Abstract. Vegetables are an essential part of the population’s diet, a source of biologically active substances that play a significant role in a healthy diet and prevent the occurrence and development of diseases caused by micronutrient deficiency. The level of vegetable consumption is directly dependent on the level of regional self-sufficiency in these products. In this regard, it is of interest to analyze the volumes and structure of production and consumption of vegetables in different regions of the Russian Federation, which is an important task for ensuring healthy nutrition of the population and increasing the level of selfsufficiency of the country. Statistical data, scientific publications were analyzed and systematized, trends and progressive approaches to the topic under consideration were identified. The dynamics of vegetable consumption volumes was studied, and the compliance of consumption volumes with rational standards was assessed both in the Russian Federation as a whole and in the context of federal districts. The level of self-sufficiency of each region in agricultural products was assessed. Problematic regions have been identified and directions for increasing their self-sufficiency have been identified, such as an informed choice of types and varieties of vegetables; support and development of agricultural enterprises; improving the condition of soils, increasing their fertility; introducing new technologies and methods for growing vegetables, as well as improving infrastructure and access to markets. The results of the analysis will help identify the problems of each region and develop strategies to improve the situation in certain areas of the country. Recommendations for improving self-sufficiency in vegetables include both technological and organizational measures aimed at developing agriculture and improving product quality. These studies play an important role in ensuring food security in Russia and maintaining public health at a high level.
