KBRI Beijing, in collaboration with KJRI Guangzhou and ITPC Shanghai, supported by KPw Bank Indonesia in Beijing, actively promoted Indonesian fishery and seafood products at the China (Fuzhou) International Fisheries Expo (FIFE) held from June 2-4, 2023 in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China. China is a strategic market for Indonesian fishery and seafood products, with exports reaching USD 1.12 billion in 2022. Fujian, meanwhile, serves as one of the main gateways for Indonesian fishery and agricultural products to enter China. In 2022, exports of Indonesian fishery and seafood products through Fujian reached USD 267.7 million, a 33.9% increase compared to the previous year.
Eight companies showcased their seafood products at the Indonesian Pavilion, attracting potential Chinese buyers. Throughout the three-day exhibition, potential transaction values between exhibition participants and Chinese buyers exceeded USD 2.5 million. The presence of KPw Bank Indonesia in Beijing further supported the event by bringing samples of products from Indonesian micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) supported by Bank Indonesia. The FIFE exhibition serves as a means of revitalizing Indonesian fishery and seafood product exports to China and introducing more prominent Indonesian products to the Chinese market.
