Abstract: MADRIGAL, GLENDA FERNANDEZ. Training Needs Assessment of Fruit Vegetable Farmers in Selected Towns of Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Development Management major in Training Program Management. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2002. Adviser: Dr. Anastacia M. Bayas. This study was conducted to assess the training needs of fruit vegetable farmers in selected towns of Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to determine the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the fruit vegetable farmers in selected towns of Cavite, determine the subject matters and particular topics that the fruit vegetable farmers felt they need for training, identify the training preferences as to the manner, methods, organization to conduct, duration, location, and season, and determine the relationship between fruit vegetable farmers ' demographic and socio-economic characteristics and their perceived training needs. Data were gathered from 150 fruit vegetable farmers using interview scheduled. Methods of analysis used include frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviations, ranked and chi-square test. Most of the respondents were male, married, with an average age of 49 years, residency of 40 years, family size of six, farming experience of 27 years and farm size of 15, 000 square meters. Their average annual income was P86,089.20. Almost 79 percent were tenant and more than 76 percent and 77 percent were not members of the association and not able to attend training in the last two years. Among the five subject matters presented to the respondents, fruit vegetable production was the most frequently mentioned. This was followed by livestock production, crop production, processing/small business enterprise, and manpower skills training. With regards to the conduct of training, respondents preferred live-out training with lecture-discussion and demonstration methods combined for fruit vegetable production, livestock production, crop production, and processing/small business enterprise. Practical/actual method was selected for manpower skills training. Respondents preferred government agencies to sponsor training. Two-day training was selected for livestock production, crop production and processing/small business enterprise while one week and five-day for fruit vegetable production and manpower skills training. Cavite was the most preferred to be the venue of the training during dry/summer season. Results of the study revealed that age and farming experience of the respondents showed significant relationship with their perceived training needs, while gender, length of residency, size of farm, household size, annual income, membership in association and attendance to training in the last three years were not significantly associated with their perceived training needs.
