Prepare to dive deep into the heart of Filipino culinary heritage and witness the dawn of its innovative future! From April 9 to 13, 2025, the highly anticipated 2025 DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Food Fair transforms SM Megamall’s Megatrade Halls 1-3 into a vibrant crossroads of taste, tradition, and trailblazing entrepreneurship.
Presented by the Department of Trade and Industry’s Bureau
of Market Development, and OTOP (DTI-BMDPO) in collaboration with the DTI
Regional and Provincial Offices, this is not just a fair; it's an invitation.
An invitation to wander through aisles bursting with the aromas of regional specialties,
to connect with the passionate creators behind over 250 unique food ventures,
and to taste the 'Bagong Pilipinas' – a new chapter of Filipino ingenuity
served on every plate.
“This this event exemplifies DTI's commitment to making its trade
fairs progressively bigger and better – enhancing both quality and quantity.
This continuous improvement provides Filipino MSMEs with significantly
scaled-up avenues to market their products, fostering more substantial business
opportunities. Ultimately, these expanded opportunities translate directly into
crucial job creation and sustainable livelihoods for countless Filipino
entrepreneurs and their communities,” notes Assistant Secretary Nylah Rizza D.
Bautista, Supervising Head of the DTI-Competitiveness and Innovation Group
(CIG).
This year's National Food Fair is also a cornerstone
initiative proudly supported by the Tatak Pinoy Strategy
Program. More than just a marketplace, the NFF actively
embodies the Tatak Pinoy spirit by serving as a dynamic platform aligned with
the goals of the Tatak Pinoy Act. It strategically works to elevate Filipino
food MSMEs by expanding their market horizons through enhanced access,
fostering groundbreaking product innovation, and championing the integration of
sustainable business practices. Furthermore, the fair is committed to fostering
greater sustainability and technology adoption across the board – from food
production and packaging to manufacturing processes – while accelerating the
crucial digital transformation of MSMEs by equipping them with vital tools for
e-commerce, digital marketing, streamlined logistics, and seamless cashless
payment solutions.
