Digitalization of agriculture in the last few years has been considered as one of the priorities of the state policy of the agro-industrial sector within the framework of the overall strategy for the development of the national digital economy. The main goal of such digitalization is to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the agro–industrial complex by simplifying the processes of interaction between the subjects of the industry, the processes of collecting and processing information, as well as the process of interaction of the subjects of the industry with government agencies and organizations. However, such goals have not yet been achieved in the Russian agro-industrial complex, which is confirmed by the identified problems in the system of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. The existing problems of the development of existing information systems indicate that the most important prospect for the development of such systems in the medium term is to ensure the integration of such systems, which will simplify both the possibility of information exchange and the work of users of the system, as well as decision-making processes. At the same time, practical issues of ensuring the integration of information systems among themselves are complex and require taking into account the specifics of the choice of technological solutions that meet the essence of agricultural informatization, taking into account the shortcomings of existing information systems, taking into account the specifics of data processed in existing information systems. Integration of existing information systems can be considered as a complex, but very important step towards the modern technological infrastructure of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, because despite the initial complexity in developing technical solutions, it will simplify many operations and make data exchange and decision-making processes more efficient and qualitative.
