Abd Latiff to promote Sabah SME products in UK and EU

The mission features a two-week Taste of Sabah promotion at 11 well-known restaurants in London and a memorandum of understanding signing ceremony between Kristal Handal Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Yayasan Sabah Group with several wholesalers/distributors and online retailers in the UK and France.

Abd Latiff said the UK and France offer significant growth and immense opportunities for business collaborations.

"I am delighted to lead this Taste of Sabah promotion to spur opportunities for Made in Sabah products to mark their presence in the UK market," he said in a statement today.

He emphasised that the goal at the PM's Department, through TERAJU, is to help the B40 and M40 entrepreneurs extend their footprints into regional and global markets.

This mission is a vital step in the right direction to ensure the Global Entrepreneur One-Stop Centre (GLOPEC) Programme and participating Sabah entrepreneurs can network, learn about business opportunities, and build stronger bridges to grow their businesses, create jobs and benefit the community for a more sustainable and inclusive business model.

GLOPEC is a platform established through a strategic partnership between Yayasan Sabah Group and Bumiputera Affirmative Action Unit under the PM's Department (TERAJU) to assist Sabah SMEs in growing their business operations and connecting them to a larger network of global suppliers, importers and distributors.
