Abstract: The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that, despite the results achieved in recent years in the development of industrial horticulture, Russia continues to maintain a low level of consumption of fruit and berry products, and the processing industry is not fully provided with raw materials. The peculiarities of horticulture development in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District (NCFD) as an important region of industrial horticulture and a significant producer and supplier of domestic fruits to the Russian market are revealed. The analysis of the dynamics of the development of the placement of production, the functioning of agricultural producers and the fruit processing industry is carried out. Trends are constructed that allow approximating the change in areas and gross collections of fruit and berry products over time. Regional problems of effective development of industrial horticulture and fruit processing industry are identified, ways of solving them are identified, which include: strengthening the influence of science, improving the training of qualified personnel, intensification of production and processing industries, development of innovative technologies, increasing investment attractiveness, development of commodity infrastructure, increasing the export orientation of the region for the export of fresh and processed products. The results of this article can be used in the preparation of regional programs, strategies for the development of industrial horticulture and fruit processing industry.
