Abstract: The article deals with topical issues of the functioning of the horticulture and fruit processing industry in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, which includes the Republics of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Federation. The significance of the development of the analyzed structural units of the fruit subcomplex of the agro-industrial complex is determined by the range of various issues to be solved: economic, social, environmental, rural areas, which will significantly affect the expansion of interaction between the EAEU member states. The current trends in the production of fresh and processed horticultural products are reflected, comparative data on the development of the analyzed industries, average per capita consumption, volumes of export and import operations are presented. The analysis covers the period 2015-2020. The relevance of the problems of the article is due to the fact that fresh and processed horticultural products are officially included in the group of main import categories in the EAEU countries, which implies the need for accelerated increase in the volume of own production of these products, improvement of structural changes in the economy, quality of new dynamics in solving the main task of any state - improving the health of the population. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the need to deepen mutual cooperation in conditions of unfavourable economic and geopolitical conjuncture in order to achieve sustainable, balanced development of horticulture and fruit processing industry, reduce production and economic losses, and ensure food security of the population. The methodological basis of the study was the data of the national state statistical services of the EAEU, analytical data of scientific publications, as well as scientific research of scientists on improving agri-food policy. Statistical analysis methods were used. The study showed that in the EAEU countries there is an increase in the area of perennial plantings, the volume of production of fresh and processed fruit and berry products, the trade turnover between them is expanding. Russia makes the largest contribution to exports and imports within the five countries. Promising directions of integration cooperation of the EAEU member states for increasing production potential and cooperation in the analyzed area have been identified. The results obtained can be used by state authorities to improve the ongoing transformations in the agricultural sector.
