The article presents an analysis of various approaches to defining the concept of “digital economy”. It is revealed that in practice it includes a very wide list of categories related to the processes of informatization and computerization of society. An economic approach is proposed that allows determining the economic efficiency of the introduction of digital technologies in the region’s farms, which will become an effective tool for line Ministries and departments in assessing the effectiveness of measures to introduce digital technologies in the agar sector. As an indicator of social production and the achievement of the greatest results with the least cost of living and materialized labor per unit of output produced can be expressed as the difference between the additional operating profit (effect) obtained after mastering digital technologies and the sum of the current costs of their development. The developed methodology was tested on the example of 4 typical agricultural enterprises of Tukaevskiy, Bugulminskiy, Zelenodolskiy and Arskiy municipal districts of the Republic of Tatarstan, located in different climatic zones. The average decrease in the production cost of 1 centner of grain crops after the development of digital technologies in these farms in 2019 amounted to 13%.
