Abstract

The relevance of this research is due to the required digital modernization of agro-industial complex (AIC) that will significantly increase production efficiency, product quality and competitiveness, as well as labor productivity in comparison with traditional economy management. The objective of this paper was the analysis of key factors of digitalization and overview of the results of the implementation of digital technologies by Russian enterprises in order to define the directions of innovative changes in production process at AIC enterprises. Achieving the goal of this study is based on a comparative analysis of digitalization factors proposed by experts in this field, in order to find the key ones contributing to the formation of an innovative infrastructure and to determine the conditions and results of digitalization at agricultural enterprises. Methodological framework of this study includes the combination of comparative and statistical analysis. A comparative analysis of digitalization factors was performed; key areas of innovative development of the agricultural sector were identified; the overview of the implementation of digitalization technologies by Russian enterprises was given; the impact of digitalization on the development of enterprises and national economy was estimated; solutions were proposed that were required to stimulate the innovative changes in production process at agricultural enterprises. Digital transformation of Russian agriculture is just starting to gain pace, so it is impossible to say what the industry will look like, for example, in 15–20 years. At the moment, it is obvious that the effect of the digital transformation of the industry is “piecewise”, fragmented. Large companies definitely have greater digitalization potential, and yet, focus on the development of Russian agriculture based on digital technologies has no alternative variant.
