Business confab in Mati to boost local econ
THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Southern Mindanao is optimistic that the staging of the 7th Davao Business Conference in Mati, Davao Oriental will be a big boost to the local economy.
The gathering of Mindanao businessmen, which will be conducted in time for the weeklong celebration of the Pujada Bay Festival, is organized by the Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Davao Region.
It is slated on June 22 and 23 and hosted by the Davao Oriental Eastern Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (DOECCI) and the Local Government of Mati.
DTI regional director for Southern Mindanao Merly M. Cruz said a number of businessmen from various areas in the region are coming over to Mati to participate in the activity.
With this, there will be more potential investors that will see the advantage of pouring their capital not only in Mati but also to the entire province of Davao Oriental.
"There's a lot about Davao Oriental that a businessman has to know about. By having the 7th Davao Business Conference there, the participating entrepreneurs will realize that numerous raw materials and resources can be found there. And investing in the said province is a wise decision," she said.
Among the major products and raw materials that are rich in the province are coconut, corn, cacao, banana, vegetables, and high-value commercial crops like mango, pomelo, and orange. It is likewise known for its marine products such as tuna, lapu-lapu, lobster, crabs, and prawns.
