Vegetable and horticulture-based bio-industrial agriculture is a sustainable system consisted of farming, livestock, sewage treatment, agricultural product processing, and marketing sub-systems.

Data analysis was done by descriptive analysis, a ratio of R/C, and multiple linear regression analysis.
