The Logistics Investments / Infrastructure project is an industry development initiative that identifies, promotes, and facilitates investment opportunities in critical logistics infrastructure and services across the Philippines. It focuses on high-impact sectors such as cold storage, inter-island shipping, warehousing, shipbuilding, and multimodal transport connectivity. The project develops investment prospectuses, coordinates with local and foreign investors, and supports public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements to address logistics bottlenecks. It aligns investment opportunities with regional infrastructure priorities, economic corridors, and supply chain needs. The project also handles investor engagements and business missions, providing technical and policy support to promote logistics as a key driver of national competitiveness and regional integration.
1. Opportunities in the Philippine Logistics Services Sector
A comprehensive investment promotion material that outlines strategic opportunities within the logistics sector. It showcases high-priority projects such as the Clark National Food Hub, the Sorsogon–Samar and Leyte–Surigao Submerged Floating Tunnel Projects, maritime shipping enhancements, cold storage development, logistics integration under the Luzon Economic Corridor, and various public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives. This document will be actively used in briefings with local and international stakeholders to promote the Philippines as a viable destination for logistics investments.
2. Cold Storage Investment Prospectus for LGUs
A technical guide developed to help local government units and potential investors assess and pursue cold storage infrastructure projects. It includes detailed investment requirements, demand analysis, site viability assessments, and return-on-investment projections to address key cold chain gaps in agriculture and fisheries logistics.
- Promoting the Shipbuilding Industry in the Philippines
A focused initiative to attract investments into the country’s shipbuilding and ship repair sector, particularly for vessels that support inter-island freight movement. The project highlights the need for regionally appropriate ship designs and supporting port infrastructure to strengthen supply chain connectivity, especially in geographically isolated areas such as Batanes.
3. Engagements and Missions
As part of its mandate to promote the Philippines to global investors, the project facilitates foreign business missions and bilateral investment dialogues. In October 2024, DTI-SCLC hosted a Dutch delegation exploring agro-logistics investment opportunities, including cold chain, farm-to-market systems, and digitalized agri-logistics solutions. A Chinese logistics delegation is expected in July 2025 to explore broader investment possibilities in warehousing, and integrated logistics operations. These engagements serve as platforms to align investor interests with the country’s logistics development priorities.
