Abstract: Currently, the activities of all sectors of the economy can no longer be imagined without information and communication technologies (digital services, products using information technology, big data, etc.). A necessary condition for the digitalization of agricultural economy branches is their achievement of a high level of informatization and automation in order to increase the economic efficiency of production. This requires a constant search for ways to manage the economic and social changes caused by digital transformation. The topic of agricultural informatization has been discussed at various levels for many years: companies developing information solutions declare bold and far-reaching plans. However, in practice, there are few cases of the introduction of "smart" technologies in the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region - these are rather point projects than a trend has taken shape. And they are most often implemented by large agricultural conglomerates that have resources; the bulk of the sector's enterprises are not in a hurry to digitalize yet. Today, the agriculture sector of the Novosibirsk region is one of the largest and most significant sectors of the Russian economy. The industry meets the needs of the region in grain and grain products, potatoes and vegetables, eggs, dairy and meat products. Robotization of agricultural production in the Novosibirsk region is a key condition for its digitalization, first of all, it is the introduction of mobile and stationary robotic complexes that can be used in various fields (crop production, animal husbandry, closed soils, the creation of artificial ecosystems similar to natural ones and in many other areas).The use of digital technologies in the management of the agro-industrial complex of the Novosibirsk region is characterized by the active use of specialized databases and software in the agricultural sectors of the region.
