The training participants, who are mostly MSME and IKM actors, are equipped with various knowledge so that they can enter the export market, especially in the field of marketing that utilizes online media and as an effort to improve the quality of competitive products.

Head of Payment System Team, Rupiah Money Management and BI Malang Administration Services, Rini Mustikaningsih said that training like this is very important. According to her, Indonesian MSME products, such as fashion and agricultural products such as coffee have high quality and are worthy of entering the international market.

"What we hope is of course that the quality of MSMEs and IKMs' products will continue to improve, so that they can continue to export. As the KEMI Chairperson said, those who have not exported can export, and those who have exported can later increase their exports," added the woman in the hijab.

The same thing was also conveyed by the Chairman of KEMI, Kustanto. According to him, if the UMKM and IKM actors are accommodated, and have one vision when marketing products, then penetrating the global market is very easy.

"So far, European, Middle Eastern and Asian countries have been potential markets for Indonesian MSME and SME products," he said.

In the future, he said that a number of countries that are not considered, such as Tanzania and the Maldives, will be targeted by Indonesian MSMEs and SMEs. "In these island countries, there is no manufacturing, so they need finished products, and this is a great opportunity for our MSMEs and SMEs," concluded Kustanto. (say/yon)
