The planning session with exporters is part of the 3-city road show organized by the Export Development Council (EDC), the Bureau of Export Trade Promotion (BETP) of the Department of Trade and Industry and the RP-EU Trade-related Technical Assistance (TRTA-2).
The following growth commitments (base year 2010) by the respective sectoral organizations in Cebu are as follows:
