Abstract: Based on the analysis, the article reveals a significant dependence of the consumption of fruits and berries in the Russia on import supplies. Significant increase in production for 2011-2021 contributed to a slight decrease in import volumes. However, it is noted that domestic production volumes of fruit and berry products still do not cover the actual and rational consumption of the population. During the research process, a structure of fruit producers in the Russia was compiled, the main producers were identified, and their contribution to all-Russian production was indicated. The structure of production of fruits and berries by their types (pome fruits, stone fruits, berries, grapes) is considered, and their main producers are identified. The analysis identified leading manufacturers in the Central Federal District. The study established an increase in fruit consumption in the Russia for the period 2011-2021. At the same time, there is a significant differentiation in the consumption of fruit and berry products across the regions of the Central Federal District. Calculations have established an insufficient level of self-sufficiency in fruits throughout the country in comparison with the established criterion in the Doctrine of Food Security of the Russia, a low degree of saturation, a high share of imports in the product supply, a negative import-export balance. All this justifies the need to find ways to improve the performance of the fruit and berry market.
