Abstract

The aim of the work is to study the coordination of the growth rates of the use of digital technologies in agricultural organizations and the efficiency of agricultural production in farms of all categories of the Russian Federation. Based on Rosstat data and our own calculations, the chain growth rates of indicators for 2019-2022 have been studied. With the growing number of organizations by type of activity, agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing, fish farming in the Russian Federation, their costs for information and communication technologies, and for the purchase of telecommunications equipment are increasing. but they reduce the cost of purchasing software in the face of anti-Russian sanctions, a pandemic and shock effects. The instability of the development of organizations in the information infrastructure is associated with a decrease in the number of personal computers per 100 employees and the number of organizations using broadband Internet access. The coordination of the growth rate of potato, sugar beet, and sunflower seeds yields with the growth rate of organizations’ costs for the purchase of telecommunications equipment has been established. The dynamics of vegetable yields is coordinated with the dynamics of organizations’ expenditures on information and communication technologies.
