In this study, the developments in global and Turkish vegetable production were examined during the period of 1980-2021, and the position and importance of Türkiye in vegetable production was emphasized. The study covers 22 vegetable species which were important in terms of production potential. Significant increases in vegetable production area and quantity have been observed globally and in Türkiye throughout the period. Increases in vegetable production have also been observed in Türkiye with the increase in productivity. In Türkiye, except for some species, the vegetable yield was above the global average. Türkiye is an important producer country in terms of vegetable production, particularly for vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, beans, lettuce, cabbage, zucchini, leeks, spinach, onions, and garlic. Therefore, it is recommended to implement proposals to increase producer income and productivity in vegetable production in Türkiye.
