'We are confident that Johor consumers' purchasing power will help us surpass RM300,000 in total sales over the three-day programme, which involves 63 vendors,' he told Bernama at the carnival in Puteri Harbour today.
He said the pavilion features entrepreneurs from Johor, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan, representing a variety of local brands that are gaining traction among consumers.
'Among the well-known names taking part are Zus Coffee, Adabi and Mamee Double Decker, along with strategic partners such as Proton and Perodua, which are showcasing their products outside the pavilion,' he said.

Adiratno said the campaign not only focuses on food and beverages, but also highlights household items, health and beauty products, clothing and other lifestyle goods produced by local entrepreneurs.
'KBBM has been revitalised to boost public awareness and confidence in locally made products, which are comparable in quality to international brands. It also provides more space for local entrepreneurs to tap into wider markets,' he said.
He also urged the public to visit the carnival this long weekend and support local vendors, many of whom may not yet be widely recognised as Malaysian-made brands.

Bumiputera empowerment agenda continues in 13MP
KUALA LUMPUR: The bumiputera socio-economic empowerment agenda as outlined in the Bumiputera Economic Transformation Plan 2035 (PuTERA 35) continues to be emphasised in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said this effort ensures that no one is marginalised in the 13MP implementation, and at the same time, the government will continue to eradicate poverty regardless of ethnicity. "In principle, the government has always abided by what is enshrined in the Constitution, as emphasis is given to bumiputeras and this will always be safeguarded," he said when winding up the debate on the 13MP motion in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday. Amir Hamzah, who also carries out the duties and functions of the economy minister, stressed that the issue of poverty affects all regardless of ethnicity or religion, and the government needs to address poverty eradication holistically. "The bumiputera affirmative agenda will continue to be safeguarded as enshrined in the Constitution, and poverty will be addressed in line with the implementation of needs-based policies," he added. He said the government is committed to intensifying comprehensive development based on multiple dimensions to create equitable opportunities, thus increasing social mobility and the well-being of the rakyat through the needs-based approach. "This effort will benefit all target groups in need, including bumiputera, Orang Asli, Sabahans, Sarawak bumiputera, as well as the Indian and Chinese communities," he said. – Bernama
