The Role of Knitting Craftsmen SMEs in Realizing Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

The results of the study show that until now research on the relationship between MSMEs and SDGS is still limited to the MSME sector in the field of Knitting Craftsmen. On the other hand, the city of Yogyakarta as one of the cities famous for its crafts requires deeper study and involvement in the development of the Creative Industry sector in the form of knitting crafts. This takes into account how current trends related to knitting materials are starting to attract the attention of consumers in the generation Z era and have export sector opportunities to be marketed internationally. However, apart from the quality of materials, design, and packaging that must be given more attention, there are Capital and Conventional Financial Systems, Inconsistent Training and Minimal Mentoring, and Local Economic and Cultural Potential which also require special attention.
