Agricultural policy in the field of innovation and digitalization of agricultural exports: legal framework

The article highlights the issues of the state agriculturalpolicyonthedevelopmentofinformation and innovative agricultural relations in the field of digitalization of agricultural exports (hereinafter - agroexport). The peculiarities of the pilot project on verification of agro-industrial complex entities under martial law are clarified. It is emphasized that the verification of agro-exporters is aimed at developing agrarian information and innovation relations, widespread use of digitalization in the agricultural sector, strengthening the rule of law and overcoming bureaucratic obstacles in all areas of agricultural production, and minimizing the corruption element in agricultural export relations. To be included in the list of verified agricultural entities, an entity must have a special legal personality, the elements of which are: the status of an agricultural producer; experience in exporting agricultural products; registration in the State Agrarian Register; financial stability; and systematic economic activity. The author determines that the State Agrarian Register is an intangible asset in the form of a complex digital object which combines a computer program and a non-original database. It is accounted for and administered by the state. Intellectual property rights to this Register belong to the state. The registration of entities in the State Agrarian Register creates a potential opportunity for agribusinesses to timely submit applications for state support, as well as permits, conduct their own verification as an agro-export entity, etc. The digitalization of such data is the basis for the opening of electronic agricultural markets, including digital agricultural exports. Given the potential of digital trade, the author argues that it is expedient to support the further filling and functioning of the State Agrarian Register and verification of agro-exporters as prerequisites for the further development of digital agrarian legal relations. It is emphasized that the digitalization of agricultural production is an additional factor for expanding the markets for national agricultural products. Thus, due to the introduction of digitalization into the production process, a future consumer of agricultural products (regardless of their location in the world) can potentially track the entire process - from the selection of high- quality seeds to finished products.
