THE Department of Trade and Industry in Davao Region (DTI-Davao) has launched a virtual trade fair for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the region in time for the MSMEs Week celebration.

The E-Trade Fair will run from July 21 to July 27 where photos of the products of the participating local MSMEs along with the ways to order, payment methods, and other contact details are posted in the official Facebook page of DTI Davao City Field Office.

"Dapat meron din silang web page para madaling ipost ang kanilang mga produkto, ano yung capacity nila na mag deliver at magkano naman yung presyo (They should also have a page where they can post their products, their delivery methods, and the price)," DTI-Davao Director Ma. Belenda Q. Ambi said in a press briefing.

She also urged those MSMEs who registered to join the online trade fair to provide complete information.

"Para at least matulungan ang buyers natin na pumili sa mga produkto na ididisplay natin sa online trade fair (This will help the buyers choose products that we will display online)," she said.

As of Wednesday, July 22, 28 brands have already been displayed ranging from cacao-based products and chocolates, processed meat, homemade condiments, bags, accessories and apparel, among others.

Ambi said about 70 MSMEs have registered for the online trade fair.

Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (DCCCII) president John Carlo B. Tria also urged the public to participate in the online trade fair and buy locally-made products.

"MSME week will help boost trade opportunities for our micro, small and medium enterprises that comprise the majority of businesses in the city, let us all support them to strengthen the local economy. We would like to invite the public to attend and patronize local products," Tria said.

The online trade fair is in partnership with the DCCCII, MSME Development Council, the City Government of Davao, and other government agencies.
