DTI launches Hybrid event
The NFF is part of a series of national fairs conducted annually by the BDTP. In 2020, the bureau indefinitely postponed the mounting of national fairs because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the BDTP will adopt the hybrid concept of a trade fair to combine the excitement of a traditional and physical event and the advantages and flexibility of a digital or online event which allows the participation of exhibitors and visitors who could not join physically because of travel restrictions and health protocols. Participation is free of charge. For interested exhibitors contact your provincial DTI office.
Special Features for DTI Virtual and Physical Event
The Hybrid NFF aims to showcase the best of Philippine food products; provide opportunities for MSMEs, farmers, and fruit growers to sell their products and sustain their livelihood amid the COVID-induced crisis; encourage consumers and buyers to support the economy during the pandemic; and further, accelerate and promote the digital transformation of MSMEs and at the same time reduce the carbon footprint of trade events. The 2021 NFF will feature 100 MSMEs in the physical fair while 200 MSMEs will participate virtually through an e-commerce platform and/or through Facebook live and other digital live streaming platforms.
