Abstract: Fresh vegetables and fruits are an integral part of modern man's diet. However, most of the world’s adult population, including Russia, listened little to the recommendations of the World Health Organization and did not pay much attention to food and health. There was a need to increase the demand for fruits and vegetables in order to achieve the minimum physiological standard recommended by scientific medicine. In Russia, the level of the minimum rate of vegetable consumption is lower than in the international standard, although this indicator is directly related to the population's health criteria and also affects the development of the vegetable growing industry as a whole. During the study the authors used the materials of official statistics and a number of Russian and foreign analytical companies, on the basis of which calculations and conclusions were made. According to the results of the work carried out, the actual consumption of vegetables varies from the statistical one and remains significantly below the minimum one. Ensuring the level of consumption of vegetables by the population to the standards recommended by scientific medicine is one of the important State tasks affecting the aspects of health care, sustainable development of vegetable and seed production industries and rural development, import substitution and, in general, food security of the country.
