The much-awaited 2024 DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Trade Fair (NTF) is set to happen from August 21 to 25, at the Megatrade Halls 1-3 of SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.
The NTF is a flagship initiative organized by
the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through the Bureau of Market
Development, Promotions, and OTOP (BMDPO). It aims to promote the efficient
marketing of local products and provide a platform for micro, small, and medium
enterprises (MSMEs) to showcase their unique and innovative products to a wider
audience. Building on the success of the 2023
Hybrid National Trade Fair, which generated Php 42.06-million in sales and
attracted over 23,000 visitors, this year's event promises to be even bigger
and better.
The 2024 NTF will highlight a
diverse range of artisanal and non-food products crafted from the country's
sustainable raw materials, such as bamboo, natural fibers, and native grass. It
will also feature unique food items, Halal products, coconut-based innovations
for medical use and personal care, novelty items, holiday decor, home
furnishings, and many more.
In addition, the NTF will
facilitate business matching and networking activities between MSMEs and
institutional buyers, providing opportunities for collaboration and growth. The
event will include the Philippine
Sustainability Pavilion, the Coconut Philippines Pavilion, the KAPEtirya
Coffee Pavilion, the RAPID Growth Project, and the Innovation and
Services Cluster for government and private sector partners.
“The DTI-Bagong Pilipinas National
Trade Fair is a testament to our commitment to supporting the growth and
development of MSMEs in the Philippines,” said DTI Acting Secretary Cristina A.
Roque. “We invite everyone to join us in celebrating the ingenuity and
creativity of our local entrepreneurs and discover the best of what the
Philippines has to offer.”
The NTF is open to the public and
admission is free. For more information, please follow the social media pages @BDTP on Facebook, @DTI_BDTP
