Abstract

The analysis of the problems of technical and technological modernisation of the agroindustrial complex of Russia is carried out. It reveals a significant lag behind the world leaders. The analysis is based on statistical data and scientific publications, focusing on technical equipment, introduction of innovations, and production efficiency. It is found that the country’s agriculture is characterised by an outdated material and technical base, low level of automation, inefficient use of energy resources and slow implementation of advanced technologies such as precision farming. This leads to lower labour productivity, higher production costs and, as a consequence, low competitiveness. The study also revealed a shortage of skilled labour and insufficient funding for research and development, as well as dependence on imported machinery. The authors stress the need for a comprehensive approach to modernisation, including technical re-equipment, introduction of modern technologies and development of human capital.
