This research work is a synthetic view of present status of vegetable production in India and their effect on human nutrition. Food production is increasing so it is essential to sustain increased production to meet the nutritional standard of people. To enhance the vegetable productivity by using new innovative method and technology is best alternate to sustain the food security. On the basis of earlier research, it has been studied that vegetables gave four to ten time’s higher yield as compared to cereal crop. During 2015-16, it has been observed that total vegetable production in country was 166.6 MT with 9.6 M ha area while average productivity remained 17.4 t/ha. Vegetables constitute about 59% of total horticulture production. During the period (2007-08 to 2015-16), area and production of vegetables increased by 22% and 29% respectively. Vegetable production in the country, have led to increase per capita availability of vegetables from 264 gm/ person/day in 2004-05 to 355 gm/person/day in 2015-16. India has first rank in pea (Pisum sativum) and okra (Abelmoscus esculentus) production while 2nd rank in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) potato (Solanum tuberosum) onion (Allium cepa) and brinjal (Solanum melongena) During 2015-16, total vegetables exported from India was of INR 4,866.91 crores and the major importers of Indian vegetables are UAE, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Netherland, Sri Lanka, Nepal, UK, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, accounting for around 55% of the total vegetable exports. Vegetable production with area under production, total production and productivity of vegetable crops of the country has been gradually increasing from 1991-92 to 2014-15. It is mainly due to an increase in area under production and larger increase in productivity with farmers' positive approach towards vegetable cultivation. During this period, the area under horticulture crops grew by about 2.7 percent per annum, productivity increased by 37 per cent between 2004-05 and 2014- 15. As a result, India has maintained its second rank in the global production of vegetables after china.
