Farm 7 Airfield

The airfield was not closed due to a specific event like an accident or military conversion. Its inactivity is a result of a strategic shift by its owner, Hijo Resources Corporation. The company ceased using it for agricultural aviation purposes in favor of a long-term plan to redevelop the site into a commercial international airport as part of a larger township project.

The physical runway still exists on the property of Hijo Resources Corporation in Barangay Madaum, Tagum City. The site is currently inactive and is part of the land bank for the proposed 'Hijo City' development. The runway is not maintained for active flight operations and is effectively a dormant asset awaiting redevelopment.

Farm 7 Airfield, more commonly known as the Hijo Plantation Airstrip, was a private airfield owned by Hijo Resources Corporation (formerly Hijo Plantation, Inc.). Its primary historical role was to support the vast banana and coconut plantations in the area. Operations mainly consisted of agricultural aviation (crop dusting) and serving the private air transport needs of the company's executives and guests. It was a crucial piece of infrastructure for one of the region's largest agricultural enterprises.

There are significant, though currently stalled, plans for the site. Hijo Resources Corporation has a master plan to redevelop the airstrip into the 'Hijo International Airport'. The plan involves extending the existing 1.2-kilometer runway and constructing a modern terminal to serve as an alternative to Davao's Francisco Bangoy International Airport. While these plans were actively promoted around 2016-2019, there has been little public progress in recent years, likely due to economic factors and the COVID-19 pandemic. The prospect for reopening is tied entirely to the future of this large-scale, private development project, and its current timeline is uncertain.
