Abstract

Abstract The aim of the article is to assess the directions, pace, and advancement of digital transformation in food industry enterprises in the European Union (EU). The analysis uses statistical data collected in public databases as well as secondary data from the state-of-the-art literature and surveys carried out in enterprises in the sector. Moreover, the Digital Intensity Index developed by Eurostat was used. The progress made by food industry enterprises in terms of digitalization was assessed in terms of their relevance to the prospects of building a more sustainable food system in the EU. The conducted analysis allows to conclude that even though the pace of digitalization in the sector’s enterprises has accelerated in recent years, the level and scope of digital changes is still limited. What is more, large inequalities in the level of digitalization, visible both within the sector itself and between EU Member States, remain a problem. The directions of using digital solutions show that digitalization is seen mainly to increase production efficiency and attract new customers and sales channels. Parallel possibilities to support environmental and climate protection are not yet sufficiently exploited. Given the challenges related to the implementation of the European Green Deal, it is necessary to accelerate and expand the scope of digitalization in EU food industry enterprises.
欧盟食品工业企业数字化进程的进展
摘要本文旨在评估欧盟(EU)食品工业企业数字化转型的方向、步伐和进展。该分析使用了公共数据库中收集的统计数据,以及来自最先进文献和在该部门企业中进行的调查的二手数据。此外,还使用了欧盟统计局开发的数字强度指数。评估了食品工业企业在数字化方面取得的进展,评估了它们与欧盟建立更可持续食品系统前景的相关性。所进行的分析得出的结论是,尽管近年来该行业企业的数字化步伐加快,但数字化变革的水平和范围仍然有限。更重要的是,在行业内部和欧盟成员国之间,数字化水平的巨大不平等仍然是一个问题。使用数字化解决方案的方向表明,数字化主要是为了提高生产效率,吸引新的客户和销售渠道。支持环境和气候保护的并行可能性尚未得到充分利用。鉴于实施《欧洲绿色协议》所面临的挑战,有必要加快并扩大欧盟食品工业企业的数字化范围。
