Abstract

This article discusses current issues related to the digital economy development in modern market conditions. Digitalization processes are being actively implemented and invested in practically all sectors of the market, but the agricultural sector is not yet covered in the necessary volume. There are several numbers of activities related to the digitalization of the agricultural process that are aimed at analyzing the investment area within the development of agriculture. Food provision is considered as the most valuable point for the Russian Federation. According to this study results, the current trends of “smart territories” and active digitalization of processes determine the development of agriculture in the framework of ensuring the transparency and comfort of the market in terms of minimizing costs, taking into account opinions of consumers and manufacturers. However, the development of these processes cannot reveal the main problem in the implementation of the Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation at this stage, which is the price disparity between agricultural and industrial products. This inequality is especially noticeable within the production and sale of milk and dairy products. To a large extent, the urgency of this problem continues to exist because milk and dairy products are the only points of the Doctrine on which food security is not yet ensured. The results of this study indicate that the state needs to meet the needs of agricultural enterprises not only in the form of subsidies, but also in the form of investments in digitalization of processes and production facilities.
