The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) gathers more than 200 Filipino exporters and export-ready enterprises at the DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Exporters’ Fair 2026, happening from 22 to 26 July 2026 at Megatrade Halls 1 to 3, SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

The five-day event will bring together businesses from across the country to showcase export-quality Filipino products and services, connect with buyers and industry partners, and open new opportunities in international markets.

As global trade continues to face challenges that have affected the cost and movement of Philippine exports, the DTI is stepping up its support for local businesses. Through the fair, the agency aims to help exporters expand into new markets, strengthen their competitiveness, and adapt to a changing global business environment.

“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 the 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,” Secretary Roque said.

The exhibition will feature companies from key export industries through six themed sections: Philippine Flavors for food and beverage, Philippine Threads for fashion and textiles, Philippine Living for home and lifestyle, Philippine Creativity and Innovation for technology, creative, and emerging industries, Philippine Wellness for beauty, personal care, and health products, and a dedicated section for export-ready enterprises.

Visitors can also discover specialty exhibits featuring Halal products, coconut-based products, and emerging Philippine export favorites such as ube, pili, and calamansi, highlighting the country’s diverse and globally competitive offerings.

At the ceremonial opening event of the 2026 DTI National Exporters’ Fair led by DTI Secretary Cristina Aldeguer-Roque, together with DTI Assistant Secretary Nylah Bautista, joined by valued partners and esteemed guests from the export sector and other key industries.

Carrying the theme “Navigating Uncertainties and Seizing Opportunities,” the fair goes beyond product displays. A lineup of Usapang Exports sessions, business consultations, networking activities, and product showcases will give participants practical insights and opportunities to build new business connections.

Each day will spotlight a different aspect of the export journey—from entering new markets and meeting international requirements to accessing financing, improving logistics, and celebrating Filipino export excellence. Visitors can also take part in cooking demonstrations, business pitching sessions, consultations with export enablers, and networking activities designed to help businesses grow.

The DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Exporters’ Fair 2026 is organized by the DTI with the support of the Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT), the DTI Halal Industry Development Program, and the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan.
