Consumer crafts present at the ninth traditional virtual fair at MiCultura

With the participation of about 100 artisan representing all the provinces and comarcas, the Ministry of Culture, through its National Board of Handicrafts, will conduct its 9th and 20th of December with the presence of consumer handicrafts.

At the virtual exhibition, visitors will be able to appreciate and buy a variety of products such as biscuits, pottery, folkloric accessories, dressings, crafts typical of our ethnicity, paintings, sculptures and a varied sample of consumer crafts, including the socorro, rice with chicken, ceviche, tamales, pits, milk and cicatitas, among other sauces of the Panamanian Creole cuisine.

"Through the MiCultura's website, you will be able to get into the artisan's virtual fair to meet with the artisan to interacted directly with interested buyers, with whom they agree about how to pay and how to give them the product, giving more personalized care to the artisan and offering an opportunity to the interested entrepreneur to show the consumer the gallery of the products they offer," said Jaime Luna, National Director of Handicrafts at MiCultura.

Luna emphasized that with this type of activity we have supported and provided an alternative to Panamanian artisans who used to be present at mass events but that because of the health situation we all know their family economy has been affected and we have been convinced as a government entity to offer this window to generate income and make them known.

At the virtual fairs that MiCultura has been organizing, exhibitors have been given an opportunity to offer their virtual platforms for customers abroad, enabling them to get to know their products outside the country through this commercial relationship.
