The purpose of this article is to determine the amount of harvested areas in the country from this type of permanent planting, to determine the dynamics of the change in the amount of production in different years in the period from 2015 to 2020 y., what are the average yields, which are the main producing countries, what quantities of apricots in tons do they produce and to offer opportunities for biological cultivation and processing of this tasty and irreplaceable fruit in valuable minerals and vitamins. The scientific methods used in the article are methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, extrapolation, comparative method, method of weighted average values, as well as other statistical and mathematical methods.
