Davao Oriental aims to boost MSME goods production
MICRO, SMALL and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Davao Oriental have their products on show at the 26th Sikat Pinoy Inalima 2018 Trade Fair and Exhibit organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provincial office. The provincial government, in a statement, said each of the 10 municipalities and one city, along with the Department of Science and Technology, have a booth featuring fresh and processed food, wearables, furniture, organic agriculture products, and ornamental plants, among others. “Inalima is an expression of what Davao Oriental is in terms of enterprise. Displays are many of the examples (of how) robust… progressed the different industries,” said Gov. Nelson L. Dayanghirang in his message during the event opening. At the same time, Mr. Dayanghirang stressed that “overlooking abundance, there is still a need to look into the different gaps, different concerns of micro enterprises so that they can be strengthened and the production could grow.” “And when they produce more, they provide more income to people. That would lead to addressing poverty,” he added. The trade fair is on until June 30 at the Honey’s Hotel in Mati City. — Mindanao Bureau
