Dream - The lack of visitors coming to Tanah Abang Market has caused a decline in traders' turnover. The Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono, responded to the complaints of several traders in Tanah Abang Market who have recently experienced a lack of buyers. According to him, the decrease in sales is due to changes in consumer shopping habits.

This is the appearance of Tanah Abang Market, which is currently deserted by visitors. The traders are just sitting in front of their shops and hoping for buyers to come.

Traders in Tanah Abang Market admitted to experiencing a significant decrease in revenue due to the lack of buyers. To alleviate boredom, they can only play with their mobile phones.

Traders express their complaints on social media while accusing the price war offered through live streaming on social media platforms which significantly reduces their sales.

Traders at Tanah Abang Market have also started using the same method through live shopping, but the results are not satisfying.

The bustling negotiations among visitors at Tanah Abang Market seem to disappear. Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, Teten Masduki, mentioned that the government was late in regulating ecommerce and social commerce. As a result, imported products have become rampant on digital platforms such as TikTok Shop, which actually harm local SME products.
