The 26th Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair is set to take place from October 16-20, 2024, at the Mega Trade Hall 2, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.

With the theme “Tatak Pinoy! Innovative and Sustainable Products,” the fair emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices and innovation in today’s ever-evolving market.

 



A Legacy of Excellence

The Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair, now in its 26th year, stands as one of the longest-running and most prestigious trade events in the Philippines. Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry Region 3 (DTI-R3) in partnership with Philexport-R3, the event enjoys full support from the Regional Development Council (RDC-3) and the Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation Inc.

The trade fair serves as the culmination of various industry and trade-related programs aimed at developing the technical and entrepreneurial capabilities of local businesses. Through these programs, MSMEs are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to produce top-quality products that can compete in both domestic and international markets. Notably, the fair offers an opportunity for local entrepreneurs to showcase their innovations and creations to a wider audience, including institutional buyers and exporters based in Metro Manila.

These exhibitors will present a wide array of products that reflect the cultural heritage, creativity, and resourcefulness of the region. Attendees can expect a diverse selection of items, including:

  •  Processed Food
  • Furniture and Home Furnishings
  • Wearables (Fashion accessories, bags, Filipiniana attire, footwear, jewelry)
  • Gifts, Holiday Decors, and Novelty Items

  • Woodcraft and Handicrafts
  • Organic and Cosmetic Products

With this incredible variety, the Likha Trade Fair promises to be a feast for the senses and an excellent opportunity for buyers to discover new and exciting products.

 

A Special Feature: Innovating for the Future

This year’s trade fair will also highlight a special showcase featuring newly developed and creative products under the Shared Service Facility (SSF) and OTOP (One Town, One Product) Next Gen Program of the DTI. This exhibit will emphasize innovative packaging and label designs, demonstrating how Central Luzon MSMEs are continually evolving to meet modern consumer demands.

 

These initiatives aim to empower local businesses by providing access to cutting-edge technology and services that enhance their production capabilities and help them become more competitive in both local and global markets.

 

A Collective Effort

The success of the Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair would not be possible without the support of various partners. Along with the DTI-R3 and Philexport-R3, the event is backed by the Regional Development Council, the Central Luzon Growth Corridor Foundation Inc., the Philippine Information Agency, local government units of the seven provinces, Small and Medium Enterprise Development (SMED) Councils, and DTI’s attached bureaus and agencies.

Transforming Lives: The Impact of SM Group's KSK Program on Filipino Farmers

  Farming futures Jayson and Juanito proudly showcase a selection of produce at the SM City Clark’s Weekend Market. While modern agricultural techniques boost yields for some, there remains a number of Filipino farmers who struggle to keep pace. These experienced hands find themselves falling behind in a market demanding higher production, clinging to familiar yet often inefficient methods passed down through generations. One farmer from Pampanga, Jayson Garcia, sought to disrupt this prevailing narrative in his family. He knew that he had to chart a new course forward for his farm and innovate to remain competitive within the rapidly evolving landscape of modern agriculture. “Noon, mahirap ang magtanim,” he recalled their life before joining SM Foundation’s Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan. “Para bang tsambahan, basta pag itinanim mo ‘yan, hintayin mo na lang mamunga.
