In the last few years, the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation has been developing quite dynamically, successfully overcoming various problems and transforming into sustainable food systems and supply chains, as evidenced by the consistently high level of investment activity of the complex and the growth of competition among agricultural producers. With the development of the agro-industrial complex, the complex's need for high-quality systems for collecting, storing and processing various data, focused on the use of the most modern technologies from artificial intelligence and robotics to the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G, is also growing. Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation has already put into commercial operation 8 information systems, one information system is at the stage of completion. At the same time, the problems of practical use of such existing information systems raise questions of both theoretical and practical nature. Firstly, because the volumes of data required by various subjects of the agro-industrial complex for effective functioning and development, as well as the need for their qualitative, in-depth analysis and processing, are growing every day. Hence, there is a need for constant improvement of existing information systems, both in terms of modernization of existing subsystems and in terms of creating new subsystems. Secondly, despite the numerous advantages of existing information systems and user-friendliness, in the Russian Federation the digital gap between those subjects of the agro-industrial complex to whom the use of systems is available and those subjects to whom the use of systems is not available for various reasons is enormous. In these conditions, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation faces a complex task, focused both on the timely completion of existing systems, taking into account the needs of the subjects of the agro-industrial complex, and on solving the problems of access to such systems of those subjects to whom the use of systems is not available.
