THE Mindanao Trade Expo Foundation Inc. (MTEFI) goes green with the conduct of the Mindanao Trade Expo International 2007, which will be held on August 14 to 16, 2007, at the Entertainment Plaza of SM City Davao.
Adopting the theme "Go Green Mindanao," the trade exposition will display a wide-range of goods which will highlight fresh and natural items and the sustainable use of raw materials to produce world-class and highly functional products.

Part of the expo includes a Davao raw Material Showcase dubbed as the "Malikhaing Paggamit ng Yamang Likas" which will exhibit the various production processes that can be applied on the coconut.
