Access to markets
Improving the visibility and connections of sustainable businesses to international markets.
What we do
Supporting MSMEs to adopt more sustainable production and processing practices to access international markets.
Why we do it
MSMEs often face difficulties finding potential for their produce, even when they are produced and processed in a sustainable way.
How we do it
We enable MSMEs to connect to markets via third-party e-commerce platforms, online and offline trade fairs and other B2B events, as well as by connecting them directly to potential buyers

ITC ensured their business continuity under its USAID funded programme, by sending their tea samples to potential buyers in Europe, China and the US. Almost a dozen of sample boxes have been sent to international buyers like Schroeder and Hamann, Halson & Leon, Teegeschwender and Basu in China, Czechia, Germany or the United States.
