Market information in the web site is more interesting to the SME Exporter rather 

then information on government regulation. As buyer of raw materials and 

producer of finished product the exporters were also searching raw material and 

buyer through the web page. This study also indicated that there approximately 

37% of the SME exporters claimed that they had the experience in obtaining 

buyer through the Internet, however, only 18% of the SME claimed that they 

had the experience in obtaining raw material supply through the Internet (see 

figure 3.2.19). This is because most of the raw material was of local content.
