A two-day workshop was held in Kuala Lumpur on March 28 and 29 to explore opportunities for co-operative-to-co-operative (C2C) trade. The purpose of the workshop was to provide each organization a platform to advertise its business intent and top five cooperative products; enlighten participants on the development and solutions in C2C trade; and find trade opportunities and enhance their network within ICA-AP.  100 cooperators from 14 countries - India, China, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Nepal, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Palestine, Sri Lanka, Vanuatu, and Vietnam - attended the workshop, presented their top five co-operative products and discussed opportunities in the business matching sessions. The top products were mainly agriculture related and in varying stages of value addition. Mr. Ridley Joseph, Director, Office of Registrar of Cooperatives and Business Development Services, Vanuatu who was participating in an ICA event for the first time said, “I am seeing for the first time products that we don’t see. We usually throw away bones and skin, but here these have been converted to usable products. I see many opportunities for us to collaborate.” Mr. Christopher Emille Jayanta of Kommunitas Orgnik Indonesia felt that the workshop provided the opportunity for his organization to have deeper engagement with cooperatives in Malaysia where the focus is on developing health spas through cooperatives throughout the country. Speaking at the Welcome Dinner, Ms. Hajah Hawa Binti Mohammed Saleh, Deputy Executive Chairman of the Malaysia Co-operatives Societies Commission spoke about the Commission’s commitment to enhance engagement of co-operatives in economic activities and in promoting trade.
