In order to ensure that the growth and development targets of the province are met, efforts are geared towards the strengthening of agro-based and wood-based industries without sacrificing Quirino’s protected forest areas. The Provincial Government has identified three (3) major priority investment areas.

The first major investment goal is to make the province a logistic hub through the enhancement and upgrade of the distribution system of agro-livestock products. The national agro-livestock distribution hub will provide the one-stop service for a systematic “gathering-storage-processing-packing-distribution” process, on the basis of a large amount of related products from surrounding areas. The hub will consist of storage facilities for raw materials and products, agro-livestock processing, and a distribution business center (which will include areas for packing, design, and marketing).

Another priority investment is the High Valued Primary Industry Research and Development Complex. This R&D center will function as a network for various researchers from industries, universities, and government in the field of High Value Crop Production. The complex will include: a research center of Agro-Livestock Technology, a demo farm for research of locally applicable Agro-Livestock Technology, a by-product fertilizer research center, and a housing facility for technical personnel.

The third priority investment area is the Wood and Furniture Industry Complex, which will include integrated processing storage, manufacturing and distribution facilities. It will promote furniture manufacturing as the region’s specialized industry production field and business system.
