The company operates four business divisions: (1) Ice Plant, (2) Cold Storage, (3) Aquaculture, and (4) Processing Plant Division processes fresh and frozen tuna export market, and value-added tuna products for the local market. This division will be the focus of this five-year strategic plan. The objectives of this study are to increase revenue, increase net profit, and maintain employee turnover rate of the company.

Through external and internal environment analysis, several factors have been identified as the company's opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses. These were then assessed using the External and Internal Evaluation matrix. The results were then used in determining strategic options to address the division's major issues and problems. Tools such as the Internal-External matrix, SWOT Matrix, and Quantitative Strategic Plan Matrix aided in the selection of appropriate and attractive strategies. Results revealed that market penetration is the most attractive strategy for tackling the issues and achieving the objectives of the company.

Moreover, as an exporting company with a local business, being well-known in the local scene could in turn, improve company image for the export buyers. Several programs and activities were proposed in this plan, and financial projection was crafted to project the revenues and income gained for the strategy.
