Abstract

The biannual cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata), a green, red, or white plant, is grown as an annual crop for its thickly leafed heads. A cabbage head can weigh anything between 0.5 and 4 kg. During the middle periods, cabbage had likely been domesticated and was a staple of European cuisine. Cabbage crowns are usually captured at the start of the plant's life cycle, while seedlings designed for fertilization are given a further year to grow. Africa's top two cabbage producers are Kenya and Ethiopia, who account for nearly 30% of the continent's overall production (FAOSTAT, 2008). In 2008, Africa produced more than 2 million tons of cabbage, a 20% increase over the previous ten years. The study's goals were to identify the socioeconomic elements that affect cabbage output, to identify the difficulties experienced by cabbage producers, and to evaluate how well they deal with those difficulties. The study used both a subjective and a statistical research methodology because there was enough knowledge about it to permit duplication for reassurance and confirmation. 48 landowners were picked as a sample. research.miu.ac.ug/publications 284 Metropolitan Journal of Social and Educational Research (MJSER) ISSN 1813-4262 (Print) ISSN 1813-4270 (online) Vol. 2 Issue 2, May - 2023, Pages: 211-226 Surveys were used to reach people, and information was then gathered, descriptive statistical processed, and displayed as percentages and frequency values.
