Abstract: Javier, Felixberto P. "Post Harvest Handling Prac- tices of Ornamental Growers in Relation to Cost and Return," B.S. Thesis, Agricultural Economics, DSAC, Indang, Cavite. April 1982. This study was conducted with the following objectives: 1) to determine the socio-economic characteristics of ornamental growers; 2) to find out the different post-harvest handling practices employed by ornamental growers; 3) to determine the relationship between cost and return and post-harvest handling practices in ornamental growing. Five towns of Cavite were selected as research areas for this study. For the towns having a high density of ornamental growers, respondents were chosen by simple random sampling, while towns with low density of growers, respondents were totally enumerated. A total of 62 respondents were included in the study. The average age of growers was 44.02 years. Majority of the farmers were able to reach elementary level having an average of 10.21 years in ornamental growing. The average area devoted to ornamental growing was 0.20 hectare. All respondents marketed their products and nearly one-half of the growers practiced sorting and grading. The average cost of production was 3,135.03 per selling season, while the average net return was 9,185.50. Adoption of post-harvest handling practices was found not related to the cost of production but was significantly associated to returns from ornamental growing. Majority of ornamental growers reported October to December and April to June as their best time of sale. Re- tailers and wholesalers were usual buyers of ornamentals.

Five towns of Cavite were selected as research areas for this study.

For the towns having a high density of ornamental growers, respondents were chosen by simple random sampling, while towns with low density of growers, respondents were totally enumerated. A total of 62 respondents were included in the study. The average age of growers was 44.02 years.
