Association of Negros Producers

What Association of Negros Producers does

The Association of Negros Producers (ANP) is a non-stock, non-profit association incorporated in the Philippines in 1988, emerging from the 1980s sugar industry collapse that displaced 150,000+ workers on Negros Island. Founded by fifteen Negrense women (initially as the House of Negros Foundation), ANP operates a multi-channel ecosystem supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across 7 sectors: Gifts and Houseware, Furniture and Furnishings, Food, Natural and Organic, Fashion and Garments, Tourism, and Agriculture. Its core offerings include The Negros Showroom (two physical retail outlets in Bacolod City, awarded by DTI as Outstanding Trade House), the Negros Trade Fair (the country's longest-running provincial trade fair, held annually in Metro Manila since 1985), an e-commerce platform at anp-philippines.com/shop with order processing and payment capabilities, and the upcoming ANP MSME HUB at Negros Forest Park. The organization generates revenue through marketplace commissions on online sales, transaction fees from physical showroom and trade fair activity, and membership dues across three tiers (Member A, B, C), supplemented by grant funding from international development partners.

ANP's programmatic portfolio extends beyond retail distribution into capacity-building and certification: the OURFood Program (since 2013 with Germany's AFOS Foundation) has trained 200+ smallholder farmers in Good Agricultural Practices; the WeTrace Philippines program (formalized 2018 with the Provincial Government of Negros Occidental and DOST) enables agricultural traceability backed by Germany's BMZ and justiceF foundation; the Water Management Philippines Innovate (WPI) project delivers vocational training for Bacolod City water sector workers in partnership with Fraunhofer IMW and Sachsen Wasser GmbH; and the annual Bulawan Awards recognize product design excellence across member categories. With 16 employees, ANP serves a member base spanning 13+ accredited cities and municipalities in Negros, positioning itself as both a market access platform and a development-focused institution embedded in Philippine MSME support infrastructure.

• Gawad Kalinga Social Enterprise: Philippine community development foundation operating social enterprise ventures to alleviate poverty. Comparable as a Philippine organization addressing similar community uplift goals through enterprise, though GK operates broader community development programs beyond MSME trade.
