Bicol Region’s Trade & Travel Fair 2017 Features OTOP and HALAL Products

Now on its 21^st year, OKB-Gayon Bicol has gone beyond an annual marketing event for Bicol Region’s fine products and tourism potentials. It has become a central platform to showcase the region’s heritage, to demonstrate Bicolano resilience and to uphold our pride. Once again, we bring to fore Bicol’s socio-economic potentials, trade/industry and tourism opportunities for valued partners, stakeholders, concerned individuals, institutions and the general public.

OKB-Gayon Bicol, through the years, has provided opportunities for our homegrown entrepreneurs to develop, find new markets and become more competitive. Organized by the OK Bikol Association, Inc. in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Region 5 and the Department of Tourism (DOT)-Region 5, this annual marketing and cultural event is the longest running DTI-organized regional trade fair in the Philippines. The OKB-Gayon Bicol features Bicol’s best products made from finest handcrafted materials plus our prime food delicacies. It will bring the Bicolano entrepreneurs’ distinctive skills in weaving, innovating, and producing new products and designs to the world.

OKB-Gayon Bicol 2017 event offers wearables and homestyle products, processed foods, ceramics, furniture/ furnishing, fine jewelry, and other products that will surely delight buyers.

Joining this year’s fair are 141 MSME exhibitors from all over the region. Twenty-six (40) from Albay, 15 from Camarines Norte, 22 from Camarines Sur, 25 from Catanduanes, 11 from Masbate and 28 from Sorsogon. It will feature 32 new entrepreneurs, who will now be given full marketing assistance by the DTI via this trade fair. It will also feature 255 new products resulting from DTI-Region 5’s product development activities prior to the event.

As in the past, this marketing event is a convergence activity of OKB Association, Inc. in partnership with DTI-Region 5, DOT-Region 5, Air 21 and Bicol Harvest/Bicol Artist.

By way of this annual event, DTI enjoins domestic and foreign buyers to take a closer look and become more aware of what these 141 entrepreneurs produce. The organizers endeavour to provide MSMEs better avenues to promote their fine products, and encourage them to explore the global market.
