Vegetable production has the highest gross farm margins and return to labor among Cambodia's five top crops, followed by cassava, maize, dry season rice, and wet season rice. The production cost and benefits of the vegetable is vital to understanding the economic viability of a farming system. This information provides the vegetable producers of basis decision making to understand the overall profitability of a farm. The better farming production type will be of great benefit to vegetable producers. This will lead to a better market connection and stable production margin. Chinese cabbage (Brassica Pekinensis L. Rupr.) is a popular leafy vegetable of Cambodian farmers and consumers among many kinds of vegetables for their daily food security and income generation. The main object of this research was to “Evaluate the household economic of Chinese cabbage production in the rainy season at lowland area, Cambodia”. The research site was conducted in 4 provinces at lowland area of Cambodia including: Kandal, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, and Svay Rieng Provinces. The research was conducted with 120 Chinese cabbage producers among 3 different production types including: open field (OF), net house (NH), and plastic house (PH) growing conditions. The purposive sampling method was used to select the target provinces and identify total sample size due to there was no exact population on Chinese cabbage producers; and the quota sampling method was used to identify the sample size in each target province and each production type. The collected data was normalized and analyze with Minitab 24.0 to examine all the results. The results of this research during the rainy season were revealed as follows: 1) The production cost of farmer’s Chinese cabbage under NH was higher than the production cost of Chinese cabbage under PH and OF growing conditions accounted for 129% and 207%; respectively. 2) The production income of Chinese cabbage under OF condition was lower than the production income of farmer’s Chinese cabbage under NH and PH growing conditions accounted for 356% and 377%; respectively. 3) The farmer’s production under the plastic house condition could earn net profitable 16,408.27$/ha with ROI=230.25% and EF=330.25% much more than the production under the net house 13,042.68$/ha with ROI=141.88% and EF=241.88%; and the production under open field condition 3.727.47$/ha with ROI=40.88 and EF=140.88% respectively. Consequently, the Chinese cabbage producers should grow their vegetable under the net house or plastic house conditions to increase their productivity during rainy season with more potential market and price to generate their incomes and daily livelihood as the conditions indicated the high enormous profits, return on investment (ROI), and economics efficiency (EF) for vegetable producers.
