🌏 Strengthening Yunnan–Mindanao Business Linkages | From Dialogue to Opportunity

The Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (DCCCII) joined the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) in welcoming a high-level delegation from Yunnan Province, China, in a strategic dialogue focused on advancing trade, investment, connectivity, and business-to-business cooperation between Yunnan and Mindanao.

Leading the DCCCII delegation was President Dr. Mirasol B. Tiu, together with Executive Vice President Xavier Eric B. Manalastas; Vice President for ICT Dr. Maria Lourdes G. Monteverde; Vice President for Agribusiness Cherrylin B. Casuga; Trustee Ruben L. See; Secretary General-General Manager Mary Antonette D. Doromal; and the Chamber’s key sectoral chairpersons representing Legal Atty. Rollie Dumalag, Manufacturing , ICT Talent Development William Wijangco, Fertilizers Dom Subang, Wholesale and Retail Trade Dexter So, and Shipping Arrastre/Stevedoring Gwen Vellases.

Representing MinDA were Chairperson and Secretary Leo Tereso A. Magno, Executive Director Usec. Janet M. Lopoz, and Investment Promotion and Public Affairs Office Director IV Rodrigo B. Giducos, who presented Mindanao’s economic strengths, investment opportunities, and the agency’s role in facilitating strategic investments and regional business linkages.

The Yunnan delegation, led by Department of Commerce of Yunnan Province Deputy Director General Ma Jun, brought together government officials and business leaders from key sectors including agriculture, food, technology, trade, e-commerce, and tea.

Discussions identified promising opportunities across agribusiness, food processing, renewable energy, tourism, logistics, and other strategic industries, with particular interest in agricultural products, fresh-cut flowers and vegetables, seasonal fruits, processed food, beef, cargo connectivity, and direct air links.

For DCCCII, the engagement is more than an exchange of introductions—it is an opportunity to convert conversations into commercial partnerships, market access, investment flows, and long-term economic cooperation.

DCCCII President Dr. Mirasol B. Tiu reaffirmed the Chamber’s commitment to helping create stronger bridges between Mindanao enterprises and international markets. As part of this commitment, DCCCII invited the Yunnan delegation to participate in the upcoming ASEAN Innovation Summit, to be held back-to-back with the Davao Agri Trade Expo this September 2026.

The invitation provides a strategic platform for Yunnan enterprises to meet Philippine businesses, explore investment and trade opportunities, identify potential partners, and build sustainable business relationships.

A proposed Memorandum of Agreement between DCCCII and Yunnan Province, facilitated through MinDA, was likewise discussed as a potential framework for strengthening sustained business-to-business cooperation, trade promotion, investment facilitation, and market linkages.

💼 The direction is clear: stronger connectivity, two-way trade, strategic investment, and partnerships that create value for both regions.

From dialogue to deals.
From connections to collaboration.
From opportunities to partnerships.

DCCCII continues to champion a more connected, competitive, and globally engaged Davao and Mindanao.
