DTI DAVAO DEL SUR 2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND MILESTONES


MESSAGE FROM THE PROVINCIAL DIRECTOR

Greetings of peace! The year 2020 was, indeed, a very challenging year for everyone because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has not only affected people's health but it has also impacted our economy and livelihood. But as they say, crisis breeds opportunities. It has given us a time to reflect and rethink our purpose. It has given a sharper focus on what really matters and what is essential. For DTI Davao del Sur, we were made to come up of strategies on how to continue delivering services to our clients amidst all the constraints. We thank all our partners and clients who have supported us in all our programs, activities and projects. Our 2020 Accomplishments and Milestones are testaments that we can overcome any challenge if we work together. May 2021 be a better year for all of us. Let us continue to work together in boosting our country's economic recovery and move towards a "better normal." Together, let us heal as one.

Delia Ayano Provincial Director

The 3 provincial virtual trade fairs organized by DTI Davao del Sur were as follows: DTI Davao del Sur E-Trade Fair (September 2021), Arts and Crafts Fair (October 2021) and Virtual Holiday Bazaar (December 2021).

The new trademarks were also registered in the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) under the Juana Make a Mark Program.


LOCAL EXPORT & INVESTMENT PROMOTION ACTIVITIES

Under the RAPID Growth Project, DTI Davao del Sur has entered into eighteen (18) Commercial Partnership Agreements (CPAs), a Tripartite Cooperation Agreement intended to enhance productivity and improve the quality of production of MSMEs/small-scale farmers and ensuring a sustainable market for their production through backward linkages of MSMEs supported by an industryguided technology transfer arrangement.

DTI Davao del Sur, as the third party, will provide support to both anchor firm and farmer organizations. Following the CPA Signing is the crafting of a detailed investment plan and identification of specific interventions.


LOCAL EXPORT & INVESTMENT PROMOTION ACTIVITIES Under the Industry Cluster Enhancement (ICE) Program and the RAPID Growth Project, DTI Davao del Sur conducted the Investment and Entrepreneurial Forum for Coffee last October 22, 2020. The forum gathered all coffee industry players and stakeholders in the province and presented various opportunities for the industry. It also gave recognition to various groups and individuals, who are staunch partners in supporting the coffee industry in the province.

The event, which was primarily held in Crisbel Crown Center in Digos City, also had satellite venues in Sta. Cruz and Bansalan. It was also streamed live in Facebook and via Zoom. Furthermore, the activity became a venue for the Provincial SME Development (PMSMED) Council, through Resolution No. 20-02, to endorse Davao del Sur as the Coffee Capital of Region 11. In his Message of Support, Governor Cagas said that the Provincial Government of Davao del Sur commits to support the coffee industry.
