s for the level of digitalization, as Alexandra Iskhizowa noted, the Russian agricultural sector has overtaken construction. At the same time, according to her data, only 20% of agricultural companies have a high level of digitalization and 29% have an average level, while the rest, primarily small and medium-sized ones, have a low level, as a result of which there remains a noticeable lag behind world leaders - Germany, Israel, France. In her opinion, the restraining factor is the high level of investment: the average cost of a project is about 200 million rubles, and the payback period is about five years. On the other hand, according to Alexandra Iskhizowa, an insufficiently high level of digitalization is the basis for further growth.

project office in Ufa, is somewhat morocco whatsapp number database more optimistic: according to his estimates, the average payback period is usually three to four years, although he agreed that one cannot count on a quick effect from digitalization. And in general, referring to practical experience, he called the search for sources of financing the most difficult stage of the project. Dmitry Gabbasov named the active use of a platform approach as one of the ways to reduce the cost of the project, which is shown by the experience tested in Bashkiria, where standardized platforms oriented towards different types of production are actively used.

The head of OOO "KH Barabinskoye" Fedor Yaroslavtsev, where two robotic farms for 300 heads of cattle each have already been launched, estimated the savings on feed alone at 15-20%. Also, according to him, due to increased labor productivity, the need for personnel, of which there is a severe shortage in the industry, is reduced.

Director of Agrofirma Irbitskaya LLC Ildar Sufiyarov, along with increasing labor productivity, named the main tasks of digitalization as strengthening control, primarily over compliance with technological processes, as well as monitoring agricultural machinery using geolocation systems. At the same time, he called the primary task precisely the digitalization of crop production, rather than livestock farming: "First of all, it is necessary to prepare high-quality feed, and then deal with increasing the productivity of the herd."

Vladimir Lednev, Deputy Director of CJSC Plemzavod Yubileiny for plant growing, said that without using agricultural machinery and transport monitoring technologies, it is impossible to solve the control task, at least in a large farm or holding. He also spoke about the start of a pilot project for the introduction of differentiated seed, fertilizer and plant protection products technologies, which is being implemented on 5,000 hectares.

The main difficulties in the course of projects are the shortage of personnel and the lack of platforms for exchanging experience. According to Dmitry Gabbasov, the shortage of personnel is aggravated by the fact that it is difficult to find a specialist who has competencies not only in the field of IT, but also in agricultural production, and this knowledge must be quite deep, and such employees are literally few and far between. According to him, the salaries of such specialists have doubled in a year.

As for the difficulties of exchanging experience, the situation is not entirely clear. On the one hand, as Fedor Yaroslavtsev noted, leading enterprises are quite willing to share experience, but on the other hand, the specifics of the industry, according to the general opinion of the participants in the discussion, are such that replicating successful practices is difficult to apply: what works well in the Krasnodar Territory will not be successful in the Sverdlovsk Region.
