Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to assess the current state of Russia’s agricultural sectors in the context of restrictive sanctions and food embargo. The attention has been focused on the need to intensify the production of agricultural raw materials for domestic consumption and export to the world market; and the low efficiency of the main branches of the agroindustrial complex in Russia has been noted. The experience of developed countries evidences that the implementation of advanced information technologies into traditional business processes makes it possible to increase the profitability of agricultural sectors. The development of electronic technologies, implementation of automated data collection devices and processing of the results obtained contribute to the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept in the transition to an information society.
In order to assess the prospects of the transformation for agriculture in Russia, the article has analyzed the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture for 2017–2025 developed and being implemented.
Methodology: The study presented in the article was conducted using the generalization and analog methods, statistical and graphical analysis, vertical and horizontal analysis and methods of data comparison and collation.
Results: Evaluation of the implemented program of scientific and technological development of agriculture in Russia has shown that today 3 activities are being financed, i.e., the creation of scientific and technical results and products; implementation of scientific and technical results and products into production; and commoditization of scientific and technological results and products. Based on these areas, the main trends of scientific and technological development of agriculture have been identified. They are “smart farm,” “smart greenhouse” and “smart field.” The introduction of these trends into the practice of agricultural organizations will enable meeting the basic needs of the domestic food market and increasing the volume of exported agricultural products.
Recommendations: The trends identified in studying the sectoral technological development of the national economy provide an opportunity to increase profitability and intensify the initiative to create “smart enterprises” in the agricultural sector.
