DIGITALIZATION OF AGRICULTURE IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN: EXPERIENCE AND PROBLEMS

The role of using digital technologies in the economy of agricultural sector of Kazakhstan is shown. A literature review based on a study of digitalization of agriculture and land cultivation is presented. It is proved that digital farming involves the promotion of new information systems. In particular, it was determined that agricultural engineering based on a digital instrument stimulates the optimization of production processes. An economic assessment of digital farms in Kazakhstan for 2018-2019 was carried out. The experience of implementing land use digitalization on the example of the activities of farms in the northern regions of Kazakhstan is analyzed. For example, in the North Kazakhstan, Akmola and Kostanai regions, electronic maps of agricultural fields have been introduced. Over the past three years, sowing and harvesting has been monitored online in the northern regions. The work focuses on equipping agricultural machinery with “GPS” monitoring systems via satellite navigation, this helps to quickly monitor crop ripening, irrigation level, plant disease, etc. Important attention is paid to the creation of an irrigated landfill on the example of agricultural activity of the Scientific and Production Center named after A.I. Barayev. This research center has achieved positive results in the implementation of the project "precision farming". The experience of spring wheat production using an integrated approach to managing soil productivity using computer and space nanotechnology, which contributes to high yields and resource savings, is shown. The main problems are identified and recommendations are proposed for stimulating the use of the digital farming system in agricultural sector of Kazakhstan.
