Oborin Perm Institute (branch) of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Perm State University, Perm State Agro-Technological University named after Academician D.N. Pryanishnikov Perm, Рussia [email protected] Abstract — Modern agriculture is one of the priority sectors Vasilyev E.V. [1; 2], Shalavina E.V. [1], Ivanova S.V. [3], contributing to the strategic development of the country in the Ilyasov O.R., Neverova O.P., Pechura E.V. [4]. The following directions: increase in food security, sustained growth importance of innovations for agriculture, the financial and of agrarian territories and severe socio-economic situation, staff support for its proper implementation are the primary providing high standard of living on the periphery. Digital factors for economic and production feasibility. technologies promote attainment of these purposes and tasks, promoting adaptation of the industry to the complicated external An integrated approach to production, economic and conditions concerned with geopolitical and macroeconomic environmental efficiency is noted by the following authors: factors. The problem is in the severe climatic conditions of Buklagin D. of Page [5]; Komlatsky V.I. [6]; Lebedeva O.I., formation of agricultural production of many regions, the Gafiyatov I.Z. [7]. The authors focus their attention on demand for innovations and evidence-based approach to increase commercial results and increase in productivity, noting that crops yield of the state subjects which take the leading positions the congestion of soil with supplements and fertilizers should in agricultural production, such as Krasnodar Krai. not affect ecology and quality of consumer products. The research objective is the identification of the perspective According to some authors, the introduction of innovations directions of agriculture development of Krasnodar Krai on the and digital technologies is mainly a problem of the basis of digital technologies, the assessment of possible effect of their introduction in a production cycle. management efficiency at region and branch subjects levels Methods: modeling of social and economic processes, system and [8]. Parameters of high-quality management are connected situational approaches. with professional competence and production-specific Use of digital technologies in agriculture of Russia and the knowledge, technological feasibility, assessment of Krasnodar Krai in particular contributes to the growth of consequences of production cycle changes with respect to its profitability due to reduction and optimization of labor costs and effect on labor productivity, processes profitability and cost optimum distribution of resources. Achieved results positively reduction. affect competitiveness of agricultural products, increase Foreign studies can be divided into three main directions. productivity and rational environmental management. The first one is concerned with application of new agricultural technologies of developing countries, as well as areas with a Keywords — digital technologies, innovative technologies, severe socioeconomic status yet favorable natural and climatic availability, agriculture, crop production, potential, programs, conditions for the production of the respective industries. The efficiency studies point out the existence of specific business conditions, government support, rapid growth rates. I. INTRODUCTION The substantial role of digital technologies in the Modern agriculture is one of the priority sectors supported development of the agro-industrial complex and agriculture is by the state. Regions of Russia possess differentiated potential noted: workspace automation, increase in labor productivity, for formation of agricultural branches concerned with marketing opportunities, production efficiency and the climatic, socio-economic and technological factors. resource potential optimization. Digital technologies represent new direction of increase in Another group of studies is related to the identification of efficiency of agro-industrial complex and agriculture. opportunities for application of digital technologies with Domestic and foreign researches highlight a number of scopes respect to business scale, forms of business ownership, of innovation in the considered types of activities. including small farming, which form the mainstay of Many scientists rightfully consider the development of agricultural economy of developed and developing countries. environmentally friendly agriculture, creation of enterprises II. MATERIALS AND METHODS (MODEL) and processing complexes based on the "green economy" principles: Bryukhanov A.Yu. [1], Kozlova N.P. [1; 2], Research methods: system and situational approaches, modeling of social and economic processes. Copyright © 2019, the Authors. Published by Atlantis Press.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION rationalization of agrotechnological techniques. However, The interest to introduction and assessment of the their potential has almost been exhausted, thus making the effectiveness of innovative technologies in agriculture and pace of application of digital technologies and innovations agro-industrial complex is associated with the growth of based on a program-oriented approach at federal and regional commercial and production results, as well as with new levels of prospects and technologies consistently increasing. opportunities associated with the implementation of Table. 1 presents certain types of technologies that have accelerated import substitution models. Both traditional and already been introduced in the production process of new technologies ensure the achievement of high results, agriculture in the regions of Russia. contribute to the actualization of reserves for increasing labor productivity and production. The introduction of changes in TABLE 1 INNOVATIVE AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES IN production and management technologies of agriculture REGIONS OF RUSSIA [3] should be affordable, which is achieved when a certain set of Destination (Russia & Application Effect criteria is met (Fig. 1). worldwide) Availability of innovation technology in agriculture Bioprocessing of organic raw materials (manure, litter, peat, etc.) at agricultural enterprises into environmentally friendly highly effective organic fertilizers with specified properties Results Criteria Factors Russia: 22 federal, 43 Crop 2-3 fold energy consumption agricultural enterprises cultivation reduction, 25-50% increase Reduction of defects, Profitability in crop yield vs. traditional Technical outage, work time increase up to 35% organic fertilizers Programmed harvesting using elements of precision agriculture Worldwide: USA, EU, Crop 25-40% cost reduction, 25- Reduction of Profit increase by Brazil. Russia: Central production 30% yield increase, 20-25% Economical expenses 25-25% Federal district, North- production profit increase Western Federal district, Pollution reduction MPC reduction by Ecological Southern Federal district 10-15% Online and offline differentiated introduction of agrochemicals Increase of Worldwide: USA, EU. Crop 25-40% expenditures Personnel productivity Russia: Central Federal production reduction, 25-30% district, North-Western production yield, 20-25% Federal district, Southern production profit increase Reference technology criteria: maximum economic efficiency, ecologic Federal district, Amur efficiency, maximum production efficiency, minimum expenses region, Western Siberia region Fig. 1. Parameters of accessibility of innovative technology for Biotechnology of potato cultivation introduction into the production cycle (author’s compilation) Russia: Amur region Potato cultivation The technical accessibility means that the technology Resource-saving technology of primary tillage in crops cultivation complies with the norms and standards of industrial safety for Russia: West Siberian Plant 27-55% expenditures region cultivation reduction, 31-79% humans and environment, and there are no conflicts with the productivity increase, 20- equipment that is used in production process. 56% fuel and lubricant The economic feasibility is determined by several consumption reduction, 10- significant factors: cost reduction, growth of profit indicators 79% labor cost reduction and profitability of the main production directions.
