A sample of 13 farms, located in Salhea area, sharkea governorate, was surveyed and post-stratified into small size orchards (10 feddans and less) and large size orchards (more than 10 feddans) to generate technical coefficients. Cash flow was prepared per  feddan for each scale and IRR and  NPV were calculated.
             Major results and conclusions can be summarized as follows: (1) IRR for large and small  Peaches farm is estimated by about 42%,  30% .(2) NPV Value for large and small  Peaches Orchards is estimated by about 37000.04, 20843.24.28 L.E. (3) P/C Value for large and small  Peaches farm is estimated by about 2.05, 1.39 L.E. (4) number of productive trees per feddans is 300 for large and small  Peaches farm. (5) feasibility of investment activity Aquaculture ocher area under the status quo ( current ) , and the ability of this activity on the face of the risks that may be encountered ( sensitivity ) analysis.
