Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade reported that MSMEs secured nearly US$135 million in export transactions and potential deals throughout 2025 [1]. The figure was achieved through online business matching, a process that connects local sellers with international buyers via digital platforms [1]. The program aims to boost Indonesian exports by helping smaller businesses access global markets without costly physical trade fairs [1].

Alongside these deals, the Ministry of Trade is increasing support for MSMEs to help them understand and follow export regulations [2]. The initiative aims to simplify complex trade rules that often block small businesses from selling products abroad [2]. By offering clearer guidance and resources, the government hopes to boost international sales for local entrepreneurs [2].
