Abstract: Let

Z_{1, n}, n g e q 0

and

Z_{2, n}, n g e q 0

be two supercritical branching processes in different random environments, with criticality parameters

m u_{1}

and

m u_{2}

respectively. It is known that

f r a c 1 n l n Z_{1, n} i g h t a r r o w m u_{1}

and

f r a c 1 m l n Z_{2, m} i g h t a r r o w m u_{2}

in probability as

m, n i g h t a r r o w i n f t y .

In this paper, we are interested in the comparison on the two criticality parameters. To this end, we prove a non-uniform Berry-Esseen's bound and Cram'{e}r's moderate deviations for

f r a c 1 n l n Z_{1, n} - f r a c 1 m l n Z_{2, m}

as

m, n i g h t a r r o w i n f t y .

An application is also given for constructing confidence interval for

m u_{1} - m u_{2}

.
