| Abstract | The article summarizes current trends in the digitalization of agriculture and reveals the tendencies of its development in the practices of domestic agricultural enterprises. It was found that domestic agricultural enterprises have implemented precision farming technologies, IoT, big data, and AI. The factors that slow down the processes of agricultural production digitalization have been systematized, namely: the ongoing war in the country, lack of universal Internet access in remote rural areas, difficulties in forming investment capital by farms, and shortage of highly qualified IT specialists. The necessity of strengthening the effectiveness of state support for agricultural producers is substantiated through partial coverage of the cost of purchased digital technologies and software, provision of subsidies, grants, and tax benefits for the implementation of precision farming, development of rural infrastructure, creation of digital technology training centers for farmers, support of competition in the digital technology market, and promotion of startups for the development and production of digital equipment. The generalization of research results on the implementation of digital technologies in agricultural production allows us to conclude that, in domestic practice, precision farming technologies, IoT, big data, and AI have become widely adopted. It was found that a high level of digitalization is ensured by vertically integrated holding-type companies and innovation-oriented agricultural producers, who actively use widespread digital technologies and gain tangible benefits in terms of increased yields, resource savings, and operational optimization. At the same time, a large portion of small and medium-sized farms have not yet begun implementing these technologies. This situation is caused by a number of negative factors, among which the greatest impact is exerted by the ongoing war in the country, lack of Internet access in rural settlements distant from urban centers, difficulties in forming sufficient investment capital for farms, and the shortage of highly qualified IT personnel. It is believed that the state has begun to create a foundation for the dissemination of digital transformation in agricultural enterprises through the development of legislative initiatives, the establishment of the State Agrarian Register (DAR), orientation toward European standards, as well as the implementation of support tools, including digital services, grants, and integration with EU programs. | ||
