Abstract: Modern agricultural policy is aimed at achieving food security in the production and consumption of vegetable products based on import substitution. The implementation of the State program for the development of agriculture and regulation of markets for agricultural products, raw materials and food contributed to a 10.7‰ reduction in vegetable imports. However, this problem has not been solved in the Russian Federation. The level of self-sufficiency in vegetables and melons is 87.2‰. In order to provide the population with sheep, we studied the trends in the development of open and closed ground vegetable growing, its location on the territory of the country and economic efficiency, which causes a low investment attractiveness of the industry. The article substantiates the main directions of increasing vegetable production and improving its profitability such as the rational distribution within the country, the concentration of vegetable production in specialized organizations and farms, innovative development, construction of greenhouses the fourth and fifth generations, the use of modern vegetable production technologies, the use of high-yielding promising varieties of vegetable crops, automation and complex mechanization of the most labour-intensive production processes, development of vertically integrated structures and the creation of cooperatives for the sale of vegetables, strengthening state support for innovation and investment activities of commodity producers.
