Abstract
In 2022, Russia’s vegetable production was dominated by cabbage, with 2.3Mt harvested. Historically, Russia has seen steady increases in vegetable production, with cabbage consistently leading due to its adaptability to local climates. Potatoes also play a significant role, though their production has shown fluctuations. Tomatoes, primarily used for processing, have seen steady growth in recent years. The rise in greenhouse farming has boosted the yield of tomatoes, while land use for vegetables like carrots and onions has remained stable, reflecting a balanced agricultural focus on both staple and industrial crops.
Production (by vegetables)
Russia’s vegetable production has experienced notable shifts from 1992 to 2022. Cabbage, the largest contributor, peaked at 3.6Mt in 2015 but has since decreased to 63.8% of its peak, reflecting a decline in its share of total production. This drop could be linked to changes in consumer preferences, climate conditions, and agricultural practices. Despite this, cabbage remains a staple in Russian agriculture, maintaining its position as the leading vegetable. Other vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, have also seen fluctuating trends, with varying land use and yields adapting to market and environmental changes over time.
The maximum is 5.24Mt[2014] of Domestic_supply, and the current value is about 83.3%
Yield(by vegetable)
From 1992 to 2022, cucumber production in Russia has shown remarkable improvement, with 2022 reaching a peak of 44.8t/ha, the highest in the period. This achievement highlights significant advancements in agricultural practices, including better cultivation techniques and increased use of greenhouses. Cucumbers have maintained their place as a key vegetable, benefiting from growing domestic demand and a focus on higher yields. The 100% peak achievement in 2022 reflects both technological progress and strategic agricultural investments, positioning cucumbers as a stable and thriving component of Russia’s vegetable production.

Land use (by vegetables)
In 2022, Russia’s vegetable land use reached a peak of 2.65Mt, aligning with the average and total production figures. This consistent level reflects stable agricultural practices and efficient land management for vegetable cultivation. The uniformity in production and land use suggests that Russia has optimized its agricultural strategies to maintain steady output. However, with technological advancements and improved farming methods, there may be potential for further increases in productivity. Overall, the data points to a balanced approach to vegetable farming, ensuring reliable production across key crops.

Tomato usage
In 1992, tomatoes reached their peak domestic supply in Russia at 5.24Mt, marking the highest recorded level. This reflects the strong demand for tomatoes in both fresh consumption and processing. Over the years, domestic tomato production has faced challenges such as shifting agricultural priorities and competition from imports, which impacted supply levels. Despite this, tomatoes remain a key vegetable in Russia, supported by growing greenhouse cultivation to meet domestic needs. Trends indicate an ongoing focus on improving yield and reducing reliance on imports to ensure a stable supply chain for this essential crop.
