Abstract: The purpose of the work is to formulate the main vectors of the development of the world market of vegetable growing, taking into account the main trends, including in relation to consumer preferences. Thus, the world production of vegetables has increased 2.8 times over the past 20 years and in 2020 amounted to 1,250 million tons. A number of factors contributed to such a serious growth, in particular the development of the Asian region, where production growth amounted to about 370% over this period of time. The world vegetable trade, unlike the fruit trade, is based on several types of products, such as garlic and onions, which are transported over long distances, as well as the trade in fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, salads, etc., which is carried out between different climatic zones and is a significant aspect of the saturation of the assortment. Growing fresh vegetables in the open ground is limited in time, which is one of the reasons for the low level of self-sufficiency in both developed and developing countries, so in Central and northern Europe, the self-sufficiency index is equal to 34% in 2020. The main vegetable exporting countries are Spain and the Netherlands with 36% and 35% for fresh vegetables and Italy are mainly tomatoes in processed form. The vegetable market is a very heterogeneous market. Basically, there are big differences between the production of fresh vegetables and the production of raw materials for further production, as well as between cultivation in open and closed ground. It should also be noted that there is an increased global trend towards the consumption of vegetable products, which entails an increase in the growth rate of average per capita consumption of vegetables. The article describes the main global trends in the development of the vegetable market. The main factors influencing the growth and development of this market are considered. The main trends of vegetable consumption regarding the development of the vector "healthy nutrition" are formulated. The main trends in the development of the global vegetable market are presented.
