Abstract: Since the approval of the government program "Digital Economy of Russian Federation", which runs until2035, and the completion of the development in 2018 of industry sub-program ""Digital agriculture", the Ministry ofAgriculture of Russia and the governments of all hierarchical levels have a lot of work to create new managementsystems, whose goal is to move from management "in the fire brigade mode" to management on the basis ofplanningand forecasting risks, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the use of land resources [1]. However, thecurrent level of digitalization of domestic agricultural economy is a serious concern because of the lack of up-sufficiency of the number of IT professionals, the lack of scientific and practical knowledge on innovative agriculturaltechnologies and methodologies, the lack of global forecast on the prices of agricultural products on the world market, undeveloped logistics and other reasons. Only a small number of agricultural producers have the necessary fi-nancial resources to purchase new equipment, use IT technologies and platforms. According to Rosstat in 2017, in-vestments in IT technology in our country amounted to 0.85 billion rubles or 0.2‰ of the investment in all sectors ofRussia [15].
