Mathematical modeling in the agricultural and forestry sectors

The agricultural sector and the forestry industry are important elements of the economies of many countries around the world. These two industries have many similarities that allow for comprehensive research that complement each other. The key quality of these industries is the use of biological resources, mostly of plant origin. In modern conditions, the agricultural and forestry sectors should use modern achievements of science and information technology. One of the most important elements of modern economics is the use of mathematical modeling tools. This study analyzes the possibilities of its application in the agricultural and forestry sectors (using the example of Russian practice). A theoretical analysis of the possibilities of using these tools in enterprises of the studied industries is presented. A practical study of the activities of Russian enterprises has been conducted. The factors influencing the development of the agricultural and forestry sectors are identified, and the degree of their influence on each of the industries is assessed. The approbation of the use of mathematical modeling tools and optimization of the enterprise's activities was carried out on the example of one of the logging enterprises. One of the important results was the determination of the features of software implementation at the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex and the forestry industry.
