Li Mao-tsung, a pottery expert living in the US, who was commissioned by the ROC government to do a study of the suitability of Palauan clays for pottery, says that Palau has a lot of clay of decent quality, making the islands a good location for the development of art pottery or large scale pottery and porcelain production.
曾經應外交部與帛琉政府邀請，到當地研究陶土狀況的旅美陶藝專家李茂宗就說，帛琉的陶土量多，品質也不錯，非常適合陶藝發展或生產大量陶瓷建材，像這樣的特殊產業與機會，都有待開發。
