The Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia (Dubes RI) to the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2019-2025, Usra Hendra Harahap encouraged MSME and SMI actors of Mojokerto City to export to countries in Africa. In addition, by establishing 'Mojokerto House' to showcase Mojokerto City products. On that occasion, Usra Hendra Harahap came with Nigerian export buyers to visit three locations in Mojokerto City. Namely the Shoe Wholesale Center (PGS) in Kranggan District, the Small and Medium Industry Center (SMI) for Footwear in Prajurit Kulon District and the Batik Maja Bharama Wastra SMI Center in Magersari District. The group directly reviewed the MSME and SMI products of Mojokerto City in the three locations. At the Batik Maja Bharama Wastra SMI Center, Usra Hendra Harahap had a dialogue and provided motivation to MSMEs and IKMs in Mojokerto City to export to countries in Africa.

According to him, people in Africa are aware that many of Indonesia's superior products beat products from other countries so that this is an opportunity for Indonesia. Namely how to market original Indonesian products to Africa. He considered MSME and SMI products that are most likely to enter countries in Africa. According to him, products that can enter countries in Africa such as shoes, clothes and food. "Clothing and food, that's what really dominates there. I also see creativity in food products here, there are chips made from chicken feet, from fruit and so on. That's very interesting there. We want what's here to be exhibited there. Of course through a place, which we call 'Mojokerto House', he said. Mojokerto City must be able to see the potential of MSME and SMI products to enter countries in Africa. According to him, MSME and SMI actors in Mojokerto City must dare to seize this opportunity so as not to be left behind by other countries, namely with the existence of 'Mojokerto House.'
