Abstract: The article considers the size and types of state support for horticulture, its results, the economic efficiency of fruit production and substantiates the directions for the further development of the industry in the Tambov region. Budget support for horticulture in agricultural organizations and farms in the region increased sharply, which made it possible to increase the production of fruits and berries in them by 4.3 thousand tons, or 37.1%. In households that did not receive state support, their production declined by 3.3 thousand tons, or 12.4%. The rate of increase in state support for horticulture was significantly higher than the rate of increase in gross fruit harvest, which indicates an irrational use of budgetary funds. The yield of laid intensive gardens is at a low level. The achieved level of economic efficiency of fruit production does not allow extended reproduction, and, therefore, does not contribute to increasing the investment attractiveness of the industry. Further development of horticulture in the region will be facilitated by improving state support for the industry, strengthening the base for storing fruits in places of their production, while compensating for part of the costs incurred for the construction of fruit storage facilities, concentrating fruit production in specialized farms, creating consumer cooperatives that will be engaged in harvesting, processing and selling fruit and berry products.
