N.B.
1. P means pioneer; NP means non-pioneer, P/NP means pioneer or non-pioneer to be determined on a case to case basis.
2. Under the column indicating the measured capacities, the word variable denotes the likelihood of a domestic demand-supply gap or of an export potential.
3. The classification of Pioneer status in the IPP is primarily on the basis of newness of the product. While NP ordinarily means non-pioneer, the Board reserves the right to change the status of an area, from NP only to P, after public hearing, if a new and better process is used in the manufacture of such product and there are economic advantages in giving the preferred activity pioneer status.
4. The Board reserves the right to add a variable measured capacity for export for any area listed which would have, based on recent developments, an export market potential.

3. List A
contains a list of exportable products of
existing firms.
Firms
registered for List A products shall be
entitled to all incentives granted under R.A. 6135 except tax exemption
on imported capital equipment. However, exceptions to this policy may
be made; and on a case to case basis, firms registered under List A may
be allowed tax and duty free importation of capital equipment, provided
that the following conditions are fulfilled:
a)
The applicant firms have already made commercial
exportation of their registered exportable products;
b) They are
currently utilizing close to one hundred
percent of their total existing capacity; and
c) They can
prove to the satisfaction of the Board
that the expansion capacity being applied for will be used
substantially (at least 50 percent), if not entirely, for export.
4. List B would include products of preferred projects which are intrinsically export-oriented, or of such a nature that even if production were to be substantially sold in the domestic market, they would still be desirable to promote. Enterprises registered under List B will be entitled to free importation of machineries only if the project will export at least 50 percent of its total production.
5. The Board reserves the right to suspend or restrict the exportation of any product listed in the EPP in the event of domestic shortage thereof.
1
In addition to the above conditions regarding
centrals in production areas, centrals in consumption areas must be
integrated with satellites, preferably modernized existing mills. A
satellite-central must have at least 1,500 MT of storage capacity and
equipped with facilities for bulk storage and handling, cleaning,
drying, hulling, milling, packaging and pest and rodent control.
2 Centrals in
production areas must be of at least
2,000 MT storage capacity and equipped with facilities for bulk storage
and handling, cleaning, drying, milling, grading, and packing, and pest
and rodent control. Processing capacities should be based on 3
stockturns per year.
3 Facilities
to be established in these areas as well
as in selected consumption areas determined by the Board to be
necessary to stabilize prices, may be utilized for corn
processing/storage. The extent of utilization for corn should not be
over 60 percent of capacity.
