Netralnews is an online media company certified by the Press Council, and engages in three languages (Indonesian-English-Mandarin). Netralnews also invites SME managers to participate in webinars and seize export opportunities to foreign countries.

This webinar will be presentes as it is undeniable that SMEs continue to develop and flourish. Social media and WhatsApp groups are also often used for promoting products resulting from the creativity of small businesses.

In order to be promoted, Indonesian SMEs need to trade their products to the global market by becoming export SMEs. However, there are still many barriers to the export of SME products. This is the main cause of the difficulty of Indonesian products engaging the global market.

Earlier, Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said that there were 13,000 SMEs (including micro enterprises) that conducted exports in 2020. The total is still relatively low, even though the number of SMEs (including micro enterprises)reached 64.2 million according to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) this year.

SMEs face more export barriers than large-scale enterprises. SMEs still have to deal with difficulty in obtaining licensing, limited manpower, lack of access to outside markets, lack of funds, and significant logistics costs.

Export Hub notes that the first export barrier is access to global markets. Perhaps this is what attracted attention in the first place to become an export SME that can bring local products to the international stage.

Therefore, what is the potential of Indonesian products in the eyes of foreign consumers? Which countries are prospective to become a niche market for these products? Well, all of that will be answered in the webinar. The event will bring together SME managers and businesses throughout Indonesia, in addition to representatives from friendly countries.
