It explores the challenges these businesses face, such as regulatory complexities and high operational costs, and proposes solutions including regulatory simplification, cooperative logistics platforms, technology support, and improved financial and market access. The study emphasizes the need for a coordinated approach to foster a competitive and inclusive freight transport industry.
