Time to compete globally


THE time has come for us to stop bickering about trivial matters where we do not have locus of control, and channel our thoughts and energy to those issues where we have direct or indirect locus of control.

We are facing many challenges in making our products to have global appeal, as less than 25% of SMEs are exporting, with less than 10% having R&D facilities, and e-commerce estimated to account for 12% of trade in goods, up from 3% in 2005.
