Digital potential of the Russian agro-Industrial complex based on the results of technological innovations

Abstract

The article analyzes the current state of innovation activity and the fundamental features of technological development in the agricultural sector of the economy, identifies barriers and prerequisites for the transition to digital transformation, and demonstrates the results of the introduction of domestic technological innovations. In the context of modern realities, innovations are becoming a fundamental component of the development of the national economy. The process of digitalization for the agro-industrial complex is due to the urgent need to increase the efficiency and sustainability of its functioning through radical transformations of managerial efficiency by technological processes and decision-making processes at all levels of the hierarchical ladder, based on innovative approaches to production and the subsequent application of information data on the state of controlled elements and subsystems and forecasting their potential adjustments, as well as economic conditions in the agricultural sector. The practice of a global scale and the experience of authoritative domestic agricultural producers illustrate that the use of modern technological solutions contributes to ensuring optimal soil, agrotechnical and organizational and territorial conditions, which make it possible throughout the full life cycle of agricultural products to contribute to an increase in yield and labor productivity, reduce material costs for fuels and lubricants (F&L), electricity, plant protection products (PPP), wages and other types of expenses, maintaining soil fertility and preserving the environment. Increasing and stimulating innovative and technological activity in the agro-industrial complex will also increase production volumes, increase the competitiveness of domestic agricultural products, eliminate the problem of import substitution and increase the level of profitability of agricultural enterprises.
