As many as 30 MSMEs under Jakpreneur are facilitated to sell their products through Ramadan Bazaar held at Cilandak Barat Urban Village Office, Cilandak District, South Jakarta.

"Business owners also benefit from the exemption from rental fees. This significantly boosts the economic activity in Cilandak Barat," he said, Wednesday (3/4).

He added that in addition to the MSME bazaar selling various superior products ranging from culinary, fashion, to crafts, the activity was also accompanied by the South Jakarta City Government's Cheap Market.
