Amid a challenging global economic landscape, homegrown developer Damosa Land continues to lead the charge in transforming Mindanao into a competitive investment destination. At the core of this effort is the Anflo Industrial Estate (AIE)—a master-planned, PEZA-accredited agro-industrial hub that is reshaping the countryside economy and attracting a diverse portfolio of international and local investors.
Strategically located within Davao’s agricultural innovation corridor and in close proximity to the Davao International Container Terminal, AIE spans 63 hectares of world-class industrial infrastructure. Its location offers tenants direct access to key export markets, creating a strategic advantage for firms looking to optimize logistics and strengthen their supply chains.
“AIE’s thriving ecosystem reflects the rising investor confidence in Mindanao as a strategic growth corridor,” said Ricardo F. Lagdameo, President and CEO of Damosa Land. “We are unlocking long-term value for investors while creating inclusive, sustainable opportunities for the region.”
A platform for global expansion
With its designation as a PEZA-registered economic zone, AIE extends a suite of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to investors, allowing companies to stay competitive despite global cost pressures. The estate is also well-positioned to benefit from the Philippines’ preferential trade agreements with major economies such as the United States, European Union, Japan, and ASEAN neighbors—offering a compelling launchpad for export-oriented operations.
As more companies pursue diversification away from traditional business centers, AIE is becoming an attractive choice for those seeking resilient, future-ready locations with robust infrastructure and strong institutional support.
Growing investor confidence
AIE’s roster of 24 locators from six countries underscores its growing stature as a preferred destination for investment. Industry leaders in agribusiness, advanced manufacturing, and food processing have already established a presence in the estate—affirming the viability of industrial expansion in southern Philippines.
One of its most notable locators, Head Sport, is setting up what will be the world’s largest tennis ball manufacturing facility, with a projected annual output of 14 million dozen tennis balls. Another major international player, Thai Coconut, is investing approximately 430 million baht to establish a high-tech coconut milk production facility in the estate.
On the domestic front, GMAC Logitech Refrigeration Corporation, a joint venture between Glacier Megafridge and AC Logistics Holdings Corporation, is constructing Mindanao’s largest cold storage facility with a 12,000-pallet capacity—boosting regional food security and cold chain logistics. Other Filipino firms such as First Panabo Tropical Foods Corporation and Southern Harvest, Inc. continue to process local produce like bananas for export to global markets.
“These companies are not only expanding their reach through AIE’s strategic location and competitive advantages but are also helping lay the foundation for a stronger and more inclusive economy in Mindanao,” Lagdameo added. “Anflo Industrial Estate continues to prove that world-class investments and countryside development can move forward together, and we are committed to positioning Mindanao as a key driver of national growth and a preferred destination for global and local investors.”
