Digitization of the agro-industrial complex of Russia as a factor of increasing the investment attractiveness of innovative start-ups

Abstract

Modern realities of the Russian economy create new challenges in the development of the agro-industrial complex. The instability of the financial and economic environment leads to a slowdown in the growth rate of the industry. The data of the Russian federal state statistics service on the dynamics of agricultural development show successful attempts of the state authorities to digitize the agro-industrial sector through the development of state programs and creation of an agricultural ecosystem. The comparative characteristic of small business and start-ups is given. Key difficulties in the development and implementation of start-ups in the agricultural sector of the economy are identified.
