Russia Will Build a Digital Platform for Dairy Production
Information technology is set to modernize agriculture and strengthen food security, starting with a next‑gen platform for the dairy industry in the Moscow Region.
The Moscow Region’s Ministry of Agriculture and agribusiness holding OSP Agro have signed an agreement to create an advanced digital platform for dairy production. Officials say digitization could lift the region’s milk output by more than 1.5× by 2030.
The partnership will roll out a suite of innovations: automated production accounting, robotic milking systems, and AI‑driven animal‑health monitoring built on IoT devices. These tools capture even subtle changes in herd well‑being, enabling early prediction and prevention of disease.
IT in Russian Agriculture Is No Longer a Pilot—It’s a Pattern
The Moscow Region initiative accelerates a broader shift already underway: Russian agriculture is squeezing more efficiency out of operations with digital tools. Local developers recently introduced a “smart livestock” system in which a connected collar tracks a cow’s condition in real time.
Beyond health monitoring, neurochips that regulate animals’ basic needs are nearing wider adoption, and urban vertical farms are gradually adding “digital twins” to speed up plant breeding and crop selection.
