3. The dynamic industrial landscape of Talibon is flourishing.
The Talibon LGU, already recognized as a multi-award agricultural and fisheries hub in the country, did not rest on its laurels but continues to refine and expand this industry. A regional center for research, training, hatching, and related operations has been established in barangay San Francisco, occupying an area of over seven hectares. Fish egg hatching is now fully operational and buildings are partially constructed.
Back to back in brgy San Francisco, Talibon hosts the province's largest drydock and shipbuilding company, wholly owned and operated by Filipinos/Boholanos servicing local and foreign ships. Starting from modest beginnings, the company has steadily expanded, generating jobs and enhancing its industry expertise while adding revenue generation for municipal LGU. (Further information on this subject will be posted to this blog at a later date. Stay tuned.)
Surprise? Here's more.
The seaweed industry is thriving, revitalizing, and finding its luster after it deteriorated several years ago. Today, a hub for semi-process seaweeds that supplies both local businesses and overseas companies has risen and in full operation in Talibon. Also wholly owned and operated by Talibongnon. This development not only generated jobs but also prompted Talibongnon living on islands to expand and develop modern seaweed plantations with the initiative/assistance from municipal LGU.
Currently, several cooperatives and associations are also producing seaweed food products, which are gradually being made available in supermarkets. With financial grants and training from municipal LGU, it may not be long before they develop into a big manufacturing company or cooperative.
