LOCAL small business owners have expressed that they are encountering too many barriers when trying to capitalise on the international export market.
On Wednesday, which was the opening day of the 9th staging of the ‘Christmas in July’ trade show, a two-day event held at the AC Hotel Kingston, the Jamaica Observer spoke with a few of the participants who expressed that exporting has proved to be a challenging task.
“Exporting feels as though if you don’t know someone, it’s tough to get it done,” shared Carmen Hope-Thomas, CEO of Zipporah, a hair and skincare brand.
