Vegetable production can be considered one of the most vital activities of agriculture. This study focuses on open-field vegetable production farms in Albania. The study's objective is to identify risks according to five main categories: the production process, finding sources of financing, marketing products, compliance with laws, and human resources management. This study aims to use qualitative analysis of the risks that
threaten vegetable farms. The risk factor for each event is measured as a combination of probability and impact.For this study,isused the risk matrix method. Based on the matrix analysis, we concluded that the highest risk factors are flood, diseases, and pests, sometimes also illness or death of farmers. In general risk factors are unlikely to occur, but if the event occurs, the damage is catastrophic (they have the aggressiveness of a shark).Meanwhile, out of 19 risk factors analyzed, 52% have the aggressiveness of the rabbit, which means great fear,but the damage is relatively small, and 26% have the aggressiveness of the mouse, which means they have little likelihood and have no impact on the farmer's objectives.
