Akuura | Spotlight on Filipino Ingenuity: Market Reach International Honored at IFEX Philippines 2025

The recently concluded International Food Exhibition (IFEX) Philippines shone a spotlight on the vibrant and ever-growing landscape of Filipino exports. From heritage delicacies to innovative food solutions, IFEX 2025 celebrated the resilience and creativity of the country’s top exporters-among them, Market Reach International (MRI), a standout participant that took home the award for Best Booth for the second time in just one year.

With close to two decades of consistent performance, MRI has established itself not just as an exporter, but as a true export enabler-helping bridge Filipino products to global markets. The company specializes in strategic sourcing, global procurement, logistics, and end-to-end supply chain management. But what truly sets MRI apart is its mission: to help Overseas Filipino Workers and global consumers experience a true taste of home.

“We don’t just move goods-we move identity, memory, and culture,” said a representative of the company. “Every box we ship carries not just food but a piece of the Filipino heart.”

MRI currently operates distribution networks that span across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, supporting multiple trading partners in more than 20 countries. Whether it’s delivering snacks to Filipino communities in the U.S. or working with regional importers to grow Filipino brands abroad, MRI is rooted in a simple but powerful vision: to make Filipino products competitive and beloved worldwide.

At the helm of the company is Jatin Lalwani, a serial entrepreneur and seasoned operator with ventures across various industries. In addition to founding Market Reach International, Jatin also leads multiple companies across the food, wellness, and sustainability sectors, where he focuses on  building strategic platforms that connect Philippine-based products to the world.

Through strong partnerships, strategic execution, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Market Reach International continues to play a key role in the global rise of Philippine products-and remains a proud ambassador of Filipino pride on the world stage.
