This study reveals the production level (quantity and quality), costs (investment and production costs- divided into material cost and human costs) profit and overall investment. Total cost of cultivation of apricot crop recorded Rs/100 trees is 12000/-, Labour cost recorded Rs 28000/- and shared of 100 percent to the total cost. Small farm size is analyzed for the total cost of cultivation of Apricot, yield/quintals and benefit received on/rupee is Rs.4.71/-, estimated gross return of Apricot was Rs/100 trees is 160000/- and obtained net return was Rs. 132000/-. The use of two technological invention viz., Harvesting net and apricot dryer were proves to be good technology and boon to farmers for saving the apricot productivity.
