Russia to Fully Transition to Domestic Software in Agriculture by 2030

Russia is accelerating the digital transformation of its agriculture sector, betting on domestic AI-driven tools to boost productivity and reduce import dependency.

More than 40% of Russian agricultural enterprises are now adopting digital solutions and artificial intelligence to enhance operational efficiency, according to Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut. Speaking at the All-Russian Field Day, she emphasized the sector’s goal to increase production volumes by 25% and exports by 50% by 2030. Without digitalization, she said, these targets would be out of reach, as reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

Modern tech is already reshaping how Russian farms operate. Robots now plant seedlings, graft crops, and even milk cows—reducing the need for manual labor. Agro-drones and unmanned machinery monitor field conditions and handle crop treatment. AI-powered analytics help forecast yields, assess weather risks, and optimize logistics. In livestock farming, predictive systems are used to prevent disease outbreaks.

Over the past decade, productivity in Russian agriculture has grown by 55%, much of it due to digital innovation. This year, the government plans to launch Agroport, a new digital solutions marketplace where farmers can browse and adopt tools that fit their needs.

By 2030, Russia aims to run its entire agricultural sector on domestic software. Digital transformation is expected to be the driving force behind the industry’s continued growth.
