This is a simple case study, I only need a few items.

Abaca Hacienda Case Study

Abaca Hacienda is an agricultural land owned by six families formerly owned by the matriarch, TAN GU, Abaca Hacienda started small with a land area of 2 hectares. Today, the ownership total 157,000 hectares, In the early 1950s, the Land was primarily devoted to producing corn and these were sold to neighboring barrios and municipalities in the North. Since the land was fertile, the owner would from time to time convert its produce to tobacco being the primary agricultural product of the Ilocanos. To add to Abaca Hacienda's income, garlic and rice were similarly rotated. To maximize the land, the children of Tan Gu hired farmers to till the land. They gave them fertilizers to use. They improved the irrigation system and gave them help, technical and financial. The relationship between the Tan Gus and the farmers were cordial and warm. After all, the farmers earned a living while the owners enjoyed the profit. About 10 years ago, the Philippine government passed the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). This law stipulated that owners of agricultural lands could own at the maximum only 7 hectares. To keep this land together, the family of Tan Gu decided to make Abaca Hacienda a corporation. Individual stocks were distributed to the farmers, making them co-owners of Abaca Hacienda. However, management failed to administer the hacienda profitably. Profit sharing among the members was minimal, if not nil. A feeling of unrest started to creep in. A problem was steaming.

Things needed:

1. Viewpoint (person responsible)

2. Central Problem (one main problem)

3. Alternative Courses of Action (I need 3 alternatives, these all answer the central problem)
