The dependence of agricultural producers on foreign technologies still persists. The introduction of digital solutions and equipment of domestic production will significantly increase the pace of the production intensification and the competitiveness of products, since the agricultural complex of the country has high potential. The article presents a study of the impact of innovative digital technologies on the development of agricultural production. The author applied general logical methods, systematization and scientific approaches to the analysis of the formation of the digital economy in the framework of increasing the production efficiency and improving the indicators of the agrarian economy as a whole.
