Abstract

The commitment to digital economics is one of the prior directions of Russian development. Russia focuses on the introduction of digital technologies into economic activity of the country. Full gradual work on the introduction of digital economy in the spheres of national economy will become the platform for providing the country with long-term opportunities [1]. The digitalization of the agriculture becomes especially significant for the economics of the country. The growing population of Earth will lead to the growth of demand for the agricultural production. So, on the forecast of the United Nations Organization, by 2025 the production of food will have to be raised by 70%. The domestic agrarian science faces the task of the growth of production rate and competitive ability on the basis of use of the newest scientific achievements and advanced experience [2]. The society needs new agrarian economy, based on the use of modern information technologies, corresponding to the principles of stable development of economics. The increase of agricultural production efficiency, the decrease of production process prime cost, the formation of new knowledge-intensive industries, the improvement of the staff of agricultural enterprises, the growth of income in the country and the increase of export of agricultural production are the main aims of the «Digital agriculture». The current level of digitalization of domestic agriculture causes deep concern. The lack of scientific-practical knowledge on the modern innovative agro-technologies, the absence of the system of global forecast in the sphere, the immaturity of logistic system, storage and delivery all result in high costs of production. Moreover, few agricultural producers can afford to buy new equipment, use of IT-equipment and platforms. The efficiency of introduction of innovative technologies into the sphere depends, most of all, on the support and initiatives of the government. The formation of innovative, scientific-technological and competitive economics is quite a costly and long-term process. The experience of the developed countries shows that promotion to «Industry 4.0» demands significant enlargement of the scale and directions of the development of the newest information-communication technologies, «digitalization» and robotization
