RI TO HOST ECO-PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL FAIR 2010
Jakarta, June 15 (ANTARA) - Indonesia will host Eco-Products International Fair (EPIF) 2010 in Jakarta in March next year, an Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) official said.
"EPIF 2010 will include two main activities, namely international exhibition and conference on environmentally-friendly products," Rahmat Gobel, a Kadin deputy chairman, said here on Monday.
Rahmat Gobel told the press about the upcoming international fair after reporting on the preparations for the event to Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Sri Mulyani Indrawati.
The Eco-Products International Fair would be organized with the cooperation of KADIN, the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), and the National Productivity Organization (NPO) Indonesia, he said.
"More than 300,000 people, from Indonesia as well as overseas, are expected to visit the international fair. Foreign visitors will come from around 20 countries in Asia and the Pacific," he said.
Indonesia had a great interest in holding the world fair in order to support its efforts to boost the domestic economic growth supported by productivity improvement, he said.
"Meanwhile, through the exhibition, we will promote and market our environmentally-friendly products," he said.
The EPIF 2010 in Jakarta will be the sixth. Held for the first time in Kuala Lumpur in 2004, the fair and conference is one of the biggest of its kind in the world. The second EPIF was held in Bangkok (2005), the third in Singapore (2006), the fourth in Hanoi (2008), and the fifth in Manila (2009).
The EPIF is a yearly activity of the Asian Productivity Organization (APO), a Tokyo-led group composed of 20 countries across the continent dedicated to the promotion of quality management and green productivity.
The EPIF 2009 in Manila last year was designed to accomplish the advocacy of green productivity among the citizens of its 20 member-states and the dissemination of environment friendly technologies, processes, and products developed by participating companies. ***
