Digital Technologies in the Agro-Industrial Complex on the Example of the Electronic Platform of Rosselkhozbank svoe-rodnoe.ru

The subject of the study is digital technologies in the sphere of agro-industrial complex on the example of Ecosystem “Svoe” of JSC Rosselkhozbank. The purporse of the work are: analytical assessment of the essence and function of digital technologies in the Russian agricultural industry using economic and statistical methods; identification of the problems that are an obstacle to the introduction of modern technologies; and providing practical recommendations on informing more agro-industrial companies about the resources of the “Svoe’’ ecosystem for their use in their current activities. In recent years, the digitalization processes in the industry have intensified, but not yet reached the required level for more efficient business. In addition, for the most part only large enterprises and agricultural holdings can afford the introduction of innovative products. Big business is ensuring the continuous growth of economic indicators in the industry. Small enterprises digitalization processes due to a lack of financial and human resources are slow. To assist small and medium-sized businesses, the ecosystem “Svoe” of Rosselkhozbank was launched in 2020, which is a high-quality example of the introduction of digitalization in agro-industrial complex. Finally, the conclusions are drawn in relation to the need of state support for digitalization pro­cesses in the agro-industrial sector, both through financial investments in the activities of enterprises and through reforming the educational sphere connected with training, education and retraining of industry representatives using the achievements of scientific and technological progress; participation of the state in the formation of the countryside as an attractive place to live. Some conclusions about the uneven nature of the implementation of digitalization processes at the enterprises of the industry, the need to reform the education system using innovative developments in the training of specialists for agribusiness enterprises, and the inevitability of improving rural areas to attract additional human resources to the industry are drawn. Despite the existence of the “Svoe” ecosystem of Rosselkhozbank for a short time, it is worth noting the huge benefit of the platform in solving many problems of its users.
