Innovative development of the AIC: problems and strategies for their solution

Currently, there are many unresolved problems in agricultural sectors:  low level of production and processing of agricultural products, presence of significant number of small-scale farms, financial instability of agricultural entities, insufficient rates of improvement of market infrastructure, which hinders innovative renewal of agricultural sector, and digitalization processes.

The goal is to substantiate the strategy for technological modernization of the republic's AIC.

The methods are based on scientific research by domestic and foreign scientists, data from the Bureau of National Statistics, Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforming of the RK, scientific institutions, and information from official sources.

Results - issues of innovative transformation and use of digital platforms to achieve high efficiency of agro-industrial production and its structural transformations, overcoming challenges and risks that pose threat to the country's agro-industrial complex were studied. Methodological approaches to managing innovation processes are considered,  main reasons hindering the achievement of high results in the republic’s agriculture and building its potential are shown: low technical equipment, inefficient use of natural resources, in particular land and water, lack of the necessary system for storage, transportation and sale of  products,  unattractiveness of this area for investment.

Conclusions - analysis of world practice shows that in the context of transition to innovative path of development of agricultural sector, regulatory role of the state, designed to ensure technological progress, increases and becomes a key factor responsible for developing a strategy for creating mechanisms for its implementation and financial support, and formation of a new type of economy. The systematic nature of implementation of innovative projects in agribusiness will help increase the number of jobs and specialists with new competencies.
