The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)–Nueva Vizcaya supported the START TO SPARK 3: From Validation to Market initiative of the Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU)–Bambang Campus, held at the NVSU Training Center, Bambang Campus, on September 21, 2026.

The activity focused on branding, product packaging, labeling, and market compliance and was attended by 67 students from the Bachelor of Science in Biology and Bachelor of Science in Cooperative Development programs of NVSU.

The training aimed to provide the students with practical knowledge in preparing their innovative food products for market introduction, particularly in developing their product identity, appropriate packaging and labels, and ensuring market readiness.

Negosyo Center Trade and Industry Development Analyst Ms. Kristine Dian Calimag served as a resource speaker and discussed branding, packaging, labeling, and market readiness, highlighting key considerations in developing product identities, selecting appropriate packaging, preparing product labels, and ensuring market readiness.

Meanwhile, Mr. Dominic Salvador, Trade and Industry Development Specialist (TIDS) of the Consumer Protection Division of DTI-Nueva Vizcaya, discussed relevant Fair Trade Laws, strengthening the students’ awareness of consumer protection and market compliance requirements.

Through the START TO SPARK 3 initiative of NVSU–Bambang, students were provided with practical learning opportunities to help bridge their innovative food product ideas from validation toward market introduction. The participation of DTI-Nueva Vizcaya further strengthened the activity by providing students with practical perspectives on branding, packaging, labeling, and compliance as they prepare their products for the market.

This International Coffee Day, DTI R2 Nueva Vizcaya joins coffee lovers, farmers, processors, and entrepreneurs in celebrating one of the world’s most beloved beverages—and the Novo Vizcayano hands behind every locally grown bean.

Here in Nueva Vizcaya, coffee is more than just a morning brew. It is a crop, a livelihood, a local enterprise, and a product with the potential to carry the story of our communities beyond the province.

The Philippines grows four major coffee varieties: Arabica, Robusta, Excelsa, and Liberica, and the Cagayan Valley is among the country’s coffee-producing regions.

Nueva Vizcaya is also home to coffee farmers and processors working to add value to the humble coffee cherry, from cultivation and processing to roasting, packaging, and creating innovative coffee products.

From the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans to creative blends and locally crafted coffee drinks, Novo Vizcayano coffee continues to find new ways to make its mark.

So today, take a sip, and remember the people behind it.

Let’s keep brewing local.
Let’s keep supporting our coffee farmers and MSMEs.
Let’s make every cup count for Nueva Vizcaya.
