COTABATO
 Cotabato City, historically, during its heyday as the capital of the
Maguindanao Sultanate, has been the most economically
prosperous city in the island of Mindanao. Its prosperity has
been taken away by civil internal strife beginning in the 1970s.
However, once it became part of SOCCSKSARGEN region in the
1990s, its economy began a
 radical economic recovery.
 As of now, the city currently serves as the center for economic
support activities, trade and finance, education and other
support services such as social, physical, cultural and other
basic services of Central Mindanao. It is now struggling to gain
its lost glory.

GENERAL SANTOS INDUSTRIES
 Agro-industry: Endowed with rich volcanic soil, ample and well distributed
rainfall all throughout the year and a typhoon-free climate, General Santos City
produces export quality high valued crops such as corn, coconut, pineapple,
asparagus, banana and rice. It also yields quality exotic fruits, vegetables and
cut flowers.
 The city is also a top producer and exporter of quality livestock such as poultry,
hogs, and cattle. But with the continuing growth in population and economy in
the passing of time, a number of the city's agricultural lands have gradually
been converted
 into built up areas in order to address the relatively growing need of dwelling
and viable spaces.
 Fishing industry: General Santos City is the largest producer of sashimi-grade
tuna in the Philippines. Thus in as early as 1970, the title "Tuna Capital of the
 Philippines" has become a tag to it. GenSan also accounts for the second
largest daily total catch of fish in the country after Navotas City in the National
Capital Region. Locals in the city boast that fishes and sea foods do not come
fresher than what is found in their locality.
