With the land resources of the Cagayan Valley, Agriculture can be the main industry component. The large scale, highly mechanize agricultural technologies of Australia and Mid States of USA are suitable here.

The valley is 80 kilometers wide by 250 kilometers long with undulating terrain suitable for highly mechanize farming machinery. The area can sustain 5 Campuses of an Agricultural University where appropriate technologies in agriculture for the Cagayan Valley can be studied and adopted. The agricultural schools are corporations that will invest heavily in the acquisition of large track of land in the Cagayan valley for development. Australia and USA will be the main partner in the Agricultural venture. The long summer and short rainfall in the area makes the dryland farming technology in Australia very suitable. The market will be domestic and primarily export to Asian countries. The suitable weather (no winter), rich soil and abundant labor, abundant water from the Cagayan River, and large land base are very strategic advantages.

A technology of high impact are:

1. Dryland rice farming from Australia. The technology of leveling the land using electronic measuring devices that controls the implements.
2. Large scale potato plantation, grapes and wine, large scale corn farming, wheat, barley. Corn technology will come from Mid-State USA.
3. Animal husbandry and animal genetics, abattoirs and meat processing, and dairy for domestic and export.
4. Vegetables, horticulture and spices
