Horticulture is a complex system based on the complex use of different types of resources. Horticulture organizations of the Krasnodar region execute their own farming activity in the conditions of great risks and high competitiveness from the sides of foreign producers. The profitability of horticulture depends on both managed factors and unmanaged, which are in close interdependence. Therefore, the very urgent problem is improvement of methodological approaches to the complex assessment of economic stability of agricultural organizations specializing on the production of fruit-berry produce with the use of indexes taking into account the conditions and peculiarities of functioning of this branch. The objective assessment of economic stability can promote to the increase of the quality of management of the organization and supply of their stable development

The problems of the increase of the economic stability of specialized fruit-growing organizations of the Krasnodar region are considered in the article. The analysis of the condition of the branch showed that for the last years the natural-climatic conditions lead to the frost-killing of stone fruit-tree gardens more stably and allow obtaining only the gross yields of large fruits. The total area under large fruit gardens in the region for the last five years has changed slightly and makes up 17896 ha in 2013. At present time in the Krasnodar region only 58 agricultural organizations have their own gardens and 13 of them are highly specialized enterprises with the share of gain from sales of fruits in 78%. However, the narrow specialization of farms increases the risk of obtaining of losses and the initiation of financial problems under unfavorable weather conditions. To obtain the stable high financial results is necessary to get the optimal combination of different branches and types of produce allowing the minimization the production risks. The emerged tendencies of the branch’s development, currency fluctuations and the prohibition of the import of agricultural produce from the countries of the EU permit to assess the perspectives of horticulture’s development in the region optimistically. In the article there were given the recommendations to obtain the stable development of the branch. There was marked the necessity of the maintenance of optimal correlations of branches and types of produce in specialized organizations, the application of modern agro-technological arrangements for obtaining of stable fruit yields, the necessity of state support as subsidies for the laying and the maintenance of gardens and in the creation of structures providing the guaranteed produce sales as well
