KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 (Bernama) -- Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) is set to identify 50 local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in producing fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) to showcase their products at the Malaysia Trade Centre Singapore (MTCS), which will be held at end of this year.

Senior Director Export Development Division Datuk Dzulkifli Mahmud said only SMEs registered with Matrade can participate at the six-month event in the republic.

"MTCS will be a platform for these SMEs to promote their products in Singapore and also to the other Asian countries as well as in Europe.

"We are directly exporting to Singapore, but this programme is an addition to what we have done. In order to penetrate other markets, we need many channels," he said.

He also said this initiative is not just exporting to the Singapore market, but being a regional hub, it also will help re-export the Malaysia's products to other countries as well.
