Abstract: Nowadays the development of agricultural innovations is due to digital technologies. At the initial digitalization stages, agricultural machinery and aggregates are equipped with various sensors that transmit the parameters of technological processes directly to the machine operator. At the next stage, personal computers, tablets and smartphones are equipped with special applications that allow remote control of production processes. And at the latest stages, it combines the main technological processes of the crop industry into a single chain, which allows you to move from drawing up technological maps for each crop to each field, take into account and plan agricultural landscapes, microclimatic parameters, seed consumption, etc. All subsequent stages of digitalization of crop farms and their transition to a new technological order require the involvement of new resources. This can be done only through the joint efforts of representatives of agribusiness, public authorities, scientific and academic organizations, as well as financial institutions. Consequently, agricultural enterprises have three stages of digital maturity: initial, intermediate and final. A number of measures were proposed for each stage of the development of digital technologies by grain producers. So at the initial stage, it is enough to build bilateral business relations between agricultural producers and IT firms. This allows us to solve particular production tasks. At the second and third stages, it is planned to complicate and consolidate economic ties between participants in the digital transformation process. At the final stage, it is necessary to create specialized venture funds. They will enable more developed agricultural areas to transfer the positive experience of using digital technologies to less developed ones. Taking this into account, the conditions for the formation of a digital ecosystem of agricultural enterprises of the Saratov region based on the concept of Agriculture 4.0 were presented. This ecosystem is designed to create favorable conditions for the external environment of agricultural enterprises for the transfer of innovations, as well as to accelerate the transition to a new (the sixth) technological order.
