About 90 per cent of peach and nectarine production of the Mediterranean area is made in European countries, particularly in Italy (33 per cent), Greece (25 per cent), Spain (17 per cent) and France (12 per cent). The production of African countries is rather scarce; nonetheless the rhythm of increase is remarkable and in the period 1983-1992 the production has increased by more than 50 per cent. The greatest part of production is assigned to fresh market and it also feeds an important trade towards Northern and Central Europe countries. Peaches are assigned to industry in large quantities above all in Greece and Spain. As far as production costs are concerned the analysis we have made has highlighted important differences related to ripening seasons and the country.
