Abstract

The paper examines the problem of the digitalization of the agricultural sector in Russia in terms of improving the efficiency of agricultural production and the living standards of the rural population. This is objectively important due to the need to strengthen production and export potential in the new conditions of the current geo-economic and geopolitical reality. The paper reflects the role of digital technologies in developing agricultural production in economically developed countries. Analyzing the process of digitalization in the agricultural sector, it is noted that with their implementation and use due to the accuracy, timeliness, and efficiency of the relevant technological operations, their automation and the formation of new management capabilities increase the productivity and efficiency of agriculture in general and individual enterprises in particular. It was found that in terms of the development of digital technologies for their subsequent use in the agricultural sector and their practical application, Russia is still behind the USA and many advanced countries in Europe and Asia. To improve the situation in terms of increasing the potential of Russia’s agricultural sector and improving living conditions in rural areas, the Government of the Russian Federation and authorized ministries have developed and launched the National Project “Digital economy of the Russian Federation” (in 2018) and the program “Digital agriculture” (in 2019). The total volume of budget financing under these two documents for seven years (from 2018 to 2024) amounts to 1934.9 billion rubles. It is envisaged that 300 billion rubles will be allocated to the agro-industrial complex of Russia during 2019–2024. It is planned that as a result of such financing, by 2025, the increase in agricultural production will amount to 16.3% as compared with 2017, its export will reach a volume of $45 billion, and investments in agriculture will grow by 22%.
