Get ready for five days of culinary discovery, connection, and the vibrant future of Philippine food.
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.
