Abstract: The relevance of the analysis of indicators characterizing the processes of digitalization in the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation is determined by the significance of these processes, confirmed by the need to ensure the country's food security, increase competitiveness in international markets, optimize the use of resources, attract investment, implement government policy, and develop rural areas. It was found that in 2021-2023, there was a decrease in internal costs (by 13,1%) and an increase in external costs (by 68,8%) of agricultural organizations for the introduction and use of digital technologies and related goods and services. Such multidirectional trends indicate: the presence of a mature market for digital products and services; trends towards IT outsourcing; the transition to cloud services and Soft as a Service models. There is a low level of digitalization costs in agriculture compared to other types of economic activity, which reduces the competitiveness of enterprises, increases costs, and decreases productivity. There is significant potential to increase the number of organizations with access to high-speed Internet. There is an uneven distribution of organizations by Internet connection speed categories. In the field of agricultural digitalization, there is an insufficient number of specialized ICT specialists. There is a tendency to increase the proportion of specialists using ICT in their activities. It is necessary to strengthen measures for the training and involvement of specialized specialists, as well as the development of retraining programs for specialists in other fields. As measures to improve the current situation, it is proposed to: develop a clear digitalization strategy; select reliable suppliers of digital solutions; develop their own IT competencies, which will effectively manage external suppliers and integrate digital technologies; ensure reliable data protection.
