MinDA launches digital investment portal for Mindanao

The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) has officially launched the Mindanao Investment Portal to streamline business matching and site selection for local and foreign investors. Unveiled during the Mindanao Development Forum 2026, the digital platform serves as a one-stop resource providing access to investment-ready locations, regulatory tools, and high-value business opportunities.

In addition to digital infrastructure, MinDA is focusing on strengthening agricultural value chains by connecting farmers' cooperatives with processors, exporters, and major buyers. The initiative aims to transition farmers from raw material producers to active participants in value-added industries. Priority sectors for investment and market expansion include coconut, cacao, coffee, and cattle.

MinDA Chairperson Secretary Leo Tereso A. Magno stated that the portal signals that Mindanao is “open for business.” The initiative aligns with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s economic agenda to attract high-value industries and promote inclusive growth across the region.
