Abstract: The article clarifies and structures the tasks of digital transformation in ensuring sustainable growth in agricultural production. The problems are analyzed and the necessary prerequisites for sustainable growth are formulated with increased price volatility in the product markets, increase in the cost of resources and global risks, and stabilization of the level of state support for agriculture. The relevance is substantiated and the basic conditions for the implementation of the scenario of increasing production volumes in industries and sub-sectors of agriculture with decreasing costs are formalized. The increased differentiation of the rates of development between the sub-sectors of agriculture in the Northwestern Federal District was revealed, depending on the phase of transition to industrial automated conveyor-type production. During the analysis of mastering digital technologies process in the agro-industrial complex, strengthening of applied artificial intelligence technologies role in solving a set of tasks to improve the efficiency of agricultural production management was determined. The tasks of digital transformation are structured in the implementation of a scenario of development with decreasing costs in industries and sub-sectors of agriculture, ensuring internal and external savings, reducing all types of unit costs: direct production, management, transaction (market), opportunity (lost profits) with an increase in production volumes. The relevance of the target organizational and economic mechanism of digital transformation ensuring sustainable agricultural production growth and competitiveness, including in the Non-Black Earth Region of Russia, in the "zone of risky agriculture" was substantiated.
