Abstract: The growing community concern about the wide range of economic and environmental challenges posed by human activities dictates a new trend of responsible consumption aimed at the purchase and consumption of healthier, organic and environmentally friendly foods. There are restrictions for the development of organic products not only in the region, but also in general among the population of the country, including cultural features, underdevelopment of state regulation and infrastructure in the field of urbanized crop production and a low level of awareness of the population, etc. These factors cause the current gap between the potential willingness of consumers to buy niche vegetables, which determines the relevance of this topic. This article considers the peculiarities of the production and consumption of vegetable products in the context of increasing needs and changes in the taste preferences of the population towards healthy and proper nutrition, including the growing consumption of niche vegetables in the Siberian Federal District (using the example of the X5 grocery chain). Issues related to production factors that directly affect the volume of consumption of vegetable products are raised. Options for production of vegetable products of urbanized crop production in Siberian region are considered and proposed.
