Facilitation Centre will act as a platform for our member exporters to organise meetings with their buyers from across the world, thus improve their network and build trade relationship. 80-90% of the industry is MSMEs and the facilitation centre would be a great opportunity for our members, especially MSME members to invite clients and have business meetings in a comfortable and relaxed environment. I urge every GJEPC member to take advantage of this facilitation centre and grow their business.”
