DTI Calabarzon

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)–Quezon Provincial Office, through Negosyo Center–Infanta, successfully conducted the seminar “Strengthening Marketability: Effective Packaging and Labeling for Infanta Products” on May 21, 2026, at Big Daddy’s Corner, 20 De Julio Street, Brgy. Poblacion 1, Infanta, Quezon.

The activity gathered twenty-nine (29) MSMEs engaged in the food processing industry, along with suppliers from the Infanta Pasalubong Center, to enhance their knowledge and skills in proper packaging and labeling, improve product presentation, and strengthen market competitiveness.

Participants gained valuable insights on FDA labeling requirements, appropriate packaging materials, and effective strategies to boost consumer trust and product marketability.

Through initiatives like this, DTI Quezon and LGU Infanta continue to support and empower local MSMEs toward improved product quality, expanded market opportunities, and sustainable business growth.
