Department of Trade and Industry

Overall, our main role is to contribute to the country’s goal of achieving economic growth towards poverty reduction. Our mandate calls for the expansion of Philippine exports, increase in investments, and the development and promotion of the country’s micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). We must ensure that our consumers’ rights are protected and that they are entitled to value for money. All these, we pursue through 33 foreign trade service posts, 16 regional offices, 81 provincial/city/area offices, 13 bureaus, 7 attached agencies, 7 attached corporations, and 10 service offices.
