A study was conducted to determine the socio-economic characteristics of the vegetable growers, describe the practices followed by vegetable growers in marketing vegetables; determine the market outlets for vegetables; and identify problems encountered by the vegetable growers. The study was conducted in selected areas of Cavite namely Alfonso, Tagaytay and Silang. A total of 50 vegetable growers were included as respondents in the study. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, averages and percentages. Result of the study showed that the average age of the vegetable growers was 36 years. Majority of them reached college level of education. Their average year in farming was eight years. Most of the producers preferred to deliver their produce to buyers, most of whom used their own vehicles. Majority of the vegetable producers payed by cash.
