REGION IV-B MIMAROPA

The region of MIMAROPA has an economy driven primarily by agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Additionally, the region makes a significant contribution to national corn production, supplying raw materials for various end products such as cornstarch, corn syrup, corn oil, and gluten. Beyond farming and fishing, MIMAROPA boasts thriving industries in eco-tourism, partly owing to its two natural UNESCO World Heritage sites (The Puerto Princesa Underground River and Tubbataha Reefs,) as well as aquaculture, and world-class marble production, particularly anchored in Romblon.
