Pineapple packing plant seen to help grow peace, prosperity in Lanao del Sur

LANAO DEL SUR, Philippines — A P306-million pineapple packing plant facility can help Lanao del Sur province recover from conflicts started by the Maute terrorist group, officials said Tuesday.

The setting up of the facility in Wao town in the first district of Lanao del Sur is a tie-up between the Wao Development Corporation, or WDC, and multinational fruit company Dole Philippines.

“This can disprove notions that it is unsafe for investors to come in and put up capital-intensive businesses in our province,” Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong, Jr. said Tuesday.
