AUSTRIA, LOUIE CHAVEZ. "MANIMTIM ASPARAGUS GARDEN: A CASE STUDY" Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Major in Agricultural Economics, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite. Adviser: Mrs. Cecilia T. Cayao.
The general objective of the study was to evaluate the economics of asparagus production in Manimtim Asparagus Garden in Tagaytay City during its three years of operation (1991-1993). The asparagus garden is headed by the owner-farm manager who is incharge of the over-all managerial activities in the farm. One laborer is responsible in all farm activities. The management of the farm was simple, it was not laborious to manage once the asparagus plants were planted.
The farm was composed of 13 plots, each plot containing 138 plants. The overall number of plants in the farm was 1,794 during the time of the study.
The starting capital of the owner was P135,000.00, of which 76.89% was used for purchasing asparagus crown and 23.11% was used for other farm expenses.
The total farm cash receipts from the sale of asparagus shoots, seeds and seedlings amounted to P238,110.00. On the other hand, the farm expenses amounted to P52,996.50 of which 80.87% constituted cash cost. The net farm income for three years was P212,063.50.
The main problem of the farm was on production. The farm couldn't produce the target number of kilos of harvested shoots due to the damage caused by man and nearby animals. To resolve this problem, farm site should be well-fenced.
