In addition, some of the obstacles to the export of MSME products are slow product turnover in importing countries because product stocks do not sell out immediately in these countries and sometimes reach the expiration date. The number of Indonesian MSMEs has reached 65.5 million, which is the largest in ASEAN countries. In addition, the contribution of MSMEs is recorded at around 61% of the national PDP and absorbs 97% of the total workforce in 2021.
