Abstract: The aim of the study is to identify the barriers that prevent the introduction of new technologies in the agricultural sector in Russia and to find possible ways to eliminate them. In connection with this goal, the existing foreign experience of implementing digital technologies was reviewed: «crop mapping system» in the United States, the use of advanced technologies in Switzerland, «Smart Farming» in Ireland. There was also an example of the use of the latest digital technologies in Russia in the framework of the development and implementation of the departmental project «Digital Agriculture», which includes several successive stages. To date, the implementation of this project is given special attention in the framework of the development of a comprehensive State program for the development of the agricultural sector until 2025. It should be noted that the use of digital technologies allows agricultural enterprises to reach a fundamentally new level, which is caused by an increase in production volumes while reducing the level of costs associated, for example, with tillage or with the transfer of many technological processes to a remote level of regulation. In this way, agriculture is gradually becoming more accurate and stable. Today, there is a significant shortage of highly qualified specialists in the application of digital technologies in the agricultural sector. In this regard, it is necessary to pay special attention to the quality training of specialists in the agricultural sector, taking into account digital improvements.
