The level of providing the population with livestock products at the expense of their own production largely depends on the development of grain production, which is an important strategic component of the country's food security. Achieving this goal is possible only with the stable functioning of the entire agricultural sector, the main direction of which is to increase the volume of grain production and increase the economic efficiency of its organization and management. Grain farming is the basis of agricultural production, which has a decisive influence on the development of all its branches. In connection with the above, the analysis of the state of grain production in the Russian Federation in the conditions of transition to export-oriented production becomes relevant. In this connection, the analysis of the sown areas of grain and leguminous crops in farms of all categories, in the context of the main categories of farms of the Russian Federation, was carried out. In addition, a study of the yield of grain and leguminous crops in the context of the main categories of farms of the Russian Federation was conducted, all this allowed us to state that the intensive development of grain production for the period from 2016 to 2020. it became possible due to a change in the structure of sown areas, an increase in the yield of grain and leguminous crops. Thus, in the main category of grain producers, the gross harvest increased by 8.1 %, amounting to 93.2 thousand tons. in peasant (farm) farms, the volume of grain production increased by 17.7 % or from 33.47 to 39.41 million tons. In the households of the population, the gross grain harvest was distinguished by a downward trend – from 1023 thousand tons to 858 thousand tons, or by 16.1 % compared to the level of the base year

The article provides information on the level of implementation of the digital economy in the agricultural sector; aspects of the introduction of digital agriculture into production are revealed; the level of education of the personnel potential of rural workers is analyzed; the prospects of digitalization of the machine and tractor fleet of the agro-industrial complex are revealed.
The problem of improving state support for enterprises of the dairy product complex, in particular dairy cattle breeding, remains relevant. Its solution will contribute to the preservation of livestock and increase milk production. The current system of state support for agricultural producers in Ulyanovsk region in the form of subsidies for sold milk is inefficient, and only organizations that ensure an increase in milk yield, as well as maintaining milk production and calf output per 100 cows, can receive it. In addition, the amount of subsidy per 1 liter of milk sold is only 0.54 rubles. This does not stimulate the development of dairy cattle breeding in the region, as evidenced by the low growth rate of gross milk yield for 2014–2018. The sector’s efficiency in agricultural enterprises - the main producers of marketed milk - decreased by 6.0 percentage points, amounting to 21.9% in 2018. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for improving state support for dairy cattle breeding in the Ulyanovsk region. In general, it should be aimed at preserving (increasing) the number of dairy herds and maintaining the productivity of cows not lower than the average regional value. The amount of the proposed subsidies under the state support program for dairy cattle breeding in the region may amount to 12.0 thousand rubles. per 1 cow, including 2.0 thousand rubles for the safety of the livestock, 10.0 thousand rubles - for the productivity of cows. With this approach, in 2018, 52.5 million rubles would have been required for state support for the development of the dairy cattle industry in agricultural enterprises in the region, the subsidy per 1 liter of milk sold would have amounted to 1.66 rubles
The studies were carried out in order to identify factors affecting the efficiency of milk production in Ulyanovsk region, to subsequently determine the most important measures for the development of the industry. The bulk of marketed milk in the region is produced by agricultural enterprises. Despite the strengthening of state support measures to stimulate dairy farming, the growth rate of milk production in agricultural organizations in the region remains low. For 2014 - 2018 gross milk yield in farms of this category increased by only 5.7% and was due to increased productivity of cows. At the same time, milk production efficiency decreased from 27.9 to 21.9%, and its growth was noted only in 7 regions of the region. In 11 districts, a decrease in the profitability of milk production for 2014–2018, ranged from 6.2 to 71.5 percentage points. According to the results of the grouping of agricultural enterprises of Ulyanovsk region, the highest level of profitability of milk production is due to the increased average annual milk yield from 1 cow, a larger share of feed costs in the total cost of maintaining the dairy herd, low production and sale costs of 1 centner of milk, and a high selling price of 1 centner milk. Achieving high profitability is possible only with the optimal combination of these factors. Strengthening the fodder base will contribute to increasing the efficiency of milk production in Ulyanovsk region, which will ensure further development of the industry and create conditions for increasing the volume of milk and dairy products
In the course of agrarian transformations in agriculture in recent decades, there have been profound social and economic changes in the framework of agrarian reform. There has been a trend of transition to new innovative realities in the form of digital transformation of agribusiness, which served as the main goal of the study in the form of analyzing the readiness of agricultural sectors for technical and technological modernization of production and identifying barriers to digitalization of agribusiness. Using generally accepted empirical research methods in the form of a comparison of agribusiness indicators over a number of years, an ambiguous trend in the development of the main production indicators was revealed. From 2011 to 2020 the share of crop production in the Russian Federation in the total volume of agricultural production increased from 50.56% to 53.63%, while the share of animal husbandry decreased by 3.07 percentage points and amounted to 46.37% by 2020. This trend could be a good basis for the introduction of digital technologies. The survey made it possible to cover a large number of respondents and identify a number of problems facing farmers in the transition to a digital economy. Among them: the lack of state support, the high cost of digital products, the lack of awareness of digital innovations, the underdevelopment of infrastructure, the lack of high-tech equipment and personnel with digital competencies. Based on the identified factors hindering the development of digital transformation, the authors propose the main instruments of state and market regulation of the digital transformation of agriculture, which can become the basis for solving a number of problems that have arisen
Energy and energy supply development determines the rate of production intensification, including agricultural production. The current state of rural power supply is characterized by a high degree of deterioration of electrical equipment, long distance overhead power lines, low reliability of low-voltage electrical networks, and a higher accident rate. With an aim of ensuring food security and export orientation of the industry for the next 5 years, it is necessary to implement a set of measures to improve the efficiency of energy supply to agricultural production. This task will be hampered by a constant rise in prices and tariffs for energy resources. Thus, over the last 20 years, energy costs have increased from 3-5 % to 30-40 % in agricultural production. The specific capital investment (per 1 kW of power) and the cost of 1 kWh of electricity were reported to depend on a type of local energy source and its capacity. The paper proposes a method for marking out the economic boundaries of the effective use of local power supply arrangements to replace a standard central station. A power gen-set supplying energy to an agricultural holding is capable of operating in two modes subsequent upon utility (central station) electricity – autonomous and parallel. The authors compared the cost of electrical and thermal energy produced by the power gen-set and tariffs for these types of energy. Calculations have shown that it is advisable for an agricultural holding to have a local power supply system being a power gen-set based on gas engine-generators.
Technical re-equipment in the economic literature involves equipping enterprises with new equipment, the introduction of progressive technologies, modernization and replacement of outdated and physically worn equipment, mechanization and automation of technological processes. Developing this direction, we will expand the theoretical aspects of re-equipment such as the development of equipment and technologies in several stages based on innovations of scientific and technological progress, and the influence of scientific potential in the field of modernization of technology, including the process of digital transformation. The purpose of the study is to analyze and expand the theoretical aspects of technical modernization of agriculture based on the formation of a model of technical modernization of agribusiness. Main research methods: general scientific (analysis of literature on the research problem, generalization, comparison and systematization of empirical and theoretical data) approach. The study widely uses the concepts of modern science of digitalization of the economy. For further improvement of this process, the author's model of technical and technological re-equipment of agriculture in the conditions of transition to the digital economy is proposed, which involves the identification of re-equipment factors (STP, state support, staffing, the state of the technical base), identification of digitalization risks (information security, job cuts, equipment downtime due to lack of Internet), determination of the result (growth of competitiveness, improvement of social infrastructure, increase in production efficiency, improvement of the environmental situation).
