These technologies are mainly light processing industries, horticulture based, food processing based which may be independently operated to supply the needs of the new community, local demand and export. They can also be an upward or downward integration of the main industry. The search for portable industries appropriate for the Philippine project is completed. Workers in the portable industries can be:

  • dependents of the main industry worker e.g. wife, parents, relatives, children. A ratio of 1 main industry worker to 5 dependents is factored into the design.
  • special skills worker imported into the new community
  • social disadvantaged e.g. orphans, disabled, destitute, aged who are cared for by the community.

The portable industries are viable business units in themselves and portions of profits are allocated for social care. Social care is in the form of hospitals, free accommodation for those adopted in the community.
