Data were obtained from seventy-five farmers interviewed. Descriptive statistical tools such as frequency, range, and percentage were used to present and analyze the data. The average farm size tilled by the organic vegetable farmers was 2 hectares. The net profit margin ratio of organic vegetable farms is 58 percent. The overall gross profit margin ratio of organic vegetable farms is 88 percent. The total return on investment ratio of organic vegetable farms is 40 percent. The computed operating profit margin of organic vegetable production was 65 percent. The most common vegetable grown organically by vegetable farmers in selected municipalities of Cavite was string beans.
