Abstract: SACRO, JOSEPHINE CATAPANG, "Comparative Study on Profitability of Monocrop and Pineapple-Based Farms in Selected Municipalities of Cavite", B.S. Thesis, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1997. Adviser: Dr. Luzviminda A. Rodrin. This study aimed primarily to 1) determine the socio-economic characteristics of pineapple growers; 2) determine the cost and return from monocropping and system; 3) compare the net pineapple-based cropping return from monocrop and pineapple-based farm by tenure status; 4) ascertain the relationship between the cost of and return from pineapple production and some socio-economic variables; 5) identify the confronted by the pineapple growers. This study was conducted covering three selected municipalities of Cavite namely: Alfonso, Silang and Tagaytay. There were 100 respondents consisting of 50 monocrop farm pineapple-based farm and 50 growers. growers selected problems The mean age, tenure status and size of the farm of the monocrop farm growers were higher than those of pineapple-based farm growers. However, pineapple-based farm growers had a higher mean annual family income. Both pineapple growers had mean household size of six. Fifty-six percent of the monocrop farm growers were share-tenants while 46 percent of the pineapple-based farm growers were owner-operators. In general, both pineapple growers considered pineapple farming as their main source of income. The average net income from pineapple monocrop and pineapple-based farm were found not significant. Socio-economic such as educational attainment, and farming experience did not affect the cost of pineapple production, but tenure status and farm size was found significant to cost of production in monocrop farms. On the other hand, none of the selected socio-economic variables affect the net return from monocrop farms. Educational attainment, tenure status and farm size had no influence on cost of production from the pineapple-based farm. On the other hand, educational attainment, tenure status and farm size were not related to net return. Farming experience was related to net return from pineapple-based farms. Different production and marketing problems observed such as poor quality of the produce, prevalence of weeds, high cost of farm inputs, lack of capital, poor feeder roads and means of transportation.
