The much-awaited 2024 DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Trade Fair (NTF) is happening 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 yearโs 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 countryโs 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,ย noveltyย items, holidayย decor, homeย furnishings, andย manyย more.
Inย addition,ย theย NTFย willย facilitateย businessย matchingย andย networkingย activitiesย betweenย MSMEs and institutional buyers, providing opportunities for collaboration and growth.
