In the digitization process had already included many Russian agricultural holdings. But it is uneven in segments of agricultural production, says a senior Manager of the group providing services to agricultural enterprises, EY Maxim Nikitochkina. According to him, are the most technologically advanced growers. They have actively introduced ERP system that can accumulate in real time to provide a variety of data for a wide range of users – from agronomists to company owners. Many farms begins the process of digitization with the installation of GPS-tags, sensors on the equipment to monitor and control the level of fuel, sir. The decisions of the FMS (farm management software) keep up the great work – the registry fields and crops, agrokholding, satellite and aerial photos, working with methaodne, monitoring of traffic engineering, works, events, automation weight (at harvest), waybills, precision agriculture (maps of differential fertilizer, pesticides).

According to Maxim Nikitochkina, many modern processing plants, especially meat, are largely automated and applied IT-technology, in particular robots split the carcass with the largest percentage of meat yield. Well is digitalized modern dairy complexes: they use system integrators – milking robots, automated monitoring and herd management. Pig and poultry farmers use automatic generation of optimal animal feeding.

And manufacturers of agricultural machinery to equip its tractors and combines auto-pilot system (GPS/GLONASS), RFID tags, combines yield mapping at harvest, have sensors threshing and evaluation of moisture content of grain, tractors differentially contribute fertilizers and pesticides.

the Digitalization of Russian agricultural producers concentrated in large holdings, recognizes Nikitochkina. So, Miratorg uses herd management, precision farming, Rusagro – management of raw materials, long-term storage, intelligent production system precision agriculture, “the Steppe” – a precision farming system, agrokholding, digital transport platform. However, according to experts, even some of the smaller companies have already declared themselves fully digital enterprises.

Introduction of numbers allows you to increase the profitability of agricultural production, increase yields, says Maxim Nikitochkina. For example, “Rusagro” in 2018, the yield of sunflower and corn has increased by 28% and 12% respectively. “Agroterra” for the year of application technologies (NDVI monitoring, GPS monitoring, laboratory surveys, agrostietum) increased soybean yield by 11.5%, wheat by 6.5%. Assessment Nikitochkina, economic benefit (increase in productivity plus reduced costs) from switching to modern technology can to reach 20 thousand rubles per hectare.

In turn, the state is trying this number to organize. According to the Minister of agriculture Dmitry Patrushev, now the Agency works in three areas: transfer of all state services in electronic form, fee and verification of industry data and quality improvement oversight activities.

to Translate all state services (grants, soft loans, etc.) into electronic form the Ministry of agriculture is planning to 2024. Now in 12 regions acts information system Respak, which can be used to obtain information and to issue different types of state support, and also to submit the statements. For example, in the Altai region in 2018, the entire amount of state subsidies (3.3 billion rubles) were issued using this system.

data collection provides a unified Federal information system for agricultural land.

“In 2020, we will significantly expand the functionality of the system and we expect that over the next 10 years, accumulate data about the properties and soil fertility throughout the country. In addition, next year in all regions will be available to the monitoring system of reclamation, and by 2024, 100% of hydrotechnical facilities will be managed on the basis of the government digital platform,” – said in mid-July Patrushev.

And the digitalization of control and supervision involves the creation and improvement of systems for traceability of agricultural products (such as “mercury”).

In the draft of the National action plan also envisages the creation of a single electronic investment area for agricultural land. Now the information about the composition, structure of ownership, as land is fragmented and sometimes not true. With the help of electronic investment area can be assessed separate areas. A potential investor will be able to get a ready solution on how selhozperepisi the most popular in the region.
