Abstract

Indonesian Migrant Worker (IMWs) can also be used to provide product information from Indonesia that is available in the city where IMWs works. This is very helpful for identifying products made in Indonesia that are available abroad. This research aims to explore the export potential of Indonesian-made products based on IMWs perceptions. This research is a case study with 50 IMWs in Hong Kong. Data analysis uses descriptive statistics. Research results show that products made in Indonesia are available at supermarkets and grocery markets in Hong Kong such as herbs (spicy kitchen), instant noodles, instant drinks, snacks, body treatments, medicine and others. The products found in supermarkets and grocery markets in Hong Kong can be used as a potential export of Indonesian-made products in Hong Kong.
