The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), in partnership with the Department of Agriculture – Philippine Coconut Authority (DA-PCA) and with the strong support of the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan (CFIDP), proudly announces the upcoming Third DTI-Bagong Pilipinas COCONUTPhilippines Trade Fair (CTF).
Set to run from August 26 to 30, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center Manila, Pasay City, this highly anticipated five-day event invites the public, industry stakeholders, and global buyers to experience the limitless potential of the country’s premier agricultural asset. Admission is FREE for all visitors.
Under the banner theme, “MORE THAN JUST A COCONUT. SO MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER,” the trade fair moves beyond traditional perceptions of the crop. It highlights the remarkable versatility, cutting-edge functionality, and relentless innovation driving the modern Philippine coconut industry.
Attendees will explore a diverse showcase of proudly Philippine-made products that span multiple lifestyle and commercial sectors, including:
-
Food and Beverages: Innovative culinary delights, health drinks, and gourmet ingredients.
-
Wellness and Beauty: Nourishing skincare, organic cosmetics, and therapeutic personal care essentials.
-
Home and Lifestyle: Eco-friendly furnishings, sustainable decor, and functional daily goods.
The CTF serves as a dynamic platform to demonstrate how visionary Philippine enterprises are transforming the coconut into purpose-driven products. By elevating everyday needs into high-value market offerings, local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are creating sustainable economic growth, generating rural employment, and maximizing the benefits of the coconut value chain.
“Here, it’s not just about what coconut is—it’s about what coconut can do,” organizers emphasize, noting the vital role of the CFIDP in empowering coconut farmers and strengthening the industry’s global competitiveness.
