Abstract

The study asserts that the digitization of the agriculture business is a significant trend that impacts not only economic development but also human progress. Digitalization is defined as the process of turning information into a digital format, and it is a process that influences all aspects of life, bringing about qualitative changes and influencing human development. In Ukraine, where the agricultural sector is the engine of economic development, the digitalization of this sector becomes the most crucial implementation task. On the way to digitalization, Ukrainian agricultural companies have made significant strides, but a large number of problems remain unresolved and constitute potential impediments. Initial focus should be made on combining the use of digital technology with the proper training of all levels of personnel who can operate in the new environment. Then it will be possible to ensure both economic and human development goals are met. To achieve this, government activities on all levels must promote the digitalization of the agriculture economy.
