- Abstract
The ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) agreement aims to export and import goods with tariffs reduced to 0%. Meanwhile, exports and imports can only be carried out by prominent entrepreneurs. Traders of locally made children’s toys classified as micro, small, and medium enterprises have only been affected by the influx of toys from China due to the ACFTA. Government constraints in protecting micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs in the trade of domestically made children’s toys against the impact of the ACFTA agreement need special attention. This is due to the government’s unpreparedness in responding to ACFTA, including unpreparedness in infrastructure development in the form of markets for MSMEs and fostering procedures for exporting and importing goods for MSMEs. Obstacles also arise from entrepreneurs who need to be more open to the free market world. There needs to be a unified organization among locally made children’s toy traders to build joint ventures with prominent entrepreneurs and become producers ready to compete with local Chinese products.
