Results - issues of innovative transformation and use of digital platforms to achieve high efficiency of agro-industrial production and its structural transformations, overcoming challenges and risks that pose threat to the country's agro-industrial complex were studied. Methodological approaches to managing innovation processes are considered, main reasons hindering the achievement of high results in the republic’s agriculture and building its potential are shown: low technical equipment, inefficient use of natural resources, in particular land and water, lack of the necessary system for storage, transportation and sale of products, unattractiveness of this area for investment. Conclusions - analysis of world practice shows that in the context of transition to innovative path of development of agricultural sector, regulatory role of the state, designed to ensure technological progress, increases and becomes a key factor responsible for developing a strategy for creating mechanisms for its implementation and financial support, and formation of a new type of economy.
