The four-day Filipino Food Month Trade Fair, themed “Sarap ng Pagkaing Pilipino: Yaman ng Kasaysayan, Kultura at Pagkatao,” organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Northern Samar, culminated with a total of P723,358.00 cash and booked sales last April 6, 2025.
The Best Seller Award was presented to Daryl Jean Pili Nuts, recognizing the outstanding sales performance of this exhibitor, aside from the recognition given to all other exhibitors for their participation in the fair.
In her closing message, DTI Northern Samar Provincial Director Mimosa Regis congratulated the exhibitors for their achievements.
She also encouraged them to continue improving their productivity and reiterated to pursue processing their Food and Drug Administration (FDA) License to Operate (LTO) and Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) to expand their market reach beyond the province.
The FDA-LTO and CPR are basic requirements for food products displayed in established supermarkets and groceries, and are also necessary when exploring export markets.
The trade fair served as a significant platform for local food processors to promote their products, exchange insights, and build connections, ensuring the sustained development of Northern Samar’s food industry. (PR)
