‘Rimat ti Amianan’ trade fair open till Nov. 13
AT least 46 trade exhibitors in Region 1 have joined this year’s “Rimat ti Amianan’ (Brilliance of the North) being held in Dagupan City anew.
The 10-day trade fair sponsored by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) at the Big Atrium of the CSI the City Mall in Dagupan City was opened last November 3 and will run till November 13.
Mayor Belen T. Fernandez and DTI Regional Director Florante Leal cut the ceremonial ribbon during the opening ceremony.
On display in the 10-day trade fair, are food items, woodcrafts, novelty items, potteries and wearables, all produced by manufacturers and entrepreneurs from Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte.
Natalia Dalaten, chief of the Trade and Industry Division of the Department of Trade and Industry, said since not all furniture makers were accommodated in this year’s “Rimat ti Amianan’, a separate furniture fair will be held for them by the first quarter of next year in Dagupan.
She noted exhibitors in this year’s trade fair reported brisk sales better than last year. Among those enjoying brisk sales are those selling empanada and longganiza from Vigan.
Among the exhibitors are traditional exporters, like Dorebi of San Carlos City and Aguinaldo Furniture of Dagupan.
“Rimat ti Amianan” was launched 14 years ago with La Union as its permanent venue and it was only last year that it was brought to Dagupan as exhibitors wanted to promote their products to larger population in Region 1. (Leonardo Micua)
