Abstract. This article is devoted to the analysis of the introduction of digital technologies in agriculture. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of increasing investment volumes through the implementation of modern digital technology in agriculture. The key areas of agricultural digitalization are explored, including precision farming, drone use, sensors, AI, blockchain, biotechnologies, and big data analytics. Special attention is given to the potential for digital technologies to optimize resource use, increase yields, improve product quality, and reduce environmental impact. Challenges associated with implementing digital technologies in agriculture are also discussed, such as significant investment requirements. The following research methods were used: search and selection of relevant publications in scientific journals, books, materials from scientific conferences; analysis of the contents of articles, identification of key topics, conclusions, and trends; synthesis of information obtained in the form of diagrams; formulation of their own conclusions and recommendations based on analysis of existing knowledge; statistical method – regression. Scientific novelty. It has been proved that digitalization of agriculture is not just a trend, but a necessary condition for its future development, ensuring its efficiency, competitiveness, stability, and investment attractiveness. Today, attracting investments into the sector is one of the major tasks not only for farmers but also for regions as a whole. The results of the study show that the digital transformation of agriculture is a strategically significant factor that contributes to increasing the investment attractiveness of the industry.
