Abstract
The aim of the paper was to determine economic efficiency of peach and nectarine production in the selected farm in the rural settlement of Smilčić in the area of Benkovac town in the County of Zadar. Based on the data from the survey and on the business documents of the farm, a gross margin calculation was made for 2007 and
2008. Costs and revenues determined by calculation were the basis for calculation of relevant economic indicators. The total surface of the peach and nectarine orchard is 6.5 ha, out of which 6 ha is in production period, and 0.5 ha is young peach and nectarine
orchard. In 2007 the farm realised an income of 121,421.00 HRK, and in 2008 an income of 192,105.00 HRK. The values of economic indicators of labour productivity, cost-effectiveness and profitability show that the production of peach and nectarine in the analysed farm was economically efficient in the two-year period.
