The Negros Trade Fair–Going Strong at 37

The Negros Trade Fair is Manila’s longest running provincial trade fair. During the fair, Negros-based businesses set up shop in Metro Manila for several days. The fair began in 1985 as a way to support struggling backyard industries in Negros during the island’s sugar crisis. Over the years, the fair has evolved into a much-awaited annual event where residents of Manila can sample some of the best products Negros has to offer.

This year’s fair took place at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City from September 26 to October 1. The theme of this year was Amuma (to nurture or to care for).

Booths 38 & 40

NVC Foundation is proud to be a regular participant of this prestigious event. We set up shop at booths 38 & 40 where we showcased our Artisans of Hope creations as well as our Mingo Meals and batwan powder (a cooking ingredient made from a sour fruit). Thanks to everyone who supported us at the 37th Negros Trade Fair, we will be able to take care for the people we serve. We are happy to report that we raised enough funds for 11,275 Mingo Meals for hungry kids.

Thank you to everyone who supported us at the 2023 Negros Trade Fair!
