Abstract

The article explores important aspects of agricultural development in modern conditions, with a particular focus on the implementation of digital technologies and the optimization of logistics processes. It also discusses the key challenges facing the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan, including inefficiency of the logistics system, insufficient use of digital tools and technologies, as well as a high dependence on external factors. The authors paid special attention to government programs and projects aimed at supporting the agro-industrial complex in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study analyzed the experience of other countries in the use of digital tools and logistics in agriculture and formulated recommendations to improve the situation in Kazakhstan. The main focus is on the need to integrate modern digital solutions and logistics strategies adapted to the specifics of the Kazakh agro-industrial complex in order to increase production efficiency and reduce costs. In addition, as one of the main problems in the field of digitalization of the agro-industrial complex, the article draws special attention to the importance of education and training in the field of digital technologies and logistics for effective adaptation of the agricultural sector to the constantly changing conditions of the external environment. As a result of the analysis, certain steps and recommendations are proposed for the development of agriculture in Kazakhstan taking into account digitalization and logistics, which contributes to improving its competitiveness and resilience to change.
