Reviewing Ecoprint Business Group Panunam Singkawang, West Kalimantan Governor Encourages Textile Exports

PONTIANAK - The Governor of West Kalimantan, Sutarmidji encouraged the Ecoprint Pacunam business group which is engaged in textiles and in Singkawang to continue to grow and promote its products from national to international level.

"While on a working visit in Singkawang, I stopped by the Pacunam Ecoprint MSME production house. From this product, all you have to do is color it, look for interesting colors, because if you wear clothes, look for bright natural colors because if you use bright colors, they will be good," Sutarmidji was quoted as saying. Between, Sunday 9 October.

Sutarmidji prays for the craftsmen who are survivors of leprosy to always be healthy and create works that can make West Kalimantan proud.

"I pray that you are always healthy and don't think that the disease cannot be cured, the most important thing is that we can work. Not necessarily people who have no shortcomings can work like you," he said.

As is known, the process of making fabrics using the ecoprint technique uses one hundred percent natural ingredients without any harmful chemicals used, so the process is environmentally friendly and has no impact on the health of its workers and users.

He said that currently around 70 percent of economic development is contributed by the MSME sector. For this reason, he asked all sectors in West Kalimantan to continue to be mobilized, so that MSME business actors could explore everything, including handicraft, culinary, and so on.

He also hopes that the Regent/Mayor in West Kalimantan Province can provide education to MSME actors to access cheap sources of financing from the Government.
