Current state and prospects of vegetable production in Primorsky Krai, Russia

Abstract This article briefly describes the current state and prospects of vegetable production in Primorsky Krai, Russian Federation. Over the past 20 years, the production of vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes, and onion) has increased by 30% in the region. The analysis of the technical operations of cultivation has shown that there are still high labor costs (up to 45% of all manual work) related to planting seedlings in open ground. Therefore, the development of technologies that will allow automating these processes will increase the level of mechanization by 15 – 30%. Moreover, this article aims to provide recent data on vegetable production and prospects, which could be beneficial for scientists, analytical experts, and business entrepreneurs.
