Jakarta PPKUKM Agency Head, Elisabeth Ratu Dante Allo expressed the bazaar event was held to provide convenience for SMEs in marketing their products to the wider community.

"It is held at the same time in order to realize the commitment to empower MSMEs," she expressed, Monday (5/8).

He explained MSMEs had succeeded in reaping a turnover of a total of Rp 1.3 billion from 63 bazaars that had been held. This amount shows that people have high purchasing power for local products.

Besides high purchasing power, competitiveness between MSME products, especially in Jakarta is also capable of increasing the use of domestic products.

"It can be seen from the presence of several MSME products in various retail stores such as food halls to ranch markets," she stated.
