Local Coconut Food Producers Join Expo in Malaysia

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said the Philippine Trade Investment Center in Kuala Lumpur led 17 manufacturers of coconut, coffee, and cacao products to the 8th Selangor International Expo on October 6-9 in Malaysia.  DTI said Selangor International Expo 2022 is an ‘influential’ food and beverage trade exhibition that focuses on the global food and beverage industry.  The event is hosted and completely supported by the Selangor State Government and powered by Invest Selangor Berhad.

DTI said, the activity is part of the department’s contributory initiative under the Research, Marketing, and Market Promotion component of the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan.  Under the plan, the agency’s Export Marketing Bureau is mandated to oversee the promotion of Philippine coconut exports, and formulate and execute export strategies among others, in coordination with the Foreign Trade Service Corps.
