"We invite UKM to appear. Thank God this year has entered its second year. There were 50 tents provided by the committee, but there were 104 on the list, so they shared tents with each other, some even used their own tents. If we don't limit this, we are sure there will be more who want to participate. Hopefully it can revive the economy of the SME sector after the pandemic," said Ainia.
He said, during the implementation of Gebyar Ramadan, it was also filled with entertainment stages.
Which will be filled with various art performances from schools and government service talk shows from various agencies or OPD.
"We also invite the Licensing Service, DPMPTSP to open small and medium business permit service outlets during the Ramadan celebration. So that UKM players who do not yet have a business license, PIRT, to NIB can take care of it directly without having to come to MPP. We are also working with the Ministry of Religion to take care of halal product certification for the SME sector," he added.
He hopes that there will be a circulation of up to billions of rupiah during the implementation of this year's Ramadan festival. His party is optimistic that it can surpass last year's because this time there is already budgetary support from the relevant OPD to facilitate the implementation of this activity.
While Regent Arief Rohman, this bazaar is an exhibition venue as well as buying and selling of UKM products, home products that are of good quality to the general public.
