Abstract: The horticulture industry in Russia, despite the state support, still does not provide the level of production that would ensure the fulfillment of food security indicators. There are many reasons for this: reduction of areas of perennial plantations, lack of intensive perennial plantations in the required number, imperfection and violation of the technological process of fruit and berry crops cultivation, lack of personnel with the necessary level of competence. It is necessary to note the widespread reduction of areas under fruit and berry crops, but at the same time due to new intensive perennial plantations, which are used only by large producers, there is a significant increase in gross yields. However, due to limited resources, medium and small horticultural organizations cannot use in their technological process modern science-based methods of increasing the yield and quality characteristics of fruit plantations. All this indicates the need to revise the current policy of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia concerning the development of horticulture. At the same time, not only the used instruments of state support of agricultural producers, but also the need to involve the scientific community in solving the problem of varietal composition and violation of the technological process of fruit growing require revision. The solution of these problems can ensure the development of domestic horticulture, based on the transition of the industry to an intensive path of development.
