\nbusinesses are expected to take part in the workshop, which will
\nbe opened on March 14.<\/p>\n
NAFED's chief, Rudy Lengkong (center), explained that out of
\nthe 124,990 small businesses surveyed by the agency in 1993, only
\n4.3 percent were involved in export activities. Most, however,
\ndid export their products through third parties.<\/p>\n
Small businesses, he said, have difficulties in terms of
\nfinance, management and marketing, when exporting their products.<\/p>\n
\"We will provide intensive counseling at the Yogyakarta
\nworkshop on export procedures,\" he said.<\/p>\n
