Glorious Larvie Batimala of Guadalcanal is making her debut appearance at the National Trade Fair, joining Pilopaso Chocolate Haus to showcase locally made chocolate products and celebrate the diversity and creativity of Solomon Islands entrepreneurship.

Beaming with excitement, Batimala described the experience as unforgettable. “I’m so excited of this show. It’s my very first time experiencing this event, a great show indeed,” she said.

Pilopaso Chocolate Haus, known for its locally sourced and produced chocolates, is one of many businesses highlighting homegrown talent and products at the fair. Batimala shared her appreciation for the opportunity to be part of such a vibrant and meaningful gathering.

“It was amazing to walk through the booths, see the different products and meet the people behind them,” she said.

“It’s been so long since the last fair and this one reminded me how important it is for us to come together and share who we are as Solomon Islanders, she added.

Batimala also expressed hope that the Trade Fair will continue to grow in scale and influence, bringing greater international attention to local industries and cultural identity.

“This event doesn’t need to stop anymore. It’s a powerful way to expose our potential and show the world the true identity of the Solomon Islands,” she added.

The National Trade Fair continues to serve as a vital platform for promoting local products, celebrating cultural heritage and fostering connections among communities, businesses, and international visitors.

As the fair unfolds, it carries a renewed sense of pride and optimism for the future of local enterprise and national unity.
