Qualitative data were analyzed using the Thematic Analysis principle assisted by N-Vivo 12 software, while quantitative data processing for measuring economic performance used descriptive statistics. The results of the study show that the economic performance of the majority of informal agriculture-based industries (60%) has a Net Profit Margin of 5-19%, and 13% has an NPM >20% while 27% has an NPM <5%.
