ARMM launches barter trading at Polloc port in Maguindanao - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos: "COTABATO CITY, Philippines – The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) sees a bright business prospect ahead as it launched its maiden barter trading voyage at the Polloc Free Port in Parang, Maguindanao on Monday.
Made up of 23 Muslim entrepreneurs engaged in small and medium-scale trading, the first batch aboard M/L Aizalyn III, would have as its cargoes seaweeds, mangoes and flour, said Philippine Ports Authority regional manager Harry Mohammad.
The maiden voyage to the Sandakan port of Malaysia will have a travel time of three days.
“We hope to see more trips, more participation of our local investors in the future,” Mohammad said.
The revival of the ARMM barter trade came when Acting Regional Governor Ansaruddin Adiong assumed the post in December 2009 ordered the rehabilitation of Polloc port, long abandoned due to security problems and alleged high port charges and toll fees."
