The 2024 National Dairy Summit (NDS), dubbed as the country’s “biggest dairy event of the year,” is set to take place in Iloilo City this month.

Themed “Advancing DAIRYpreneurship, Innovation, Nutrition, Sustainability and Food Security,” NDS will be held at the Iloilo Convention Center in Mandurriao district from October 28 to 30.

Aside from showcasing the latest innovations, products, and services in the dairy industry, NDS will also serve as a platform for stakeholders to connect, collaborate, and explore new business opportunities.

The event will bring together dairy experts from national government agencies and international organizations to share “in-depth insights on the latest trends and best practices in the dairy industry.”

“We aim to provide stakeholders and investors with a comprehensive view of the dairy industry, highlighting existing gaps and opportunities for improvement. By addressing these challenges, we can significantly boost milk production, not only in Western Visayas but across the Philippines,” National Dairy Authority (NDA-Western Visayas) officer-in-charge Vicente Bitolinamisa III said.

NDS, organized by the Western Visayas Dairy Farmers and Stakeholders Agriventures Inc., (WVDFSAI), is eyeing more than 20 exhibitors and 300 participants.

The event is open to all participants in the dairy value chain, including farmers, stakeholders, local government units (LGUs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), processors, suppliers of farm inputs, equipment, packaging, traders, and dairy partner agencies.

The registration fee is P5,000 per person. The amount covers lunch, two snacks per day over two days, a summit kit, access to all sessions, and a certificate of participation.

Booth spaces are available for rent, allowing participants to showcase their products to a wide audience.
