Together, we are laying down the core strategies for the growth of Mindanao Region.”

Aligning with the national government’s Social Contract with the Filipino People, the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) adopts the Mindanao Development Corridors as a key spatial strategy that will help pave the way for a connected and globally-competitive Mindanao.

Focus on optimizing growth of regions based on their potentials and strategic roles in the overall development of Mindanao;

•

Build on the trade and economic strengths between and among regions through improved infrastructure, connectivity, logistics, industry development and investment facilitation.

BIODIVERSITY and ECO-TOURISM CLUSTER

NORTHERN MINDANAO DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR

Mindanao is subdivided into three (3) development corridors: Northern Mindanao Development Corridor, South-Central Mindanao Development Corridor, and Western Mindanao Development Corridor with five (5) industrial clusters that have complementary roles and competitive advantages.

Under the Mindanao 2020 Peace and Development Framework Plan as MinDA’s roadmap for peace and development, this corridor initiative aims to improve infrastructure, establish connectivity, and spur the development of growth clusters within Mindanao, allowing it to achieve balanced and inclusive growth among its regions. This will also help position Mindanao as a single, integrated economy that is able to leverage and participate in EAGA, ASEAN, and the global economic community.

•

Biodiversity and Eco-Tourism Cluster in South Central Corridor is characterized by a diverse ecosystem with rainforests, cave formations, rivers, pristine shorelines, and critical habitats of endemic flora and fauna.

Of the total 2.0 million hectares forest cover area of Mindanao, around 40% are found in this cluster.

A large share of Mindanao’s total production in rubber (52%), mango (37%), and coconut (24%) is also accounted for by this cluster.

This cluster enjoys edge in trade and economic cooperation given its cultural ties and proximity to Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei Darussalam.
