DTI National Exporters’ Fair 2026 Showcases Over 300 Filipino Businesses and Export Products

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is showcasing more than 300 Filipino businesses and their products at the Philippine Exporters’ Trade Exposition & Forum 2026, highlighting the growing competitiveness of Philippine products in international markets.

The event, also referred to as the DTI National Exporters’ Fair 2026, brings together Filipino exporters, prospective international buyers, business partners, and export support providers to create opportunities for commercial partnerships and expand the global reach of Philippine products.

Philippine Exports Continue to Grow

The DTI exposition comes as the Philippines records strong growth in merchandise exports.

Preliminary data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed that Philippine merchandise exports reached US$9.87 billion in September 2026, representing a 35.6% increase from US$7.28 billion recorded in September 2025.

According to the data cited by the DTI, September 2026 also marked the highest monthly export value recorded since the PSA began tracking international trade in 1991.

From January to September 2026, Philippine exports reached US$73.95 billion, increasing by 17.2% compared with US$63.08 billion during the same period in 2025.

DTI Connects Filipino Exporters With Global Markets

The DTI is using the exposition to connect Philippine enterprises with international buyers through export promotion initiatives, business-matching activities, outbound trade missions, and the global network of Philippine Trade and Investment Centers (PTICs).

DTI Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina A. Roque said the country’s export performance demonstrates the potential of Philippine industries to compete in global markets. The agency aims to help more Filipino enterprises enter new markets, expand their international reach, and generate opportunities that can contribute to production, employment, and income for communities.

Export Enablers Clinic Supports Businesses

One of the key features of the exposition is the Export Enablers Clinic, where existing and aspiring exporters can consult government agencies, certification bodies, and private-sector institutions.

The clinic provides guidance on areas such as regulatory requirements, product standards, financing, logistics, and market intelligence, giving businesses access to information and support needed to strengthen their export capabilities.

Filipino Export Products Take the Spotlight

The exposition features a wide range of Philippine export sectors, including food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, garments, textiles, footwear, gifts, décor and housewares, fashion accessories, jewelry, and bags.

Products are prominently featured through the Coconut Philippines and Halal Philippines pavilions, alongside emerging Philippine export products such as ube, calamansi, mangoes, and bamboo.

These showcases highlight the diversity of Philippine products and the opportunities for Filipino businesses to reach international consumers and buyers.
