Published March 12, 2003

KARACHI, March 11: The Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (Unisame) has received complaints from its medium size spice manufacturers and exporters that their association is not active in resolving their problems.

In a representation made before the Unisame some of the leading exporters have complained that despite a lot of potential in exports their representative body is not looking into issues confronting small and medium size exporters.
