Russia to Produce Spare Parts for AI-Driven Agricultural Machinery

 In a major step toward import independence, Russia is setting up domestic production of key components for smart farming technologies.

A new manufacturing facility will soon be launched in Taldom, near Moscow, where components for sensor systems used in AI-controlled farming equipment will be produced. These sensors allow neural networks to monitor machinery operations in real-time and make critical decisions—such as determining when to weed, spray pesticides, or initiate irrigation.

The investment project will receive full government support, and the new products are expected to debut at major economic forums in Kazan and Moscow.

Currently, over 12% of Russian agricultural enterprises are already deploying AI technologies, and around 37% are in the process of integrating them. By 2027, more than 75% of agricultural companies in the country are projected to use AI in some form.
