Business Center Corporation (BCC) has established an Authentic Maldives online shop on Alibaba, enabling Maldivian businesses to access international markets through the global e-commerce platform.

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu announced on Wednesday that businesses registered under Authentic Maldives are now able to sell their products on Alibaba. The initiative allows local vendors to market Maldivian-made products to a global customer base.

Minister of Economic Development and Trade Mohamed Saeed welcomed the development, stating that the launch of the online store provides global market access for more than 400 Maldivian vendors. He said the initiative supports efforts to expand opportunities for local entrepreneurs and promote authentic Maldivian products internationally.

The Minister also noted that the initiative reflects practical outcomes of the China–Maldives Free Trade Arrangement by facilitating access to one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms. He stated that the project represents a key policy initiative of President Dr Muizzu and reflects the Government’s commitment to digital trade, economic diversification and strengthening international partnerships.
