Income NetWHY START THIS INDUSTRY MODEL IN BICOL?
AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS 73% OF THE CULTIVATED AREAS ARE COCONUT FARMS
PROXIMITY TO MANILA
Fiber Production in Laguna and Quezon are Primarily geared for the local furniture industry. Bicol is the nearest resource to tap for export.
AVAILABILITY OF SKILLS
Bicol has a very long history of fiber rope making and weaving due to the very long history in abaca handicraft manufacturing.
The decline of the abaca industry severely affected about 500,000 families in the region.
AVAILABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE AND TECHNOLOGIESGeo-textile Manufacturing and Bio-Engineering was pioneered in the Philippines by Researchers and Engineers originally based in Bicol University.
This pool of professionals have gone a long way in introducing bio-engineering not only in the country but also in other countries.
AVAILABILITY OF RAILROAD SERVICES TO MANILA
BETTER ORGANIZED UTILIZATION OF RAIL TRANSPORT COULD CUT TRUCKING COSTS BY 60%
