ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF RUSSIAN AGRICULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF A PHASED TRANSITION

The purpose of the study is to determine the methodology for assessing the stages of digital transformation of agriculture in Russia. In this study, part of the work was carried out on the formation of criteria for assigning indicators to a specific stage and considering actions in the process of their assessment. The article is theoretical in nature. The methodological basis of the study is the process and system approaches. The scientific novelty lies in the substantiation of the assessment of the stages of digital transformation of agriculture in Russia and the need to introduce an integral indicator calculated on the basis of consistent aggregation of indicators for assessing each stage and necessary for constant monitoring of transformations in the industry and the formation of recommendations to achieve the maximum percentage of productivity increase through the introduction of digital technologies.
It is revealed that the existing assessment of the level of digital maturity according to the methodology for calculating the target indicator «Achievement of «Digital Maturity» of the agricultural sector characterizes only partially the stages of informatization and digitization proposed by the author. To solve this problem, an integrated and systematic approach is proposed, implying coverage of all stages of digital transformation: from specification (setting goals and objectives for digital transformation) to decision-making based on digital data and changes in business processes within a single digital ecosystem. Based on this approach, a methodology should be developed for assessing the stages of digital transformation of agriculture in Russia, the results of which will make it possible to understand at what level of digital transformation the industry as a whole or an individual farm is at the date of assessment.
