Deputy Minister of Trade (Wamendag) Dyah Roro Esti Widya Putri stated that the Ministry of Trade (Kemendag) supports Bali's small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to increase market access through exhibitions.
This was conveyed by Roro after visiting the Kahyangan House of Jewelry in Gianyar Regency, Bali, Tuesday, January 14. He advised MSME players to always maintain and improve product quality and good relations with buyers so that their products can compete and their businesses can be sustainable.
"For MSMEs, exhibitions are important because they are a promotional event to increase market access. I advise you to maintain product quality and good relations with buyers," said Roro in a statement in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, January 15.
Last year, the Ministry of Trade had encouraged increased market access for MSMEs through promotions at various other exhibition events, such as Inacraft, Kriya Nusa, Dekranas Anniversary, and Jakarta Muslim Fashion Week (JMFW).
At the Mall to Mall exhibition in the framework of the Proud Made in Indonesia (BBI) program in Banten Province, the Ministry of Trade has facilitated 96 business actors. Meanwhile, at the Nusa Food exhibition, 166 business actors and 50 typical Nusantara culinary delights have also been facilitated by the Ministry of Trade.
"In an effort to expand the market, the Ministry of Trade is taking steps to strengthen international trade diplomacy. This includes actively participating in international fora, accelerating the settlement of trade negotiations, and resolving trade disputes," said Roro.
