Resumo: | In Tunisia, peaches have a significant place in the fruit tree sector. Planted areas have  been expanding ever since the eighties as a result of irrigation water extension and the  use of better yielding varieties. These factors resulted in high production levels and fruit exports  thereof.  However,  important  seasonal  and  annual  variation  of  fruit  supplies continues to characterize prices at both wholesale and consumption levels. To study the  response  of  peach  production  an  econometric  model  was  developed. Modelling  was carried out in two stages. First area variation was explained through new plantings and removals and second yield variation was analyzed. The methodological approach followed takes into account the characteristics and specificities related to perennial crops. Weak response of supply to variations in expected prices was obtained. Supply price elasticity was estimated about 0.13 suggesting a high degree of inelasticity.
