Abstract: Healthy nutrition cannot be provided without sustainable development of the fruit and vegetable sector. The category "sustainability" is used to determine the ability of the system to maintain its current state under the influence of external influences, and "sustainable development" defines the process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investment, the orientation of technological development and institutional changes are consistent with current and future needs. In this aspect, the sustainable development of the fruit and vegetable branch of agriculture should be viewed through the prism of the entire commodity chain, from production to consumption, and taking into account political, economic, social, demographic and environmental aspects. Sustainability implies stability not only in the production of total volumes of fruits and vegetables, but also such indicators as production and consumption per capita, i.e. a simple increase in the physical volume of production of vegetables and fruits should correspond to qualitative growth.
