Digitalization as a key factor in the development of the regional agricultural sector

Abstract

Modern realities of sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex require new trends and tools. The article considers digital technologies as one of the key parameters for the development of the agricultural sector of the economy in increasing production efficiency. The greatest emphasis is placed on the formation of territorial - innovative models of the agrarian sector of the republic’s economy, considering the growth of the gross domestic product, but at this time, the agrarian sector is not technologically modernized enough for the development of these platforms. First of all, it is necessary to resolve the issues of staffing with highly qualified specialists, which will allow to deploy digital technologies and reduce costs by 23%, since the average cost savings in land use using GPS navigation technologies is 11-14%, with differentiated fertilization - 8-12%. In addition to the growth of economic components, this development path ensures the environmental safety of agricultural production.
