The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) gathered more than 200 exporters and export-ready enterprises at the DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Exporters’ Fair 2026, held from July 22 to 26 at Megatrade Halls 1 to 3 of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.
Led by DTI Secretary Cristina A. Roque, the five-day event highlighted proudly Filipino products and services while providing businesses with opportunities to showcase their capabilities, connect with industry stakeholders, and explore new export markets.
The fair comes at a time when global trade disruptions continue to affect the movement and cost of Philippine exports. Through the event, the DTI aims to help exporters diversify their markets, improve competitiveness, and build more resilient businesses.
“Our exporters continue to demonstrate their ability to adapt and compete despite global trade disruptions. Through the National Exporters’ Fair, we want to give greater visibility to the quality products and services that are proudly made in the Philippines and sold in different parts of the world. We also want the event to be a platform to connect Filipino enterprises with the partners that exporters need to grow,” Roque said.
Exhibitors represented a wide range of export industries organized under six categories: Philippine Flavors (food and beverage), Philippine Threads (fashion and textiles), Philippine Living (home and lifestyle), Philippine Creativity and Innovation (technology, creative, and emerging industries), Philippine Wellness (beauty, personal care, and health), and Philippine Export-Ready Companies.
The exhibition also featured dedicated sections for Halal-certified products, coconut-based products, and emerging Philippine export stars such as ube, pili, and calamansi, highlighting their growing potential in international markets.
Carrying the theme “Navigating Uncertainties and Seizing Opportunities,” the fair offered a series of Usapang Exports sessions, consultations, networking activities, and product showcases designed to help exporters strengthen their businesses.
Throughout the event, participants attended discussions on expanding into new markets, meeting global standards, financing export growth, and promoting Filipino export excellence. Business matching, consultations with export enablers, cooking demonstrations, product showcases, and pitching sessions also formed part of the program.
The DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Exporters’ Fair 2026 was organized by the DTI in partnership with the Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT), the DTI Halal Industry Development Program, and the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan.
