DTI has once again proven that Philippine-made products are truly world-class and can compete in the global market after the successful run at the Philippine Exporters' Trade Exposition & Forum 2026 at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. The event highlighted over 300 MSMEs which connected them to prospective buyers, export support providers, and partners.
The exposition comes amid the country’s strong export performance. Preliminary Philippine Statistics Authority data showed merchandise exports reached USD 9.87 billion in September 2026, up 35.6% from USD 7.28 billion a year earlier. This marked the highest monthly export value recorded since the PSA began tracking international trade in 1991.
From January to September 2026, total exports climbed 17.2% to USD 73.95
billion, up from USD 63.08 billion during the same period in 2025.
“Our record export performance shows what Philippine industries can
deliver. Under the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., this
administration is fully committed to building on these gains by helping more
Filipino enterprises enter new markets, expand their global reach, and advance
their growth. Every new order can fuel production, provide jobs, and bring
income to more Filipino communities,” said Trade and Industry Secretary
Cristina A. Roque.
To translate this historic momentum into tangible commercial success, the
DTI is actively connecting enterprises with international buyers through
targeted export promotion, business-matching activities, outbound trade
missions, and the global network of Philippine Trade and Investment Centers
(PTICs).
The exposition features an Export Enablers Clinic where existing and
aspiring exporters can consult government agencies, certification bodies and
private sector institutions on regulatory requirements, product standards,
financing, logistics and market intelligence.
The exposition also showcases key export sectors, including food and
beverage, personal care and cosmetics, garments, textiles, and footwears,
gifts, decors, and housewares, fashion accessories and jewelries, and bags.
Most products are highlighted under the Coconut Philippines and Halal
Philippines pavilions—alongside emerging export favorites such as ube,
calamansi, mangoes, and bamboo.
The Philippine Exporters’ Trade Exposition & Forum 2026 is open to the
public until November 8, at the 2nd Floor, Function Rooms 3–5, SMX Convention
Center Manila, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. Admission is free, and no
registration is required for entry.
