Some aspects of the socio-economic consequences of informatization of economic management in agro-industrial complex

Abstract In this paper, the socio-economic aspects of the influence of information and communication technologies on the processes of managing the country’s economy in terms of the agro-industrial complex are considered. A brief retrospective analysis of the phased introduction of computer technology into management processes is presented on the example of practical experience in the implementation of informatization of a large agro-industrial holding in the Kuban. These works were carried out within the framework of the task “Electronics of agriculture” of the Integrated Program of the scientific and Technical Program of the member countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. At the same time, a systematic interconnection of work was carried out in the areas of informatization in terms of technological processes, organizational and economic management of enterprises, education, the social sphere of the village and agricultural science. It is shown that such a complex nature of informatization turned out to be unrealizable due to serious limitations of the complementary interdependencies of various assets. At the same time, the experience gained made it possible to develop a single digital platform for managing agro-industrial production and can be useful in modern conditions in relation to other sectors of the economy, primarily in terms of the organizational structure of the platform, providing for its scientific and personnel support.
