This forum is aimed at entrepreneurs and businessmen of MSEs with export potential and those who already export, and who wish to update their knowledge in the area of international trade belonging to various economic sectors: handicrafts, textile and clothing, footwear, technological development, food, beverages, food agribusiness respectively.

The main objective of the forum is to train MSEs in export culture in order to promote the exportable offer in the international market, taking into account the need to prepare and adapt their products or services to international requirements.

With this type of activities, CONAMYPE seeks to reduce non-tariff barriers to exports by MSEs, such as lack of knowledge of international requirements, standards and regulations.

As of september 2023, CONAMYPE has advised 1,486 MSEs on export-related issues; by 2022, the MSEs assisted by the institution total $266,386.50 dollars abroad.

Currently, 244 MSEs assisted by our institution contribute 1034 products to the exportable supply of our country in the following sectors: food, beverages, textiles and clothing, food agribusiness, services, natural cosmetics, various manufactures, footwear, handicrafts, furniture, among others.
