Abstract

Digital solutions are increasingly infiltrating all segments of agriculture. To achieve profitability growth, agribusiness is extremely important to maximize the use of innovative technologies. Today is the time when intelligent digital solutions should help the agricultural industry cope with the problems of increasing productivity and sustainable development. In the article, the author considers the peculiarities of the functioning of the agro-industrial complex in the digital economy, within the framework of the article the Largest participants in the agro-industrial complex market, who combined efforts to digitalize agriculture, were considered. It was established that agro-industrial enterprises are mainly digitalized at their own expense, which is a consequence of the “lack” of support tools, and the result is an insufficient level of implementation of technologies and platform solutions in the agro-industrial complex as a whole. The factors that restrain the digitalization of the agro-industrial complex today are financing, infrastructure, and personnel. At the same time, there are a lot of federal support measures, it is necessary to analyze them again, first of all, at the regional level, and understand why they are not so actively used by entrepreneurs, SMEs, and, if necessary, form proposals for adjustment together with the business and expert community.
