Enterprises in various industries are characterized by specific patterns of digital transformation, and enterprises in the agro-industrial complex are also following this trend. The scientific problem considered in the article is related to the adaptation of general approaches to assessing the level of digital maturity to the specifics of the corresponding transformations in the agricultural sector. The purpose of the article is to compare existing methods for assessing digital maturity and substantiate the need to take into account the industry specifics of enterprises for a more objective approach to assessment. The methods of assessing digital maturity offered by domestic and foreign researchers and consultants are insufficiently focused on the structural, organizational, managerial and financial aspects of activities specific to agricultural enterprises. A comparative analysis revealed that existing approaches need to be updated, as the digital landscape is rapidly changing and taking into account only historical practical experience in determining digital maturity does not guarantee the effectiveness of approaches in modern realities. The authors also proposed recommendations and clarifications of the criteria for assessing the level of digital maturity of agricultural enterprises and new integrated assessment options that allow for a more comprehensive and comprehensive review of the problem of readiness for digital transformation of agricultural enterprises and monitor the success of its implementation. The scientific results of the study allow all stakeholders: agricultural producers, government agencies responsible for the implementation and control of measures to support agricultural enterprises, line ministries and departments to more reliably assess the effects of efforts made towards digital transformation and make management decisions based on accurate and reliable information about the achieved level of digital maturity.
