The impact of digital technologies on the effectiveness of management in the agricultural sector of the Kyrgyz Republic
This study aimed to identify current trends in the use of digital technologies in the agricultural sector of the Kyrgyz Republic. It used theoretical approaches to study the global development of digital technologies and empirical methodologies to assess their implementation in Kyrgyz agricultural enterprises. The findings indicated the growing importance of digital agricultural technologies for improving the efficiency of agricultural operations worldwide, including in Kyrgyzstan. This progress increases the ability to more effectively meet consumer demand for the products produced by these enterprises. The integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, database systems, robotics, smart sensors and automation into the management of Kyrgyzstan's agricultural enterprises is leading to cost optimisation, lower production costs, higher yields and the production of higher quality agricultural goods. Improving management efficiency is a key element of these reforms and is crucial for the successful operation of companies in the sector, especially in light of the current economic conditions. Modern digital technologies significantly increase the efficiency of management in the Kyrgyz agricultural sector by facilitating the rapid collection and processing of data.They also expand the possibilities for making the right management decisions, and thus increase the overall efficiency of enterprises in the country's agricultural sector
