Products vary from a wide range of apparels and accessories to a number of packaged local food products.

While production of fabric goods are outsourced to skilled unemployed women, the department also encourages cultivation of select crops from women groups which are later processed and marketed under the Myki brand.

“As a pilot programme, the department is also in the process of entering into an MoU with a group of toymakers called Mother’s Craft to enable marketing of their goods through the Myki platform,” the release stated.
