RRI.CO.ID, Tangerang — The Ministry of Trade appreciated the staging of the 2026 APKASI Otonomi Expo (AEO) at ICE BSD City, Tangerang, Banten, on Thursday, August 27, 2026. This local commodity exhibition is expected to open global market access and strengthen inter-regional trade networks.

The annual event was officially opened by Vice Minister of Home Affairs, Bima Arya Sugiarto. Various regency and city governments from all over Indonesia participated by displaying the best superior commodities of their respective regions.

Vice Minister of Trade, Dyah Roro Esti directly inspected the exhibition booths alongside a group of regional leaders. The presence of government officials demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting the expansion of local business investments at the global level.

Quoted from the ministry's photo news, the ministry appreciated the implementation of AEO 2026 as a promotional venue for local products with the potential to penetrate export markets. The government hopes this exhibition can significantly boost regional trade transaction volumes.

This step also serves as an important arena for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to expand business partnerships. Direct interaction among business actors is expected to open broader trade cooperation opportunities.

To support this business climate, the Ministry of Trade consistently assists regional business actors so they can compete globally. This facilitation includes business matching programs driven by Indonesian trade representatives in various countries.

Through the network of Trade Attachés and the Indonesia Trade Promotion Center (ITPC), local products gain wider opportunities to be marketed abroad. This synergy is expected to bring Indonesia's superior products further recognition in the global market.
