Abstract: The purpose of the study was the comparison of production costs and profitability of dessert apple production between Poland and Germany in the years 2000-2014. To accomplish this data from farms located at Niederelbe region in Germany published yearly in one of local trade journals for growers, were used. In Poland the data were taken from, commercial apple farms located in Grójec region, which were purposively selected from bigger set of farms investigated previously by authors. The farms from Niederelbe region turned out to be more profitable than Polish ones. The biggest comparative advantage of lower human labour costs on the site of Polish farms seem to be not threatened in the coming years. To strengthen their competitive position, the Polish apple producers should seek to increase the orchard area in holdings.
