Meravá, E.
The contribution deals with the evaluation of balance indicators development in the fruit and vegetable sector in last nine years in the European Union and in the last decade in Slovakia. In the European Union average areas and production were decreased, vive versa, production intensity was increased. The same situation was for fruit orchards. In the vegetable sector all indicators were decreased (areas, production and yield). In the Slovak Republic it was grown less fruit and vegetable than it was necessary for covering of consumption. Absence of production was replaced by import. In the analysed period, its volume was increased and it was resulted in an increased negative trade balance. The unfavourable situation was affected also by inadequate location of domestic production at the market and by low competitiveness as compared to foreign producers. As to fruit and vegetable growing, it flows from the analyse, that the producers organized in producer and marketing organizations reach best results. Positively can be evaluated an increase of fruit production in fruit orchards and consequently its higher share on the total fruits supply.
