It is noted that further development of vine-winemaking branch, the fruit growing and the canning industry has to develop on the basis of the innovative technologies directed to increase in competitiveness of production and her integration into domestic and foreign markets. In this regard the attention to necessity of carrying out of some structural changes in the considered branches, the development of innovative technologies and their introduction in the production is accented. On the basis of generalization of production experience and scientific research of the last years in the Republic of Daghestan, the main ways of further development and increase in competitiveness of production of priority branches - wine growing and fruit growing are shown and proved. It is especially noted that considerable theoretical and practical interest, in respect of increase in the competitiveness of production, is represented by studying, preservation and use of a local gene pool of grapes and fruit crops, and also an introduction in the Republic of promising new varieties with complex stability. The multiprogramme breeding work on creation of new high-quality grapes varieties with use as parental forms of separate high-valuable local Daghestan varieties is carried out. It is shown that further development of wine growing and fruit growing in the Republic of Daghestan will be mainly implemented on the principles of ecological and adaptive agriculture which provides the development and introduction in the production process of power and resource-saving technologies and biologization and greening cultivation of grapes and fruit crops. The closer collaboration of scientific institutions and manufacturing enterprises is necessary for successful realization of these tasks.
