Collaboration with external parties such as the InaMikro company has also positively contributed to improving the legality and market access of local MSMEs.However, these MSMEs still face several challenges, including limited access to modern technology, capital, and broader markets. Continuous intervention from the government and related institutions is necessary to overcome these obstacles.
