AN e-commerce platform, set for a definite launch before year-end, will help create a national market for micro, small and medium enterprises .
The DTI chief named the “GoLokal” program of the trade department as a “market access” platform for Philippine MSMEs’ “incubation, marketing and branding.” Pascual told reporters last week that the said businesses only have access in the National Capital Region during trade fairs in malls. GoLokal, on the other hand, “will create the national market for them. And eventually, international markets.”
Pascual noted that for digital transformation, MSMEs need to imbibe digital processes to connect to linked payment systems: “The e-commerce platform that we are producing or launching between DTI and DICT is for that purpose.” As for the e-catalog: “[It will be very transparent…because the prices are published…hopefully it will reduce corruption, because in] the procurement by government offices, the quantity will be known, the price is already published…[Overpricing will be difficult to achieve],” the trade chief added.
