DTI-CITEM

Europe’s top department store chain is sending two of its export buyers to Manila FAME International.

David Leek, CEO of the 3,500-member Gifts and Homewares Australia (GHA), commits to bring about 50 buyers to the Philippines for the October 2011 Manila FAME International.

This October 2011, Asia's foremost design show Manila FAME International weaves into one grand story the dreams of the Philippines' most innovative designers, artists, and creative manufacturers into one exciting and richly-textured event.

Over US$6 million or more than 500% from last year's negotiated sales of US$1.1 million was secured by the recent Philippine participation in the ASEAN-Food & Beverage Trade Mission with Business Meetings in Japan.

The Philippines aims to carve a greater slice of the US$4 billion global market for fresh and processed tropical fruits as it participates in ANUGA 2011, the world's largest food and beverage fair, to be held on 12-18 October 2011 in Germany.

The search for one brand identity and one image for the Philippines' design-driven export industry was finally addressed in a recently concluded Branding Workshop organized by the DTI through CITEM.

The Philippine Department of Trade and Industry through the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions aims to synchronize the country’s efforts towards making the October edition of Manila FAME International a bigger show.

The Philippines joins 9 countries in this year's ASEAN-Food & Beverage Trade Mission with Business Meetings from 25 July to 5 August 2011 at the ASEAN-Japan Centre in Tokyo, Japan.

Naturalist, Mood Indigo, and Graffiti are the key global trends for the home and fashion sectors underpinning the products which will be featured in the 54th Manila FAME International, the Philippines' premier design trade event.

KM Food Products, based in General Santos City, manufactures innovative value-added tuna products without monosodium glutamate (MSG) and artificial coloring. It will be joining the 8th International Food Exhibition Philippines on 12-14 May 2011.
