Philippines to woo investors in nickel ore processing: minister

MANILA (Reuters): The Philippines is working to woo investment into its domestic nickel processing sector, the environment minister said on Thursday (April 27), as the resource-rich country looks to squeeze value out of its metals and minerals industry.

Already a major nickel ore supplier to top metals consumer China, the Philippines must now move up the value chain, Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga told ANC News Channel in an interview.
