Gensan Economic Zone

Aquino III has issued
Proclamation No. 820 dated July 3, 2014 creating and designating
Gensan Economic Zone (GEZ) as Special Economic Zone under the
Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA). The Gensan Economic Zone is located in Brgy. Tamber, General
Santos City with a total area of about 50 hectares. It is strategically
located in the heart of Gensan’s industrial zone, and within
5-kilometer to

key ports: Makar Port, General Santos City
International Airport, and General Santos Fishport Complex. GEZ has two functional seaports - one of which is the alternate
commercial port of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). Both ports
have draft of negative 35 meters and combined berth length of
about one (1) kilometer. Damalerio Realtors Incorporated, the developer/operator of
Gensan Ecozone, has started the zone’s development with the
construction and upgrading of vital infrastructure support facilities
and utilities: perimeter fence, road network, drainage and water
lines, power supply, water system, telecommunication lines, and
wastewater treatment facility. A number of foreign companies have expressed serious interest to
locating in the zone. With SOCSKSARGEN’s strategic location in the
East ASEAN Growth Area, the Gensan Economic Zone could attract
investments from the member states and the rest of the ASEAN
countries..
