The recently concluded 2024 DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Food Fair generated P57.83M in preliminary cash sales, booked orders, and orders under negotiation sales for 233 participating MSMEs. The event was held last July 3-7, 2024 at the Megatrade Halls of SM Megamall.
Under the leadership of the DTI-MSME MDG, the event showcased a tantalizing array of hundreds of food products from all regions of the country, including fresh agricultural produce, processed and bottled food, healthy snacks, traditional regional delicacies, wines and beverages, and so much more.
In her inspirational talk, DTI MSME Development Group Undersecretary Maria Cristina Roque encouraged the MSMEs to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the DTI. "When opportunities like this arise, seize them with confidence. You never know- you could be the next big success story."
In addition to the bustling marketplace, the fair also featured a series of engaging activities aimed at empowering both consumers and food entrepreneurs. Renowned chefs shared their culinary expertise in live cooking demonstrations, while industry experts led informative business talks. Adding a festive touch to the daily program were musical performances and a magic show.
This year's event is significant as it marks a decade of the National Food Fair, organized by the Bureau of Market Development, Promotions, and OTOP (BMDPO) in collaboration with the DTI Regional and Provincial Offices. According to BMDPO Director Marievic Bonoan, "Over the past ten years, this fair has become a premier platform for our MSMEs in the food and beverage industry."
There are more national trade fairs for the rest of the year. Entrepreneurs who wish to participate can get in touch with: Director Marievic Bonoan at BDTP@dti.gov.ph
