The state and main global trends in cherry cultivation (Cerasus vulgaris Mill.) have been studied. The growing popularity of a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition increases the demand for products rich in vitamins and beneficial microelements, among which cherry occupies an important place. Due to its unique properties, in particular the high content of vitamins, bioactive substances and microelements, cherry helps to strengthen health and restore the body after physical exertion. This makes it attractive for both processing and the fresh market. In addition, the possibility of long-term storage due to shock freezing and the expansion of the range of cherry-based products only enhances its importance for the agro-industrial sector. As a result, high demand for cherries stimulates producers to increase the volume of cultivation of this crop, which contributes to its further distribution in the market of fresh and processed products. Cherries are cultivated in almost 40 countries around the world. Ukraine ranks sixth in the world production of cherry fruits in terms of the area of fruit-bearing plantations (18.7 thousand hectares), third in terms of gross harvest (180.2 thousand tons) and first in terms of yield (9.6 tons/hectare). The main directions of development of industrial cherry production in the world are the intensification and improvement of agricultural technologies to stably ensure market demand for its fruits. Given the laboriousness of cherry cultivation, the mechanization of the harvesting process and the appropriate selection of varieties, plantation structures, and technologies for growing this crop are becoming increasingly relevant. Noting the favorable natural and climatic conditions and significant scientific achievements, Ukraine has great potential in cherry cultivation, both to meet domestic needs and to expand export opportunities. The main direction of increasing cherry production is the creation of industrial orchards in specialized horticultural enterprises that have the ability to carry out comprehensive mechanization of the processes of orchard care, harvesting, and fruit processing. In this case, the correct choice of high-yielding varieties and rootstocks, the creation of intensive plantations that ensure early commercial fruiting and high yields with proper agricultural technology are important.
Key words: cherry, world production, yield, intensive plantings, mechanized harvesting, varieties.
