent of the world bird's nest
industry and we hope to promote our speciality to the people here," he
said.
He said Malaysia produces good quality nests and with the very high
demand for Malaysian nests here, the company would continue to expand
its business here.
The bird's nest industry was now growing rapidly in China following
the lifting of the import ban on bird's nests from Malaysia, he said.
"Last year, we had an issue of nitrate content in our Malaysian
bird's nests but after the issue has been resolved, the demand for our
bird's nest has been good," he said.
It was reported that the annual Kunming Fair recorded about US$69.9 billion in terms of total trade volume last year.
More than 30 countries including Iran, Australia, Jordan, Kenya,
Japan and Italy take part this year's event that was officiated by
China's Commerce Vice Minister Chen Jian. – Bernama
