Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation (PKKM) Terengganu branch director Khairul Hafizi Naharuddin said PKKM was confident the target could be met because RM502,700 in sales were made in a five-day promotion programme last year.

"Originally, we only targeted sales of RM250,000 last year, but the amount reaped was much more and this proved the popularity of Malaysian handicraft.

"In fact, the response received from entreprenuers who took part in the promotion was also very encouraging. Requests to participate in the promotion this year went up to 54 compared to 21 last year," he told Bernama, here, Saturday.

Among the entreprenuers involved were in textiles, namely batik and songket, jungle produce, handicraft including women accessories, metal and pottery industries.

Several visitors who were met by Bernama said that they were excited with the promotion which exhibited numerous 'unique and special' handicraft products from all over the country.
