TECHNOLOGIES AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY IN SMART AGRICULTURE
Keywords:
Smart agriculture, economic efficiency, increasing productivity, farmer income, artificial intelligence, drones, big data systems.Abstract
In developing countries, modern technologies, artificial intelligence, smart drones, and the development of big data systems are aimed at automating and optimizing agricultural processes. These approaches are increasingly being proven through scientific and practical evidence. The economic efficiency of smart agriculture technologies, including their impact on resource savings, productivity enhancement, and farmer incomes, is being studied. Research results indicate that the use of drones for the precise application of pesticides and fertilizers has reduced costs and created favorable conditions for plant growth. However, the high initial costs of implementing smart agricultural technologies and the lack of technical knowledge among farmers remain key challenges. Smart agriculture technologies play an important role in modernizing agriculture and increasing economic efficiency. Government support is crucial for the widespread implementation and development of smart agricultural technologies, as state-provided incentives can promote adoption in the private sector as well.
