Building the capacity of government officials to negotiate multilateral, regional, and bilateral trade agreements and to establish and implement an export promotion strategy has become a priority for Indonesia. The TPSA Project undertook a two-day workshop in May 2016 that explored how Indonesian SMEs can increase their exports by strengthening their involvement in the standards and food safety areas, and how government agencies and business associations can align their activities to make good use of standards and regulations to support exports of SMEs to Canada and other countries. Over 30 officials from the government and private sector attended the workshop led by experts from the Standards Council of Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
