MANILA, Philippines - New projects in housing, agriculture, health and wellness worth P477.38 million have secured the nod of the Board of Investments (BoI) for tax holidays, stimulating investments in the country but posing foregone tax revenues for the government at the same time.
Around 41.97 percent of the new investments will come from Filipino-owned Biotech Farms, which is mulling to put up a P200-million poultry farm with special pre-fabricated panels and accessories for all its facilities, equipment and state-of-the-art egg production processing system called controlled climate system.
The modern poultry farm will begin commercial operations in January 2010.
Other by-products such as culled layer and manure will serve as raw materials for organic fertilizers. It is expected the annual capacity for each produce will be 39.254 million fresh eggs; 135,360 pieces culled layer and 28,569 bags for manure.
Lynville Realty and Development Corp. plans to build three low-cost housing projects worth P140.93 million in over 2.72 hectares of land in Sta. Cruz, Laguna with 340 housing units.
