BAYBAY CITY -- A Chinese coconut husk processing firm will soon open in this city after it gets pertinent papers to start operation, Mayor Carmen Cari said.
Cari said the firm, whose products are to be shipped in China, already acquired a property in the city where it will construct its processing plant in about six months from now.
Baybay is generally an agricultural city, with farming as a major means of livelihood. Among its most common crops are palay, corn, abaca, root crops, fruits, and vegetables.
Cari said with the infestation of its major crops, including abaca; she hopes that the plant will provide alternative livelihood and source of income among her constituents.
Cari added a Japanese firm also visited the city to look for a possible site for the construction of its plant.
“They want their processing plant to be near coastal area because they are also planning to put up their own wharf,” she said. (Leyte Samar Daily Express)
