A variety of factors influence vegetable production, including soil, climate, markets, and water availability. Biographical information on vegetable farmers, information about vegetable gardens or farms, current vegetable farming procedures, irrigation practises on vegetable soil, and the farmers' physical and financial records were all evaluated in this study. Interviews and questionnaires were used to conduct the evaluation. Seventy-three percent of farmers polled farm community land, while 33.3 percent cultivate land ranging from two to four hectares. A model was created to represent the steps that vegetable growers must take to get community land from the Chief for vegetable production. Sixty-seven percent plough the garden soil to a depth of 30 centimetres. Eighty-seven percent of the twenty-eight responders are planting in seedbeds, while the rest are planting in regular rows without seedbeds. The findings of this research will assist vegetable producers in implementing best practises in vegetable production.
