As per record, the fair has gained wide acceptance by a dramatic increased sales every year and the influx of visitors.
So far, the ANP, as one of the oldest and largest groups of micro and small entrepreneurs in the Western Visayas has accessed worldwide markets in the United States, Europe, Japan, Africa, the Middle East, Scandinavian countries and Singapore.

The ANP humble beginning was traced back sometime in 1980's when 14 Negrense housewives and a gentleman organized themselves to form an association of Negros producers of locally made products to properly address the ill effects of sugar crisis that greatly affected the Negros economy for that period of time, and 5 years later conducted the first trade fair in Manila with the hope to economically survive the said sugar crisis.
Well for such 26 years of business trade fair, the ANP products have gained people's acceptance not only from their fellow Filipinos but from the foreigners as well.

The association is a big help for Negrense's to promote their products.They only not help the producers but only the consumers as well.
ReplyDeletegood to hear that these groups are given exposure not just in Phils but worldwide...
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that there are more associations like this that helps promote provincial products to the city. Lagi na lang panay imported brand ang focus ng groceries sa NCR. Sayang, I didn't get the chance to go to this fair.
ReplyDeleteNever tried any of the delicacies of Negros. Correct me if im wrong, is Piyaya from Negros?
ReplyDelete@Herbert... Particularly in Bacolod... Merci has the best Piyaya!
ReplyDeleteIs that Dulce de Leche in the photo? I got to try that from my sis-in-law made from cow's milk. I someday would want to visit a fair like this.
ReplyDeletesis-in-law is from Silay:)
ReplyDeleteAwww! Nakakamiss ang Bacolod! thanks for sharing sir Gil.
ReplyDeletecorrect me if i'm wrong, bacolod is not really known for tourist destination but because of their food. i'm planning to go there next year, just to see the ruins and have some food trip.
ReplyDeletebtw! what's the result of the last ANP fair?
Is this just the same with One Town, One Product? Mmm, really nice. I am planning to visit your place and taste the best inasal in the country! :)
ReplyDelete@michi the last year ANP fair was a success and this year's fair is a success too.
ReplyDeleteI'm just an hour away from Negros (I'm from Iloilo) but sadly, I only know about BongBong's and I still have to try the real Bacolod Inasal. What else would you recommend to try out in Bacolod? :)
ReplyDeletei like attending and viewing trade shows and exhibits, we had just attended a livestock expo last friday.
ReplyDeletei wish i could get there too, but your place is too far from ours :)
wow ... I wish I could attend one of those
ReplyDeletemay this organizatio continue what they have started and let's discover more food to be blogged!
ReplyDeleteI'll go for the sili and luya anytime! :)
ReplyDeleteI missed that fair. Rockwell lang pala e! Sayang! The pinakurat (is that the right term?) looks good! What are the other delicacies of Negros? :)
ReplyDeleteI am yet to try some delicacies of Negros. I love their idea of promoting NOT imported, but own-made pinoy products
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard of Negros, first thing comes to my mind are sugar mills. Didn't know that Negrenses had much to offer to the world. Worthy to share.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the Negrense delicacies. I do hope this years' trade fair would showcase lots of delicacies from Negros so that it would be recognized all-over the country.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the Rockwell Tent because it's too far from our place. This trade fair must be visited by many people who are fond of native products.
ReplyDeletei remember when family friends give us piaya from negros.. good thing supermarkets here offer them na.. :)
ReplyDeleteI knew about ANP two years ago when they had their 27th fair at rockwell and just last year I came to the event to further see what else the Negrenses can offer.
ReplyDeletei have never been to negros but i think they have a lot of things to boast to the world.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to NEgros but hopefully we can pay a visit there. I love their foods alot!
ReplyDeleteI have also never been to negros but i bet this fair would give me a lot of ideas about that place
ReplyDeleteIt's really cool that our local producers have venues like these to showcase their products. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember that I've been to Negros, yet it's good to know a lot about the best of your local products showcased in yearly trade fairs.
ReplyDeleteI love native products and it's nice to hear that it's being appreciated by foreigners as well. Hope I can visit the place someday :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I've last been to Negros! Good thing my mom and aunts regularly visit the province and bring me lots of piaya and kuakoy! :D
