Results. The current state of carrot production in Ukraine was considered. The share of this crop was determined in the total acreage and gross production of vegetables, the data on the location of carrot production in the climatic zones of Ukraine and separate categories of farms. The general strategy and priority directions of scientific support of carrot production for the future were outlined. The reasons that hindered the effective development of this segment of the vegetable market were identified. But they are: the use of outdated technologies and the practical lack of innovation; insufficient number of necessary capacities for refining, packing, freezing, storage; lack of professional branding and efficient infrastructure, low agrologistics development, non-compliance of domestic vegetable products with European standards. Conclusions. Further development of carrots production in Ukraine will have to be directed on the way of organization of their highly intensive production on the basis of introduction of modern production technologies and new high-performance, technological varieties and hybrids, which will have high nutritional indicators that will meet processing requirements. Increasing the efficiency of carrot production will allow to receive vegetable products in quantities and assortment, which are determined by scientifically-based consumption standards on the basis of socio-economic and innovation-investment development taking into account the advanced achievements of science and technology and advanced achievements of science and technology, increase of high-quality production vegetable production, its processing, storage and sale. At the same time, in the future, it will be necessary to re-equip the vegetable industry, the development of information support systems, the creation of marketing services and the further development of market infrastructure.
