Held from July 14 to 19 at the Island City Mall, the annual trade fair featured 162 exhibitors from 12 regions across the country, showcasing furniture, processed food, health and wellness products, wearables, and home décor.
The sales performance exceeded last year’s P23.25 million total, reflecting the continued growth of the event, which has become one of the country’s longest-running provincial trade fairs.
Furniture posted the highest sales at P16.69 million, followed by wearables and homestyles with P10.37 million, processed food with P9.14 million, and health and wellness products with P440,545.
