Abstract: The paper deals with the profitability issue of industrial organic (ecological) plum production as well as the profitability of its processing into dried plums in East Slavonia. The authors explore the production prospects of both respective products on the basis a cost-benefit analysis and a production-cost analysis. The analysis is based on historical pre-feasibility study data, which is used as a basis to draw conclusion about production profitability. The trend of deteriorating weather conditions during the past several years, which has a huge impact on the overall agricultural production, is taken into consideration as well. The paper aims to prove the prospects of investment potential in East Slavonia on the basis of a real-life plum production and processing example. The numerical variables used in the analysis are precise and based on market research and financial-analysis methodology. In addition, a conclusion about the plum production is presented.
