By 2030, labor productivity in the industry must increase by 12.6% compared to 2023. In terms of technology and automation, in 2026 it is planned to use equipment with autonomous driving functions to process approximately 12.5 million hectares of farmland, and agricultural drones to process over 1 million hectares. In the livestock sector, herd management systems, automatic milking and feeding systems, and animal status sensors are being promoted. According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, 195 contracts were signed in the field of automation and robotization of the agro-industrial complex in 2025, totaling nearly 27 billion rubles; since the beginning of 2026, more than 60 additional contracts have been signed.
Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov (Максим Решетников) noted that over the past five years, labor productivity growth in the agro-industrial complex has been twice the national average, with industry technologization and the work of competence centers being important factors. Currently, agro-industrial complex enterprises are introducing lean production tools, and related projects help reduce downtime, losses, and costs.
