Formation of a unified digital platform for the region’s agriculture

The article discusses projects in the direction of agriculture in the strategy of digital transformation of economic and social sectors and public administration of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The aim of the study is to form the conceptual basis of a unified digital platform for agriculture in the region. Methods. To achieve the aim, inductive-deductive, abstract-logical, expert-analytical, comparative analysis and other methods were used. The analysis of the projects of digital transformation of Yakutia and the existing digital platforms of the agricultural industry has been carried out to develop proposals for choosing the optimal option for using it for its intended purpose in the interests of management. Results and practical significance. The analysis of the projects of the digital transformation strategy of Yakutia and the existing digital platforms of the agriculture industry showed the practical absence of an integrated approach, despite the fact that the digital transformation of agriculture itself relies on the integrated introduction of digital technologies. To ensure the complexity, at a minimum, it is necessary to formally consolidate a single project aim around which information systems will be combined. The result of successful digital transformation should be a unified digital platform of the agro-industrial complex, including all sections that are relevant and necessary for the population, the business community and public authorities of the region. Such a digital platform implies the synchronization of all internal and necessary external products, where the information entered into one section affects and is displayed in the rest. The results of the study can be used as recommendations when making changes to the strategy of digital transformation of regions, in particular Yakutia. The conceptual structure of a unified digital platform necessary for the complex digital transformation of agriculture in the region is proposed.
