I met with a up and coming exporter of food products to Korea. He has partnered with Koreans, and they are selling many local products to Filipino community in Korea:   saging na saba, tilapia, bangus, boneless bangus, tocino etc.

One of their suppliers also a Korean, started five years ago with nothing.  Now he is a millionaire with a house in Alabang.  He started exporting through them Moringa, then tea from dried guyabano leaves.  (The Korean doctors discovered the the anti cancer properties of guyabano) and the coconut sap sugar.  For the latter they had a cooperative with the local mayor in Quezon, and they paid P150.00 per day for the coconut stalk cutter

Why does it take foreigners to see opportunities in the country.  I told long time ago to an acquaintance to start this business, ie developing suppliers in an island province like the coconut sugar, and other herbals.  We talk about so many herbals, but those who believe early seize the opportunity and make money from out of those ideas

One Korean I know has a vision of providing interment via crematorium.  He now has 14
