FAST Logistics Highlights 3PL Capabilities, MSME Logistics Solutions for Mindanao Businesses at MSME ONE Expo 2026

FAST Logistics Group, the Philippines’ leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, showcased its integrated end-to-end logistics solutions at the MSME ONE Expo 2026 organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) – Misamis Oriental at One Ayala Mall in Makati City.

Held from Friday to Sunday, July 24 to 26, the three-day expo featured proudly Filipino-made products, food, and handcrafted goods from more than 30 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Cagayan de Oro City and Misamis Oriental.

MSME ONE Expo 2026 highlighted a wide range of homegrown Mindanao products, including coconut delicacies, banana vinegar, coffee, cacao, handcrafted wearables, and wellness products. More importantly, it provided regional entrepreneurs with a platform to introduce their products to the Metro Manila market while connecting them with resellers and potential supply chain and logistics partners that can support their business expansion.

For many of the participating Kagay-anon entrepreneurs, the expo enabled them to gauge customer demand, gather valuable market feedback, and build relationships with prospective buyers, distributors, and business partners that could lead to long-term growth opportunities.

“Programs like the MSME ONE Expo are our way of helping bridge businesses in finding new customers, distribution channels, and partnerships that will enable them to expand to larger markets,” said DTI Misamis Oriental Provincial Director Jesusa Abear.

Joining FAST at the expo were other DTI Misamis Oriental partners, including the DTI Supply Chain and Logistics Group, DTI E-Commerce, and Startup Village, all of which support MSMEs in strengthening their competitiveness and accelerating business growth.

FAST Logistics Group is a steadfast partner of DTI Misamis Oriental, formalizing its commitment through a Memorandum of Agreement to provide MSMEs in Misamis Oriental and Cagayan de Oro with stronger logistics support, end-to-end trade fair logistics, and forward stocking solutions.

Mindanao to Manila, Cebu, and Other Key Cities

For many MSMEs in Mindanao, expanding beyond their local markets presents both an opportunity and a logistical challenge. While demand for regional products continues to grow across the country, reaching customers in major commercial hubs requires a reliable logistics partner with an extensive nationwide network and proven supply chain expertise.

Within Mindanao, businesses primarily rely on land freight or trucking to transport goods efficiently across the island’s extensive road network. However, expanding beyond the region into the Visayas and Luzon requires a more integrated logistics approach. 

Depending on the shipment’s destination, product type, and delivery timeline, businesses often combine land transportation with sea freight or RoRo shipping. More urgent shipments or high-value cargo may be transported via air freight. 

Coordinating these multiple transport modes can be complex, making an experienced MSME logistics partner essential for ensuring seamless movement from origin to destination. 

MSME logistics refers to the supply chain and delivery services that help local entrepreneurs transport their products and reach customers across local and global markets. With efficient and reliable logistics solutions, MSMEs can expand their market reach and grow their businesses with confidence.
