Very often, the fruit tree growing exploitations sell their gross production directly from the farm immediately afterharvesting, without sorting and storing it. The present paper aims at printing out the economic differences in applewithin the fruit tree-growing area of Voinesti –Dambovita County, comparing the en-gross selling of the fruits andthe selling after sorting by quality category. The higher economic efficiency, calculated for the 'Rubinola’ and'Sirius’ varieties in comparison with 'Jonathan’ and 'Golden Delicious’ varieties is also due to the fact that for thefirst two varieties the production costs were lower, thanks to the smaller number of phytosanitary treatments, sincethese have genetic endurance to the apple scab disease. The additional profit per hectare might vary between 280lei ('Golden Delicious’) and 2900 lei ('Rubinola’), which means an increase in the profit of 9,5 -43,5 %, comparedwith the en-gross selling.
