KOTA KINABALU: Bimp-Eaga Business Council (BEBC) Sabah and its Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) counterpart have proposed for a policy to facilitate seamless trade. BEBC Sabah chairman Carl Moosom and BEBC BARMM chairman Redentor Lauddin @ Popoy said this in a joint statement in conjunction with a trade mission to Sabah. Sabah and BARMM is separated by a boat ride from Sandakan port to Taganak island in Tawi Tawi. On a business note, they noted that Tawi Tawi was a big producer of seaweed accounting for over 50% of the Philippines' total seaweed production. "BEBC Sabah and BEBC BARMM is desirous to see this investment of Tawi Tawi into Sabah to downstream activities at one of the industrial parks available, (with POIC Lahad Datuk earmarked) as well as utilise its international ports to the world market," they added.
