SOLEDAD, MARK BRYAN T. Cabbage Production Enterprise. Entrepreneurial Development Project. Bachelor in Agricultural Entrepreneurship major in Crop Production. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Celso S. Crucido, Ph.D.
This entrepreneurial development project was conducted at the Crop Science Nursery, Cavite State University, Indang Cavite from November 26, 2013, to February 28, 2014. It aimed to provide opportunity for the student to gain more knowledge and skills in cabbage production as an enterprise project; harness the entrepreneurial skills of the student in operating and managing a cabbage production enterprise; determine the profitability of production of cabbage; and identify problems that may be encountered in a cabbage production enterprise.
Five hundred containerized cabbage plants were arranged in a piece of land with an area of 125 square meters at the Crop Science Nursery beside the College of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Natural Resources (CAFENR) building.
Production practices for cabbage var. Capitata including, sowing of seeds, transplanting, replanting, watering, fertilization, and harvesting were described. Postharvest handling operations such as weighing, sorting, trimming, and marketing were also included Postharvest losses include the heads of the cabbage that was attacked by the pests.
Cabbage heads were sold right after harvest at Php. 60.00 per kilo to the CVSU faculty and employees. The rest of the harvested cabbage were sold in Mahabang Kahoy
Cerca, Indang Cavite, and to some walk-in buyers. The entire operation incurred a total expense of Php. 11,487.00. With a total sale of Php. 18,000.00, the project generated an income of Php 6,513.00 and gave a return on investment of 56.70 % at a payback period of three months.
Growing cabbage in containers and using mulching films were more advantageous. It minimized the weed emergence and attack of insects. It also required less labor for weeding and spraying and insecticide application. Furthermore, the materials that were used can be recycled for use in the next cropping season.
