This study aims to highlight the current situation of the orchard crops in North Sinai. This includes studying the factors affecting the productivity of the different species of peach trees such as their cost, returns, and annual net return. This study aims to highlight the current situation of the peach crop in North Sinai. So that the main objectives of this study could be summarized as follows: 1-Identify the current situation of peach crop using previous studies in order to evaluate peach crop productivity. 2- Characterization the study samples in terms of production processes to identify the quantities of inputs and outputs.
