description The article substantiates the catastrophic consequences of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, which led to the industrial crisis in the world. The need to restore the agricultural sector of the economy as soon as possible, in particular the lost or destroyed supply chains of agricultural products in the postwar period, is argued, primarily through the introduction of digital opportunities in the business processes of agricultural enterprises. The work of farmers on the ground, in fact, under the flight of missiles and fighters overhead, with long delays due to the preliminary inspection of soils by sappers, could not but affect the export of agricultural products. Although the situation with food exports before the war with Russia looked quite optimistic: in the previous year a record wheat harvest was harvested, corn harvest increased significantly, positive forecasts for food crops in the coming periods were expected. At the same time, the authors state that the introduction of quarantine measures in connection with the global pandemic has not led to a significant negative impact on the state of the agricultural sector in Ukraine. This is due to the specifics of the work of agricultural enterprises, which is carried out mainly on agricultural land, which allowed the agribusiness to reduce additional costs for compliance with the new mandatory sanitary requirements. At the same time, the global pandemic has accelerated the process of digitalization in the agricultural sector through the introduction and daily use of domestic electronic document management by agricultural enterprises, holding meetings and meetings through online platforms for video conferencing, corporate portals and others. In addition, agricultural holdings were able to quickly adapt to new working conditions through the active introduction of business processes before the spread of the global pandemic of electronic markings in agricultural production, cameras, monitors, sensors, GPS trackers, unmanned aerial vehicles. The study substantiates the view that with strong support for the development of digital agribusiness capabilities, it will be possible to further improve the process of sowing on agricultural land that was not destroyed during the war and in regions where the logistics of seed supply has not been paralyzed. As a result, there is reason to talk about the development of digital farming as a way of farming using the technologies needed to integrate financial and field records for further integrated management of the farm. However, it will significantly depend on the readiness of farmers to comprehensive digitalization of economic activity.
