To the question of a digital transformation in the agro-industrial complex: difficulties and perspectives

The relevance and perspective of the research is caused by the formation of a complete strategy for the use and widespread dissemination of digital ecosystems in the agro-industrial complex. The article considered the difficulties and perspectives of digital ecosystems in the agricultural production. Particular attention is paid to the essence and opportunities for manufacturers in the digital ecosystem in the value chain. In agriculture there is a demand for end-to-end solutions that have specific advantages in the automated solutions for digital platforms. For example, a decrease in the resource costs, a decrease in the cost of final products, the possibility of reducing the problem of bureaucratization in obtaining state support and tax benefits, reduction of time costs when making decisions in managing an agricultural organization and agricultural production, and others. Digital ecosystems of agricultural production allow, within the value chain, to create complex highly automated production and logistics chains, covering wholesale and retail trading companies, agricultural producers and their suppliers in a single process with adaptive management Digital ecosystems are perspective directions of digital transformation not only for agricultural holdings but also for an average small agricultural producer. The potential for digital transformation and the creation of digital ecosystems for the agro-industrial complex is innovative. The reason for this is a high level of control in the value chain and decision-making in a high-risk form of production. As a result of the study, the use of digital ecosystems can transform traditional agricultural organizations into a new type of organization. This increases the profitability of agriculture, the investment attractiveness of the agro-industrial complex, employment of the rural population, the level of development of rural areas.
