Major Industries
Iloilo province is primarily
the commercial and trade center of Western Visayas, with commercial,
industrial development and rural banks, financial and investment
houses, insurance companies, and realestate agencies and developers.
Nevertheless, agriculture is the province's main source of livelihood.
In fact, Iloilo's production of rice, sugar and mango has made
it one of the country's top agricultural producers.
Fishing is the second biggest
industry, for Iloilo has rich fishing grounds. This is the site
of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center which conducts
researches on the spawning of milkfish and prawns; and the University
of Philippines (Miag-ao) which is the center of marine and aquatic
studies in the Philippines. The multi-million peso Iloilo Fish
Port also helps maximize the production of inland and deep-sea
fisheries in Western Visayas.
The Iloilo Commercial Port Complex,
the first island pier in the country, is a multi- purpose port
terminal which caters to both domestic and foreign containerized
and convention sites.
Cottage industries include pottery,
ceramics-making, weaving, woodcraft and handicraft.
