Abstract: The purpose of the research was the analysis of the zucchini market, the state of production in terms of key indicators in the world as a whole, in Russia, as well as on its individual subjects, and the assessment of the export and import components of this market..Gross harvest of squash and pumpkins in the world in 2010-2014 years increased from 23.26 million tons in 2010 year to 25.2 million tons in 2014 year - 1.9 million tones, or 8.3‰. Maximum volume of the gross harvest of squash and pumpkins made in China - 7.24 million tons of zucchini planted area in Russia in 1999-2015 years decreased to 34 thousand ha in 1999 year to 27.7 thousand ha in 2015 year. The main producers of zucchini in Russia today are the economy of the population. They accounted for 72.2‰ of the gross harvest zucchini. Main production volumes of marrow squash (89‰) are concentrated in the South (33.4‰ taking into account the Crimea), Volga (6.7‰), Central (22.6‰) and Siberian (6.7‰) counties. Processing of zucchini in Russia with 68.4 million of standard cans in 2002 increased to 112.9 million of standard cans in 2007 and gradually decreased to 0.27 million of standard cans in 2013. In 2015, production of canned zucchini increased to 3.22 million of standard cans. For ensuring consumption of vegetables at the level recommended by World Health Organization it is necessary to increase production of vegetable marrow to 0.86 million tons; to create keeping quality hybrids of vegetable marrows for transition to their universal year-round realization; to transfer cultivation of vegetable marrows to industrial technologies that will reduce by 3-5 times an expense of resources per unit area; to develop domestic commodity seed farming and to refuse purchase of expensive import seeds, to gradually increase processing of zucchini to the level of 2007.
