The development of domestic selection and seed production of vegetable crops forms one of the important foundations of the country’s food security. In recent years, domestic seed production of vegetable crops has seriously deteriorated its position against the backdrop of a significant increase in the import of foreign seeds. The failure of the state policy of seed production of the entire industry on the part of the responsible departments and services of the country is obvious. Today, selection, seed production, and vegetable variety testing have turned out to be disorganized, without participation in the processes of trade unions and without clear state regulation of the activities of the existing numerous ones commercial organizations. Ignoring by state (federal and regional) bodies of persistent demands from the professional community of vegetable seed growers to create special seed zones for vegetable crops, provide real support to domestic producers and form a fair and transparent legal framework for the industry – became the starting points that, along with others, led the industry into a state of depression. The entry into force on September 1, 2023 of the Federal Law «On Seed Production» No. 454-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Federal Law «On Seed Production”) and 30 of the 41 by-laws planned for release makes the revival and development of Russian seed production even more uncertain. According to experts, success in these areas can only be achieved with a systematic approach from all interested parties, real systemic support for the industry from federal and regional services and departments, as well as with the consent of private foreign and Russian seed companies to transfer commercial production of vegetable seeds from global zones seed production in special seed production zones, hereinafter referred to as (SSZ), planned for creation on the territory of the country. The purpose of writing this article is to determine the importance of special seed zones, government programs, initiatives of non-state unions, actions of seed market operators and other factors for the implementation of import substitution.
Key words: seed production, selection, vegetable crops, special seed growing zones, legislation.
