Vice President, Jusuf Kalla encourages the handicraft industry to take advantage of electronic commerce (e-commerce) to improve the quality of its products. He views that by utilizing e-commerce, handicraft industry must meet standardization of quality and size, because many people in the future will buy goods by looking at the catalog.

“Handicraft must change by the existence of e-commerce. What to change is how to create goods with good quality and high standard. Buyers will buy via internet by seeing catalog,” said Vice President Jusuf Kalla in his speech at the International Handicraft -Inacraft 2018 exhibition in Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta on Wednesday (25 April).

Vice President Jusuf Kalla further remarked that if there is no standard of quality and size, it is very difficult to include it in e-commerce system. However, if standardization of quality and size measure has been fulfilled, the consumers will be able to trust and use this e-commerce technology. (VOI/Egi/Ndy/RHM)
