This article explores the integration of digital solutions to enhance the sustainable development of agribusiness through the activation of the introduction of intellectual capital. The analysis is carried out taking into account various factors affecting yields, such as soil type, fertilizer use, market prices, employee education level, product demand, and automation level. The level of automation, the use of geographic information systems, access to big data, and hours of employee training were chosen as factors of intellectualization. Random forest, ARIMA, SARIMA, and LSTM models were used to predict yields. The data were taken from the statistical portals of Armenia and Georgia (137 observations). The results of the study show that the LSTM model demonstrated the best prediction accuracy with an average absolute error of 8.30 and a standard error of 102.47. The random forest model showed an average absolute error of 24.87 and a standard error of 828.23, while the ARIMA and SARIMA models did not show significant results. The study revealed significant correlations between digital solutions characterizing the level of intellectual capital in agricultural enterprises and agricultural land productivity, including the level of automation and access to big data. Analysis was also conducted on the impact of intellectual capital on the sustainability of agribusiness, including the impact of the level of education and training hours of employees. It is concluded that the integration of innovative technologies, such as big data and automation, contributes to improving the efficiency of agricultural production.
This article analyses the sustainability of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries with an emphasis on food security. The study covers challenges and threats to food security in Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, given the difficult geopolitical situation. The article examines data from the national statistical services of the EAEU countries, as well as international sources such as the FAO and the World Bank. Correlation and cluster analysis approaches are applied to assess the impact of socioeconomic indicators on the sustainability of the AIC. Significant correlations between indicators of food security and such factors as the volume of agricultural production, investments in the agricultural sector, the level of technological development, and government support are revealed. On average, for the period from 2015 to 2022, the added value of agriculture amounted to 8.2% of GDP, and the food production index was 104.1. The results of the cluster analysis showed that the EAEU countries can be grouped by levels of agricultural development and food security. Thus, K-means and GMM identified three clusters in which Russia found itself both in a separate cluster and in combination with other countries. Agglomerative and spectral clustering also showed similar results, distinguishing three main groups of countries. The average silhouette coefficient for agglomerative and spectral clustering was 0.41, which indicates a better clustering quality compared to K-means and GMM (0.38). It is confirmed that integration and coordination of efforts within the EAEU, as well as diversification of agricultural production and increased investment in innovation, determine the state of sustainability of the agro-industrial complex.
