Vegetables are one of the basic products in human nutrition, as they provide nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Also, in addition to their nutritional role, they also have an important economic value, given the high productivity on small areas of land. However, vegetable crops, especially those that are grown in the field, are very vulnerable to certain climatic factors such as extreme temperatures, pedological drought and precipitation. This research was focused on the impact of climate change on vegetable production, with emphasis on the negative effects of temperatures and precipitation on them. At the same time, the analysis carried out in this study underlines the importance of understanding the relationship between climate variability and changes in vegetable production. To carry out the analysis in this paper, the WoS database was queried, from where the scientific works relevant to the studied topic were extracted. For the analysis of the influence of climate change on vegetable production, statistical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics were used, namely the average annual temperature and the amount of precipitation. The research method used to carry out the study was quantitative data analysis, using statistical methods. The results of the study show a moderate correlation between the climatic phenomena analyzed and vegetable production, but emphasize the complexity of the factors influencing production. In addition to climatic factors, other agronomic, economic and technological factors are equally important. In this respect, the adaptation of the vegetable sector to climate change becomes essential to ensure a sustainable agricultural system and food security.
