Vladimir Putin: 'Digital Technologies Will Boost Agricultural Efficiency'
Russia is betting on artificial intelligence and automation to modernize its agricultural sector — part of a broader strategy to enhance productivity and global competitiveness.
President Vladimir Putin has announced strategic plans to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced digital technologies in Russian agriculture. The statement came as part of his address to the country’s agricultural workers on their professional holiday.
Putin emphasized that Russia’s agro-industrial complex is entering a critical phase of technological development. The main goal, he said, is to expand the adoption of digital solutions and robotic systems across farms and processing facilities. AI technologies, according to the president, will serve as a powerful tool for increasing productivity and strengthening the sector’s competitiveness.
A Strategic Digital Step
The initiative marks a fundamental shift in one of Russia’s key industries. Digital transformation and automation are expected to elevate the country’s agriculture to a new level, optimizing resource management and boosting crop yields.
Beyond national impact, the transition to intelligent technologies could have global implications. As demand for food continues to grow worldwide, Russia’s model of AI-driven agriculture could contribute significantly to international food security — and showcase how digital innovation can redefine the future of farming.
