Summary: | Background. Today world tendencies associated with integration in the world
economy served to create the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). The BRICS countries are the largest producers of agricultural products, and ongoing
processes of introducing innovations and innovative technologies in various areas, including
agriculture and agro-industrial complex, contribute to their competitiveness growth.
The purpose of the research is to analyze features of innovative technologies use in agriculture
of the BRICS countries. Materials and methods. Implementation of research tasks was
achieved on the statistical data study on indicators of agro-industrial complex of the BRICS
countries, on comparative analysis of innovative technologies used by the BRICS countries
in agriculture. The research methodology is based on systematic approach. Results. Current
state analysis of agriculture in the BRICS countries is carried out; various innovative technologies
that allow to switch to high-tech innovative agriculture are considered in relation
to the BRICS countries. Conclusions. The share of agriculture in GDP of the BRICS countries
is quite high. Increasing a competitiveness of agriculture and the BRICS agroindustrial
complex in the global agri-food market requires a transition to high-tech innovative
agriculture. Innovations and technologies of agro-industrial complex in these countries
are developing quite effectively. Unmanned aerial vehicles are widely used for agricultural
purposes and online platforms for trading agricultural products are evolving. Today, interaction
process of the BRICS countries in innovation and technological fields is actively
underway, and the governments of these countries provide support in development of innovations
and ensure full functioning of agro-industrial complex.
