[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City, Gyeongnam, has seen "considerable benefits" by assisting export small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Changwon City, Gyeongnam, announced on the 5th that it held an online export consultation meeting for two days starting from the 3rd to expand exports to Indonesia for SMEs in the local machinery consumer goods sector.

During this consultation meeting alone, a total of 25 cases resulted in $6.35 million in export consultation achievements, and contracts worth $2.15 million were concluded.

As part of the "2021 Overseas Trade Delegation Dispatch Support Project" carried out to strengthen export competitiveness, Changwon invited 25 local buyers from the machinery and consumer goods sectors, whose purchasing power was verified through local market research in Jakarta, Indonesia, to conduct one-on-one video consultations.

Previously, the Changwon Industry Promotion Agency sent company promotional materials, products, and samples in advance based on the experience accumulated through online consultations conducted so far. They also pre-arranged and trained interpreters suitable for overseas buyers to ensure smooth consultations.

Changwon focused on increasing the possibility of successful transactions by confirming buyers' items of interest through collaboration with the private network in Jakarta, Indonesia, via prior demand surveys.

Additionally, to facilitate smooth consultations and contract signings, interpretation support was provided, and continuous follow-up management is planned to draw out purchase intentions, future plans, and additional contract results.

Baek Jeong-han, director of the Promotion Agency, said, "The Indonesian market, with a population of 280 million, is expected to have great potential for market expansion after COVID-19, supported by continuous economic growth and the Korean Wave." He added, "We will prepare support measures to establish export strategies that respond to the post-COVID era."

Companies wishing to participate in the upcoming online video export consultation meetings can apply through the Changwon Industry Promotion Agency website.
