Abstract
The article defines the current level of digitalisation in agriculture in Ukraine and in the world in the context of the global trend towards digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex. The article analyses the indicators of digitalisation of the agricultural sector by regions of the world, highlights the advantages and problems of digital technologies implementation, and identifies prospects for further development of the industry. Detailed information is provided on the need for and economic importance of digitalisation of the agro-industrial complex, in particular in the context of losses and structural transformations caused by a full-scale military invasion. The key technologies of digital transformation, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, big data, blockchain, robotics, drones and nanotechnology, are considered from the perspective of their practical application in agricultural production, food and processing industries. The author substantiates the impact of digitalisation on the transformation of management functions and decision-making algorithms in digital agricultural production. It is established that the use of digital technologies in the agro-industrial complex is a competitive advantage both in the development of production processes and in improving the efficiency of industry management. The author emphasises that in wartime, digitalisation is gaining strategic importance as a tool for restoring and adapting the industry. Thanks to digital transformation, the agricultural sector is becoming high-tech and competitive not only at the national but also at the international level.
