South Cotabato’s location bordering Sarangani, Davao del Sur, and Sarangani Bay give it a relatively central location within Mindanao, putting it within easy reach of a number of different populations centers, including Davao. This makes the area a hub for commercial activities within the region. Like many other Philippine provinces, agriculture plays a major role in South Cotabato’s economy and job market, as does fishing and food processing. Unlike most of the Philippines, however, typhoons are exceedingly rare in South Cotabato, allowing the cultivation of an extremely wide diversity of crops, including coconut, asparagus, bananas, and pineapples. South Cotabato is also known for its fishing and aquaculture. Yellowfin tuna is an especially prominent export of the area, with the majority of the country’s sashimi-grade tuna originating from the area. General Santos, in particular, has fishing facilities built to international standards for catch handling. General Santos City is also home to one of the country’s fastest-growing economies with service and retail industries being particularly prominent. It is also known as the “Shopping Capital” of the SOCCKSARGEN region, with people from all over the region regularly visiting it for supplies as well as for business and pleasure. The province is also home to a sizable international community, thanks to the ease of access as well as the presence of different commercial facilities in the area.
