Abstract: PARAS. ANNALYN G. AND LLANERA, PRINCESS MAE T. Economic Analysis I Of Mussel Farming in Bacoor, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics major in Business Economics. Cavite State University. June 2018. Adviser: Ms, Thea Mules Perez. This study was conducted to perform an economic analysis of mussel farming in Bacoor City, Cavite. Specifically, this described the socio-economic characteristics of mussel farmers in Bacoor City, Cavite; determined the characteristics of mussel farms; examined the profitability of mussel farming in Bacoor City; and ascertained whether there is a significant difference in the profitability of mussel farming based on the culture methods used. Descriptive research design was utilized in this study. The participants were 187 mussel farmers from six selected coastal barangays of Bacoor City. The data were collected through interviews with the participants with the aid of an interview guide It was revealed from the study that mussel farmers in Bacoor City were mostly middle-aged male, married, and completed secondary education. They have been longtime residents of their barangay with extensive experience in mussel fanning. It was also shown that mussel farming was not the only source of income of their families. The mussel farmers in Bacoor City operated in at least one-hectare or more than 10,000 sq m farm lot. All of the mussel farms covered in this study were government or publicly owned wherein participants had to obtain a license or fishpond permit from the City Government of Bacoor under Fishpond Licensing Agreement (FLA) The most common culture method employed in mussel farming in Bacoor City was the combination of stake and raft methods. These mussel farms usually employed seven workers. Fresh mussels were generally harvested after a growing period of six months It was revealed from the findings that mussel farming is a promising source of livelihood or income for residents of Bacoor City since the average annual net TWO fit was P7.5 per sq m. and an average NPM of 41 percent. The high NPM indicates that mussel farmers were able to effectively convert their revenues into actual profits. Finally, test statistics showed that the raft culture method was the most profitable method of mussel farming followed by the combination of raft and culture methods. The stake or tubs method was the least profitable culture firming method. Hence, it was recommended to mussel farmers to adopt the raft culture method in mussel farming.
