30 MSMEs to Join Kasanggayahan Sorsogon GoConut Trade Fair on Sept. 17–20
Thirty micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Sorsogon are set to present their locally crafted goods at the Kasanggayahan Sorsogon GoConut Trade Fair 2026 at Level 2 Grand Atrium, Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City.
Organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Sorsogon Provincial Office, the fair gives provincial entrepreneurs direct exposure to urban consumers, institutional buyers, distributors and new commercial partners.
Exhibitors will feature a broad selection of coconut- and pili-based offerings, including virgin coconut oil, coco jam, vinegar, traditional delicacies, pastries and preserves. The event will also highlight non-food items—from abaca products, apparel and accessories to baskets, home decor, coconut-shell crafts, packaging materials and sustainable charcoal innovations.
For the participating businesses, the trade fair provides a vital venue to drive sales, gather direct consumer feedback and build key industry connections.
Nine of the 30 enterprises are making their trade fair debut, giving emerging brands a chance to test their goods in a major metropolitan market. Meanwhile, 21 returning vendors aim to broaden their customer base and introduce new or refined product lines.
The exhibitors represent Sorsogon City and 12 municipalities across the province, including Barcelona, Bulan, Bulusan, Castilla, Donsol, Gubat, Irosin, Juban, Matnog, Pilar, Prieto Diaz, and Sta. Magdalena.
Beyond generating immediate sales, the trade fair highlights how Sorsogon’s abundant natural resources—such as coconut, pili, abaca—can be transformed into high-value products that drive sustainable local economic growth.
Visitors can explore the fair and support these regional entrepreneurs throughout its four-day run at Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
