Quibael, Demetrio, Jr. Bencito, "A Study on the Profitability of Growing African Daisy in Selected Towns of Cavite", B. S. Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Agricul-ture, Major in Agricultural Economics, Don Severino Agri-cultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1986.
The study aimed primarily to determine the 1) so-cio-economic characteristics of african daisy growers, 2) marketing practices employed by the farmers, 3) cost of production and marketing african daisy, 4) level of production and the gross/net income obtained by the farmers, 5) relationship between profitability of grow-ing african daisy and some selected variables, and 6) constraints on production and marketing. This study was conducted in two selected towns of Cavite, namely: Tagaytay and Silang where large number of farmers are engaged in african daisy production. A sample consisting of eighty african daisy growers was selected through random sampling. The age of the farmers ranged from 30 years and below to 64 years and above with an average of 45 years. The african daisy growers, in general, reached or finished elementary level of education. They were supporting an average of five dependents. The farmers were generally share tenants or lessees and non-owners of the land they tilled. African daisy production was one of the major sources of income of farmers. Generally, large farms had higher production cost than smaller ones. Likewise, marketing cost was higher in large farms than in small farms. The level of production varied from farm to farm with large farms incurring higher cost than small farms. The average level of production for all farms was 3,999 dozens. The gross/net income likewise, differed among farms. The net income was not considerably high; however, positive profit indicates that african daisy production was profitable at all sizes of farm. The different factors such as size of farm, tenu-rial status, and cost of production were significantly related to the profitability of growing african daisy. On the other hand, the farming experience did not have
significant effect on the profitability of african daisy production. The problems encountered by the farmers were in-sufficient supply of rain, high cost of fertilizer, lack of investment capital, plant disease (pasik) and an unsound basis for pricing.
