KUALA LUMPUR (March 7): Malaysia becomes a gateway for Japanese products to the ASEAN market as envisaged in the Japan Mall project that aims to promote international online sales of a wide selection of cosmetics and foods through purchase-and-sales support from major e-commerce sites overseas.
Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) Kuala Lumpur managing director Mai Onozawa said the online sales platform in Malaysia could be a stepping stone to expand Japanese products to other ASEAN countries, as Malaysia has the highest e-commerce potential with its high percentage of people with smart devices.
She said Malaysia also has an attractive consumer market in the upper-class income bracket.
