All systems go for US trade expo
LINGAYEN—It’s all systems go for the province of Pangasinan’s participation in the 1st Diversity International Trade Fair at the City of Artesia in California on October 4.
This was the consensus of the members of the Pangasinan Producers Association (PPA) last week September 3 when they met to discuss the final details about their preparation including shipment of ready-for-export products from Manila to California.
Three companies, the Bandulf Industries, DOREVI Products, and VWT Enterprises, are set to transport their products this week in Manila while the BBLM Unistar, Inc. had already shipped its products last week. Other companies opt to hand carry their products.
The Skylink Company, a Manila-based international forwarding agent, will assist the producers in the packaging of their products to meet the requirements set by the Bureau of Customs.
Provincial Administrator Rafael F. Baraan expressed confidence that the PPA will have a successful business trip to US.
According to Benita Pizzaro, provincial planning and development officer, there will be meetings between the delegations of the 15 participating countries and the prospective US importers and exporters.
Eddie C. Ferrer, president of the Pangasinan-USA Brotherhood Association, Inc., said the trade expo will provide Pangasinan products the international exposure for Pangasinan products.
The participation of Pangasinan in the international trade fair was conceptualized by the PB-USA, Inc. with the sustained support of the provincial government headed by Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. and Vice Gov. Jose Ferdinand Calimlim, Jr.
Pangasinan is the only province that will represent the Philippines in the exposition organized by the City of Artesia, Artesia Chamber of Commerce and Coalition of Associations at the South East Corridors.
The expo, which is expected to attract more than 30,000 US buyers, aims to help the developing countries in Southeast Asia establish business partnerships, exchange of ideas on different products and market trends as well as to enhance product competitiveness in the global market. (PIO/mrt)
