Industry Specifics and Problems of Digitalization in the Agro-industrial Complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The purpose of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of management of the agro-industrial complex based on the introduction of digital and intelligent technologies that contribute to reducing the technological gap relative to the developed countries of the world, as well as stimulating the economic growth in Kazakhstan. The following methods were used in the study: information-logical, analysis and synthesis, systematization, economic modeling, and monitoring. As a result of the research, the difficulties, objective factors, and trends that determine the processes of agriculture in Kazakhstan were analyzed. It is given an economic assessment of the existing agro-industrial complex; it is established that an increase in the level of agricultural production depends on the need for new technical support and digital modernization. Based on the results of the SWOT analysis, it has been found that the environmental and economic conditions for the development of precision farming in the North Kazakhstan region require the government support that contributes to the development of new infrastructure. Practical solutions for digitalization processes of agro-industrial complex based on the high potential will lead to the creation of environmentally sustainable programmable farming and productive animal husbandry based on the advanced geospatial technologies, robotics, and artificial intelligence in general.
