The article examines the role and prerequisites for using innovative solutions to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of modern agribusiness. The article examines the role and prerequisites for using innovative technologies to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of modern agribusiness. Searching for scientific and practical solutions focuses on analyzing current trends, opportunities, and challenges associated with implementing innovative solutions in agribusiness. It is highlighted that global trends in the development of critical economic factors (labor, capital, technology) create both new opportunities and threats for the development of companies. It is substantiated that the reduction of working-age people threatens the development of rural areas and the provision of agricultural enterprises with labor. It is proved that most of the labor processes carried out in agricultural companies today require manual skills. The current trends in labor shortages in agricultural companies are highlighted, which is compensated for by the growth of labor productivity, but its level, due to the relatively low provision of enterprises with material and technical resources, still does not allow organizing agricultural business at the level corresponding to the leading countries. During the study, the methodology of theoretical generalization, as well as analysis and synthesis, was used, which allowed us to deepen and structure the understanding of the transformative potential of innovative technologies in agriculture at the present stage of development of innovative technologies. It has been found that innovative technologies play a crucial role in increasing the efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability of agribusiness by optimizing production, and improving the transparency and traceability of operations and processes. Keywords: innovative technologies, agribusiness, agriculture, agricultural production, shortage of personnel, threat of unemployment, labour processes, introduction of innovations, efficiency, competitiveness.
