Abstract
Relevance. The development of digital technologies is radically gradually changing the face of modern agricultural production, which is reflected in the grain industry, where precision farming systems and artificial intelligence are already being introduced. On the one hand, such rapid development of technologies contributes to an increase in the economic efficiency of grain production and a decrease in the impact of external negative factors, and on the other hand, it leads to the emergence of new types of risks for the industry, the impact of which can also have serious consequences.
The purpose is to systematize the risks of digitalization of grain production..
Objectives: on the basis of the classification of risks of digitalization of grain production proposed by the author, to systematize them; develop a scheme for identifying the risks of digitalization of grain production.
Methodology. Based on a critical analysis of a number of scientific studies, using systematization methods (classification and grouping), the risks of digitalization of grain production were systematized, and a scheme for identifying these risks was proposed.
Results. The study suggests such risk groups for the digitalization of grain production as the technological complexity of implementation, management and use of data, socio-economic risks and the speed of adaptation. These risks are proposed to be identified by the place of occurrence, by the degree of influence on the production process and by the scope of impact, for which an appropriate scheme is proposed.
Conclusions. The results obtained have practical significance. The prospect of further research is to develop methodological recommendations for managing digital technologies in grain production at the level of specific farms, as well as methods for their implementation, which should take into account the specifics and problems of industry development.
