Integration of Agriculture 4.0 Technologies Into the Regional Agro-Industrial Complex: Opportunities and Barriers to Digitalization

This article explores the opportunities and limitations of integrating Agriculture 4.0 technologies into the regional agro-industrial complex. Particular attention is paid to Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Big Data, robotic technologies, and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as their impact on the efficiency of agricultural production. Key digitalization barriers — infrastructural, personnel-related, and organizational — are identified, and directions of governmental support are outlined. The study is based on materials from domestic scientific publications and digital transformation programs of the agro-industrial sector in Russia.
