The Department of Trade and Industry’s Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB) together with the Swiss Import Promotion Program (Sippo) are conducting market studies of three Filipino sectors to determine their selling and growth potential in the European market. The results will help Filipino producers of processed food, natural ingredients and natural fiber and textiles to export and maximize the free trade agreement between the Philippines and EFTA.
