The objective of this work was to carry out a financial profitability analysis of truck farmings especially those of cabbages of China and headed cabbages in Lubumbashi in order to encourage the truck farmers to invest in these cultivations. The studied parameters relate to the socio demography, the production costs, the surface, the output, selling the prices, the incomes and the profit margins. The results showed that there are 86, 7% women in the production of cabbage of China and 53% men for headed cabbage. The main production cost of cabbage returns to the agricultural inputs, respectively 78% and 84,5% for cabbage of China and headed cabbage. The occasional paid labour presents 22% and 15,5% successively for cabbage of China and headed cabbage. On a surface of 15m2, the headed cabbage generates a benefit of 23,1±2,4 $ whereas the cabbage of China gives 13,6±1,7 $ of it. Each dollar invested for cabbage of China and headed cabbage brings back respectively 2,3 and 2,7$. The headed cabbage appears profitable because it translates a financial rate of profitability of 275% ˃230,5% for cabbage of China. Nevertheless; the possibility of producing cabbage of China 3 or 4 times a year makes it competitive. The limit of this study is that we cannot assess land cost, cost of agricultural materials and family labour because of the phenomenon of mutual aid at the truck farmers
Author Keywords: urban agriculture, production, cabbages, expenditure, income.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to carry out a financial profitability analysis of truck farmings especially those of cabbages of China and headed cabbages in Lubumbashi in order to encourage the truck farmers to invest in these cultivations. The studied parameters relate to the socio demography, the production costs, the surface, the output, selling the prices, the incomes and the profit margins.

The main production cost of cabbage returns to the agricultural inputs, respectively 78% and 84,5% for cabbage of China and headed cabbage. The occasional paid labour presents 22% and 15,5% successively for cabbage of China and headed cabbage.

Abstract: (french)
L'objectif de ce travail était d'effectuer une analyse de rentabilité financière des cultures maraichères spécialement celles de choux de chine et chou pommé à Lubumbashi afin d'inciter les exploitants de s'y investir davantage. Les paramètres étudiés sont relatifs à la socio démographie, les coûts de production, la superficie, le rendement, les prix de vente, les revenus, la marge bénéficiaire. Les résultats ont montré qu'il ya 86,7% des femmes dans la production de chou de chine et 53% d'hommes pour le chou pommé. La part importante de coût de production de choux revient aux intrants agricoles, respectivement 78% et 84,5% pour le chou de chine et chou pomme. La main d'œuvre salariée occasionnelle présente 22% et 15,5% successivement pour le chou de chine et chou pomme. Sur une surface de 15m2, le chou pommé génère un bénéfice de 23,1±2,4 $ alors que le chou de Chine en donne 13,6±1,7 $. Chaque dollar investi pour le chou de chine et chou pomme rapporte respectivement 2,3 et 2,7$ .Le chou pomme serait plus rentable car il traduit un taux de rentabilité financière de 275%˃ 230,5% pour le chou de Chine. Toute fois ; la possibilité de produire le chou de chine 3 à 4 fois l'an lui rend compétitif. La limite de cette étude se situe au niveau où on ne sait pas déterminer le coût foncier, coût des matériels et celui de la main d'œuvre familiale à cause du phénomène d'entraide chez les maraichers.
