Abstract

The agrarian complex of Russia in modern times is a steadily developing sector of the economy. The priorities of the scientific and technical development of the agro-industrial complex have become the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture (FSTP). The program implementation period is from January 01, 2017 to December 31, 2025. At the heart of the program, the main tasks are the promotion of innovations in agriculture, the training of personnel for work in rural areas, the development of selection and seed production and other areas. The program also set tasks to increase the competitiveness of domestic agricultural enterprises and reduce dependence on foreign companies. Two areas of the program are already - actively developing seed and potato breeding and sugar beet production.Agriculture is becoming a more competitive industry with the introduction of new digitalization and automation. These transformations also affect the higher wage growth of agricultural workers, since a modern agricultural worker is a specialist who is able to apply new technologies in his work experience and is able to manage new equipment. The use of new advanced machines and robots speeds up the harvesting process, and new bio-engineering helps to improve the level of development of crops and monitor their growth in real time. Computer technology helps to control weather conditions and avoid crop losses.Digitalization in agriculture is currently a new technology that increases the volume and quality of products, as well as reduce its cost. Information technology is an integral part of modern agricultural production and helps turn backward agriculture into a competitive sector of the economy.
