Polinga This study was conducted from January to March 2017 in selected vegetable farming municipalities of Cavite namely: Naic, General Emilio, Magallanes, Mendez, Tanza, and General Trias. Specifically, the study aimed to: 1) determine the socio-economic characteristics of vegetable farmers; 2) describe the gender based differentiation in reproductive, productive, and community activities of vegetable farmers; 3) analyze the access and control over resources and benefits of vegetable farmers, 4) determine the access and control of vegetable farmers in information and communication technology; 5) identify the problems encountered in performance of their roles, and; 6) identify policy recommendation that would improve the status of vegetable farmers. Descriptive cross-sectional design research was used in the study. The data for this research were gathered using an interview schedule, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Generally, vegetable growers were in their middle age, married, attained secondary level of education, and had farming as a major source of income. The vegetable growers had an average monthly income from vegetable farming of P10,159.00 and an average experience of 32 years in farming, 30 years experience in producing vegetables Productive activities were mostly done by males, while reproductive activities were mostly done by females. The access and control of cash was mostly done by both male and female. The resources such as land, farm equipment, labor, fertilizer, information, and technology, and the benefits such as income, agricultural credit, harvest, and training were both accessible for male and female. The control over benefits was also controlled by both male and female. And the control over resources was solely handled by the male. The study shows that there are not much of gender inequality to access and control over resources and benefits in vegetable farmers of Cavite On the other hand, majority of the vegetable growers could not access real-time information on weather, market and market prices, diseases and pests’ outbreaks, and availability of services. Among vegetable farmers lack of time ranked one as the main problem in performance of their roles in reproductive, productive, and community activities. Gender stereotyping was the next mentioned followed by unawareness, and lack of interest in community activities.
