The Minister Of Communication And Information Asks To Improve The Quality Of MSME Products In Labuan Bajo

JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Information Johnny G Plate asked to improve the quality of MSME products exhibited at the Labuan Bajo Golo Koe Festival, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara.

"The results of the exhibition must be improved from time to time, both in terms of production quality, packaging, information regarding products, as well as branding and packaging," said Minister Johnny in a press conference after visiting the Golo Koe Labuan Bajo MSME Exhibition, Saturday night, quoted by Antara.

He conveyed this after seeing MSME products in the exhibition and discussing with MSME actors.

In addition to giving appreciation, he assessed that product improvement was important for the sustainability of the festival initiated by the Ruteng Diocese, the West Manggarai Regency Government, and the Implementing Body for the Labuan Bajo Flores Authority.

He assessed that with the availability of a much better digital infrastructure in West Manggarai, especially Labuan Bajo, of course, many local MSME productions have entered the online shop (market place).

Various MSME exhibitions that exist are very possible to make products well known so that they enter online figures.

"I think the regent has discussed and will move the institutions owned in coordination with the church to increase production so that it becomes a substitute for products needed by tourism here," he said.

In order to fully support tourism in this super priority tourism destination, the minister from Manggarai Regency hopes for the involvement of local human resources through increasing digital talent and digital literacy.

There are various programs from the Ministry of Communication and Informatics that can be used to improve human resources.

"So that local digital policies can develop in the same breath as national policies," he stressed.
