DTI National Trade Fair 2026

<p>The <strong>Department of Trade
and Industry</strong>&rsquo;s Bureau of Market Development and Promotions (DTIBMDPO) has opened the 2026 national trade fair calendar with the <strong>DTI-Bagong Pilipinas
National Trade Fair</strong>, happening from <strong>February 18 to 22, 2026</strong> at the Megatrade Halls 1&ndash;3 of <strong>SM Megamall&nbsp;</strong>in Mandaluyong
City.</p><p>Celebrating Filipino creativity, enterprise,
and innovation, the event brings together the country&rsquo;s best
MSMEs under one dynamic marketplace, giving these entrepreneurs a platform to expand their reach and ultimately promote high-quality locally made products. Admission to the
fair is free and open to the public.</p><p>In 2025, DTI-BMDPO, in partnership with industry stakeholders, successfully delivered ten DTI-Bagong Pilipinas national trade fairs, generating a combined Php 665.13 million in
cash sales, confirmed orders, and ongoing negotiations and directly benefiting 1,774 MSMEs
nationwide.</p><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771473774105Last year's DTI National Trade Fair 2025 at SM Megamall’s Megatrade Halls.

high-value Filipino products for buyers, entrepreneurs, and conscious consumers. In
collaboration with the DTI Regional and Provincial Offices, the trade fair brings together
300 exhibitors who are ready to supply a wide range of product requirements of retailers,
distributors, resellers, exporters, and general consumers.</p><p>A major highlight of the fair is the upgraded Philippine Sustainability Pavilion, featuring
furniture, textiles, fashion, and handicrafts made from coconut-based materials, engineered
bamboo, natural fibers, plant-based dyes, and native grasses sourced from regions across the
country. Innovative uses of recyclable and reusable materials will also be showcased, transformed
into functional pieces for homes, offices, and commercial spaces.</p><p>Beyond the exhibition floor, visitors and aspiring entrepreneurs can take part in learning sessions
on business development, logistics management, and environmental sustainability. Visitors can
also enjoy the daily live activities such as craft workshops, product demonstrations, and cultural
performances. These activities aim to deepen appreciation for Filipino creativity while
highlighting the techniques, materials, and traditions behind locally made products.</p><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771474687395DTI NTF 2026 Poster.jpg" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"></div><div><br></div><div><strong></strong></div><p>The ongoing trade fair is just the beginning of exciting things lined up for this year. DTI-BMDPO&rsquo;s trade fairs function as more than retail platforms. They serve as engines of MSME development, enabling enterprises to test products, refine branding, adjust pricing strategies, and respond to consumer demand in real time. Large-scale national fairs deliver broad visibility and high foot traffic. For many participants, repeated exposure across multiple fairs has translated into stronger sales performance and improved readiness for both domestic and export markets.</p><p>DTI-BMDPO Supervising Head Asec. Nylah Rizza Bautista noted that the 2026 trade fair calendar
strengthens both retail and B2B market linkages. &ldquo;With thirteen trade shows planned for 2026,
we are strengthening the trade fair program as a system&mdash;one that combines consumer-facing
platforms with buyer sourcing and networking opportunities. This approach enables MSMEs to
move beyond single-event participation toward sustained market integration,&rdquo; she said.</p><div><strong><em>To know more about the upcoming 2026 DTI-Bagong Pilipinas trade fairs, follow their social
