ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE IN THE USE OF ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS BY FARMERS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The materials of the study consider the importance of using electronic platforms (e- platforms) by farmers of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the essence of this process. The main goal of the State program "Digital Kazakhstan" is to improve the quality of life of the country's population, within the framework of which digital technologies are aimed at increasing production volumes and profitability of peasant (private) farms. More than ten thousand rural entrepreneurs answered the questionnaires in electronic format, which made it possible to assess the level of application of communication technologies in agricultural production of the republic. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the use of Fisher's oneway analysis of variance and Leavin's statistics to determine the difference in the degree of use of digitalization for the agricultural sector development. Differences and similarities in the use of software systems in order to obtain information for optimal farm management, depending on the age categories of farmers, are revealed. 64 variables of the collected data with the subsequent generalization of empirical results served as the basis for the analysis of variance of the use of electronic platforms by agricultural producers. It is concluded that the latest information technologies in agriculture will reduce risks, eliminate the human factor, reduce costs and increase crop yields. Digital schematics will become an integral part of crop planning, digital crop simulation, and animal feed calculation.
