This study was conducted in Nasugbu, Lian and Tuy to determine the characteristics of mungbean farms and fanner- respondents; the present level of farm resources used and the production of mungbean farms; the difference between production and resources used per hectare under different farm sizes; the relationships that exist between the dependent variable (production) and independent variables such as man-labor, fertilizer and pesticides; the efficiency of resources in mungbean farms; and the problems encountered by mungbean farmers. The study covered a total of 100 respondents. The average age of the farmers was 58 years and majority of them had attended formal education with about four dependents. Farmers were mostly owner-operators cultivating an average of 1.6 hectares with average farming experience of 17 years. Mungbean farmers were generally low income earners as proven by a mean of P 4,837.55 per farm annually. They were mostly small farm holders of one hectare farms. It was noted that large farm holders utilized higher amount of fertilizer and pesticides than small farm holders. In terms of man-labor, large farms were more labor intensive that small farms.
With regards to average productivity, small farms were more productive than large farms as indicated by a higher output. Significant difference on the level of man-labor and pesticides used per hectare of small and large farms was revealed. Estimates using Cobb-Douglas production function found that land area had significant relationship with production. A decreasing return to scale was observed in mungbean farms. In assessing the marginal productivities of inputs, land area was found over utilized.
