Chief Executive Officer of Tesco Malaysia Georg Fischer said the company remained committed to supporting the Malaysian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and helping them gained greater exposure in the international market.

"As a leading multinational retailer, Tesco is in a unique position to offer Malaysian suppliers the opportunities to go global.

"Today, we are glad to see 15 Malaysian SMEs joining us in the TOM programme. These products have gone through meticulous processes and evaluation to ensure they meet all the necessary requirements and certification of the Korean authorities," he said in a statement here Monday.

The product line ranges from biscuits, dried seafood, sauces, soft drinks and frozen food to chocolates and ready-to-eat meals, he said.

"As Koreans and Malaysians share a lot of cultural similarities and mutual love for food, we are confident that the Korean customers will enjoy the TOM products," he added.

This year is the fourth year of Tesco's participation in the TOM programme.
