Undoubtedly, Western Mindanao's strategic location and economic importance in the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippine East Asia Growth Area BIMP_EAGA polygon makes it today one of the promising investment destination of the archipelago. Teeming with vast agro-fishery and forest resources, many still untapped and underdeveloped, investors will find the region a lucrative investment area.
 

Home to a number of modern facilities coupled with state of the art communication services, its infrastructure and banking systems make investments in the region pleasurable and easy. Challenges of modernization and globalization are adequately addressed by providing infrastructure facilities at the local Zamboanga Free Port Authority, Regional Industrial Center and Sangali Fishing port Complex, to name only a few.

Bustling with export quality tuna processing canneries, canned and bottled sardines, Zamboanga Peninsula also takes pride of rich fishery resources which, for the last many years, contributed to the country's export earnings. To date, the region is fast earning the monicker as the country's sardines capital. Agriculture and forestry also hold promising export potentials, targeting Australia and the United States as expansion markets specifically for our mango which is a winner in the world market.
