Abstract: ESTEVA, GHEE ANN B. and MOJICA, BEA ELAINE 0. Lettuce (Lactuca saliva) Production Enterprise: An Entrepreneurial Development Project. Entrepreneurial Development Project Report. Bachelor in Agricultural Entrepreneurship major in Crop Production. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser Dr. Adelaida E. Sangalang. The lettuce production project was conducted at Barangay Banaba Cerca, Indang, Cavite from January 2019 to April 2019. The project specifically aimed to: (1) enhance knowledge and skills of the entrepreneurs in managing a lettuce production enterprise, (2) determine problems and solutions encountered, (3) determine the profitability; and (4) obtain income from lettuce production. The project had a total production area of 300 m2. The production area consisted of 18 plots measuring 1 in X 10 m. Each plot was planted with 330 lettuce seedlings, for a total of 5,940 Green Ice variety of lettuce. Procurement of seeds, bio-fertilizer, decomposed chicken manure, tools and materials were performed during pre-production activities. The production activities were land clearing, land cultivation, land lay-outing, plot preparation, application of decomposed chicken manure, preparation of sowing media, seed sowing, watering, hardening, transplanting, application of fermented plant juice (FPJ), pest and disease management, and weeding. Problems encountered during the project were chicken feeding, inadequate water supply, insect pests (loopers, armyworms and ants), disease (rhizoctonia rot) and weeds (carabao grass and uray,). Regardless of all the problems encountered, the entrepreneurs still learned and gained a positive outcome. Harvesting was done when lettuce reached its maturity period at 42 to 45 days after sowing. The lettuce plants were sold for P 120 per kilogram through orders of direct customers. Packaging was done using plastic. The student entrepreneurs' social media accounts were used to promote and advertise their produce. A total of P 15,448.73 capital was used for the production. The total gross income was P 21,720. The project gained a net income of P 6,271.27. The return on investment (ROI) was 40.59 percent
