Investments

Mindanao International Container Port

 

2002: The city generated a remarkable P16.522 billion investments in 1997. This achievement is due largely to the growing awareness of the built-in distinct advantages and potentials of the city. Of the total investments, 92% came from the infrastructure and services sector.Investments

Investments, however, decreased in 1998, 2000 and 2001 when the Philippines was affected by the Asian economic crisis. But investments picked up in 1999 because of the endorsement for the funding of the Mindanao International Container Port Project. The P4.8 billion funding comes from the Miyaza Initiative.

Pryce Gas also contributed to the increase of investments in 1999.

Exports

Del Monte Philippines

2002: Over the years, export performance in Cagayan de Oro relied largely on traditional products, the major ones of which are canned pineapple, fatty alcohol, sintered ore, crude coconut oil and dessicated coconut.

In 2001, however, milk powder emerged as a promising new export product, ranking 10th in the list, surpassing two traditional export commodities: refined glycerine and coco milk powder. But canned pineapple, fatty alcohol and sintered ore remained consistently on top.

Exports performance from 1997 to 2001 was erratic. One major cause was the decrease in prices of traditional export products, especially those which were directly or indirectly affected by the changes in prices of the international market. Another reason is the intermittent operation of two exporting metallurgical firms: Inchrome and Ferrochrome.

The major export markets for 2001 were Europe, USA, Japan and South Korea.Export markets

Philippine Sinter Corporation at PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate

 

 

 

Alwana Village

 

2003: The biggest industrial estate in the county is the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate-Misamis Oriental. It occupies 3,000 hectares, covering the municipalities of Tagoloan and Villanueva.

The first Cagayan de Oro Business Park, a project of MINERGY Systems Inc. and All Capital, also involves the development of a 200-hectare area within the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate. The implementation of the project will be undertaken in three phases.

The 80-hectare Alwana Business Park in barangay Cugman, Cagayan de Oro City, was started in 1981 as the site of wood working factories. Ten years later, the management transformed the rest of the site into an industrial and residential area within a neat zoning system. Forty hectares of it are reserved for industries, 20 for a subdivision called Alwana Village, 10 for commercial establishments and 26 for parks and recreation.

Three other business parks are being programmed to be developed in the province:

  • Laguindingan Industrial Park
  • El Salvador Special Economic Zone
  • Gingoog Special Economic Zone
