Peach is one of the most important stone fruit in Zone II of North Western Himalayan valley. Peach cultivating farmers was selected using multistage random sampling techniques. The production constraints and economics of peach (Prunus persica (L) Batsch.) cultivation in Himachal Pradesh have been analysed. Results revealed that the economic productive life of peach orchards has been taken up to 20 years. The internal rate of return (IRR), Modified internal rate of return, net present value, benefit-cost ratio and payback period at 12 per cent discount rate have been worked out to be 20.54 per cent, 16.00 per cent, Rs 73827.58, 1.34 and 9 years, respectively. The results also revealed that the peach orchards are worth retaining as long as they give the income of about Rs 9762 over the annual maintenance cost. The economic appraisal of investment methods has indicated that annual amortization method may be preferred, because of its simplicity, efficiency and close to real situation results. To achieve the targets of fruits production, priority should be given to proper post-harvest management, including establishment of mechanical grading, packaging, on-farm processing, cold storage and quality control measures to minimize post-harvest losses and provide remunerative prices to the peach growers.
