Local producers and manufacturers engaged
in food processing, decorative crafts and ornamental plants sectors are now all
set to showcase their products and other commodities during the Capiztahan
Trade Fair 2016.
DTI – Capiz Provincial Director Ermelinda P.
Pollentes said that there will be 46 exhibitors expected to join in the four-day
marketing event which opens on April 14, 9:30 a.m. at the Capiz Provincial Park
grounds along Fuentes Drive in Roxas City, Capiz.
Pollentes said that the establishment of
the Capiz Toll Packaging Center has been very helpful in the effort of the DTI
to improve and upscale local products in the Province of Capiz, especially
those involved in the processed food sector.
The Center, a Shared Service Facility of
DTI, is a legacy project of Gov. Victor A. Tanco, Sr.
Pollentes added that with the hiring of a
food technology expert who trained local entrepreneurs here, food products from
the Province of Capiz have greatly improved in terms of quality, safety and
appearance.
Hiroshi Nokajima, a Japanese Overseas
Cooperation Volunteer worker has been assisting food MSMEs for over a year now to
comply with their License to Operate requirements with the Food and Drug Administration.
Pollentes urged the consuming public to
support the local products as these translate to more jobs and economic
development in the Province of Capiz.
DTI VI OIC-Regional Director Rebecca M.
Rascon said that the activity is a venue to expand the market of local products
in the province, likewise, encourage manufacturers and producers to further
improve their merchandises.
