Abstract: Food security in the vegetable market determines the balanced nutrition of the population and is the basis of its health. The article analyzes the state of food security in the vegetable market, identifies the main vectors of its development: a decrease in import dependence and an increase in the level of consumption. At the same time, the main parameters of domestic vegetable production were determined (production growth by 30.2%), ensuring consumption at the level of rational norms and the level of self-sufficiency provided for by the Food Security Doctrine. Based on the analysis of the gross production of vegetables in the open and protected ground, as well as the level of consumption of vegetables and its structure, proposals were formulated for the further development of vegetable growing in Russia in order to ensure food security. Development is required in both segments of vegetable growing: open ground and protected ground, with the advancing development of the commodity distribution infrastructure. At the same time, attention should be paid to the formation of the effective demand of the population for vegetable products in terms of economic accessibility through the growth of incomes of the population, physical accessibility through the development of market infrastructure while shaping the population's understanding of the importance of vegetables as the basis of a healthy lifestyle.
