DIGITALIZATION IN AGRICULTURE AS A DRIVER OF INDUSTRY GROWTH

In recent years, the transition to the digital economy (platform, gig-economy, it-economy) has been actively developing all over the world. The article analyzes the effectiveness of the use of digitalization by foreign countries, shows the contribution of the digital economy to the GDP of countries, as well as provides an overview of changes in the legal field and in the manufacturing sector, aimed at digitalization of the industry. For the transition to the digital economy, regulatory documents have been prepared, and each state program plans to create a separate section on the development of the digital economy. According to analysts, digital transformation is one of the main factors of global economic growth, and the digitalization of the economy in the Russian Federation will increase GDP by a third by 2025. Digitalization of agriculture will increase production, improve the quality and safety of food products. Blockchain technology will track the entire history of each product, and smart contracts will simplify access to the international market for small and medium-sized agricultural producers. Due to the absence (maximum reduction) of the number of intermediaries, consumer prices for products will decrease, and the price of producers, on the contrary, will increase. By 2024, it is planned to increase productivity growth by 2 times in the "digital" agricultural enterprises. All this will be achieved due to lower production costs, higher yields, increased gross margin, expansion of the market, attracting highly qualified specialists and investors in the agricultural sector. As a result of the project, a significant multiplier effect is expected in other areas, which will improve the economic performance of the country as a whole.
