In spite of the very favourable natural conditions and modest requirements regarding the use of agricultural techniques for growing quince, it is very difficult to explain the fact that quince is very little represented in the fruit industry of Serbia as well as other countries. During the period 1999-2008, the quince was grown on average on the area of 57,557 ha in the whole world, while the realized production was 442,747 t. In the world, in Europe as well as in the Republic of Serbia, there is a tendency of increasing of both the quince growing area and its production. Although the number of fruitful trees has been decreasing in the Republic of Serbia (the change rate is -1.04%), the quince production has been increasing by an average annual change rate of 1.99%. The overall investment value of the intensive quince plantation amounts 3,630 Eur/ha. The planting cost of 1,490 Eur/ha accounts for the greatest part (41.1%) in the overall cost of setting up a quince plantation. The realized profit, calculated as the difference between the production value and the production cost, amounts 8,580 Eur/ha.
