Negros Trade Fair (NTF), the country’s longest running provincial trade fair organized by the Association of Negros Producers (ANP) will be returning to the Glorietta 4 Activity Center, Makati City on September 20 to 25, 2022. ANP was not spared from having to cancel the 35th trade fair in 2020 due to the pandemic. In 2021, the Negros Trade Fair went online with an e-commerce site and in 2022, it is excited to return to Manila with new opportunities and present the fair in a larger venue.
The theme for this year is “Hidlaw”, the Hiligaynon term for longing, yearning or missing something or someone. According to NTF Chairman Michael Claparols “After 2 years of staying at home, our customers have said they’ve missed the fun, festivities, and flavors of Negros. Nothing beats the experience of savoring Negrense flavors & admiring the craftsmanship first-hand. The exhibitors are excited to bring their creations, designs and products back and launch new items – a testament to the resilience of the Negrense spirit. This is also why we decided that this year’s theme would be hidlaw.” The theme speaks not only to Negrenses but also everyone who has experienced a longing to reconnect.
Negros Trade Fair is known for featuring the best products and services that the Province of Negros has to offer, highlighting the culture, lifestyle, land, history and stories behind many of its traditions. The fair is a venue for small to medium scale businesses to showcase a selection of products created with skilled craftsmanship and a taste of renowned Negrense cuisine. Over 60 sellers from various sectors such as natural and organic food, garments, fashion accessories, furniture, décor, houseware, agriculture and tourism represent the industries which provide for and sustain the people of Negros. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit Negros through the participation of several Local Government Units (LGU).
The Negros Trade Fair celebrates the dynamic partnerships formed over the years between the Association of Negros Producers (ANP) and the Provincial Government of Negros, Governor Eugenio “Bong” Lacson, Bacolod City Mayor Alfredo “Albee” Benitez, Local Government Units (LGU) and Congressional Districts, Department of Tourism, Department of Trade and Industry, private business sectors, sponsors and media partners who share the common goal to promote the province and strengthen small and medium enterprises.
