Role of agro-industrial business corridors (Part 2)
Actually, the planned Clark City agro-industrial business corridor will not be the first of its kind. Already, there is a thriving agro-industrial estate in the island of Mindanao, the ANFLO Industrial Estate (AIE) strategically located in a 63-hectare property between Davao City and Tagum City. Despite sporadic peace and order challenges, Mindanao is still the agribusiness paradise of the Philippines and is a vital part of the East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA) or BIMP (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines). AIE is well positioned and designed to fully develop the vast potential of the agribusiness sector of the Davao Region and the whole island of Mindanao by providing a ready market for the region’s agricultural produce and efficiently export them to the rest of the world as it is already doing in the cases of pineapples, bananas and coconut products. AIE is a self-sustaining ecozone (with all the tax and other incentives of economic zones) with complete facilities for manufacturing, cottage industries, warehousing and other agro-industrial operations.
