tate-owned railway operator PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) is lending its support to the development of local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by organizing SME bazaars in 14 major train stations on Java and Sumatra.
KAI president director Edi Sukmoro said the bazaars would open on Jan. 12, 2017, and showcase products from 171 SMEs for 16 days. The participating SMEs have previously received assistance from KAI and other state-owned enterprises.
"The bazaars aim to introduce SME products to KAI passengers,” Edi said Wednesday.
From the 14 venues, Gambir train station in Central Jakarta and Bandung train station in West Java will host the biggest exhibitions, with around 40 SMEs showcasing their products.
Other train stations, including Surabaya’s Gubeng station, will host around 20 SMEs. (hwa)
