The article highlights the importance of digitalization in the agricultural sector, as in all sectors of the economy. Comparisons were made between traditional agricultural production and innovative production, and their efficiency was analyzed. It is noted that the main issue in the process of digitalization is not the solution of current issues, but the provision of digital solutions that can ensure the sustainable development of the enterprise in 5-7 years. Are shown the advantages of using tools such as innovative smart farming, smart animal husbandry, mapping of territories, creation of a common database, active use of smart sensors, use of autonomous robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, establishment of centralized databases and more accurate modeling using these databases, artificial intelligence and machines as digitization tools. In conclusion, the work done in our country in the field of digitalization and perspective opportunities were considered.

The main objective of the livestock is breeding of high productive farm animals, improving existing and creation of new and more productive breeds. In this case, bred animals, along with productive qualities, must also have high adaptation characteristics for industrial rearing. They also have to meet the requirements of fully automated and mechanized industrial conditions used for milk and meat production. This article analyzes the current situation in animal breeding, especially in dairy cattle breeding in Azerbaijan, the role of the government in the cattle breeding structure and breeding system in general, legislation applied in this area and state subsidies stimulating the dairy industry, problems of the dairy cattle breeding system, ways to eliminate problems, as well as improvement of the dairy cattle breeding system in the country. The best breeding systems practicies are also widely covered in order to improve the possibility of breeding elements that are suitable for our conditions in the future.

The article considers the development of cooperative relations in agriculture in modern conditions. The advantages of merging producers in cooperatives in the agricultural sector, are explained. Progress in the formation of the legislative framework for the development of agricultural cooperation in Azerbaijan is revaled and the current situation of cooperatives in the agricultural sector is analyzed.

The article considers the issues of monitoring the implementation of production goals in the agricultural sector. The requirements for monitoring in this direction are analyzed. The principles, stages and objects of monitoring in the agrarian sphere of Azerbaijan are indicated. At the same time, the main directions of monitoring the production goals in agriculture are being studied. The article uses comparative analysis, logical generalization and grouping methods. As a result of the study, recommendations were made for the effective organization and conduct of monitoring in order to increase the efficiency of the agricultural sector.

At the present stage, the development of agro-industrial production in Azerbaijan is aimed both at meeting domestic needs and at expanding exports. Today, our country is actively promoting the national brand Made in Azerbaijan in foreign markets, expanding the geography of export. The introduction of export incentives for persons engaged in the export of non-oil products has significantly increased the domestic production and export of these products. For this very purpose, an association of producers and exporters of wine, pomegranate, hazelnuts, fruits and vegetables, persimmons, bee products, etc. was established. It should be noted that domestic products under the Made in Azerbaijan brand have already been exhibited at many international exhibitions. Trading houses of Azerbaijan have been established in some countries. In addition, for the rational use of the potential of import substitution, ensuring food security and increasing export potential, work continues on the creation of agricultural parks.

Indicators of the sustainability of the development of grain farming in the modern era also reflect the degree of reliability and efficiency of economic activities in agriculture. At the same time there is a need for a comprehensive analysis of all factors that directly or indirectly affect the indicators of the grain industry and the grain market. The article analyzes the role of the grain market in the development of the grain sub-complex in the agro-industrial system as well as its impact on the increase in production and on the results of the activities of grain producers to ensure food security and also considers issues related to the development of the grain market.

Determining the prospects for the development of self-employment in the agricultural sector involves the characterization of many different factors. The presented article examines the issues of assessing self-employment opportunities from the point of view of supporting positive trends in the structure of employment and the level of employment in rural areas. The influence of the priorities of the state employment policy on the promising parameters of the development of self-employment in the agricultural sector has been investigated.

The processes occurring in the characteristics of self-employment in rural areas in the context of the use of digital technologies are traced. The attitude to the prospects for the development of self-employment in the agricultural sector is expressed in the event of the realization of potential opportunities and the implementation of planned activities.

The purpose of the study is to determine the place and role of the public-private partnership (PPP) factor in the development of the digital agricultural economy. The research was carried out on the basis of observation methods, scientific abstraction, systematic analysis, comparison and logical generalization. The result of the study is to determine the necessary measures to improve the efficiency of PPP projects in the digital national agricultural economy. The limitations of the study are the incompleteness of the database and the asymmetry of information. Practical significance of the study: the results can be used in the development and implementation of measures to improve the efficiency of PPP projects in the digital agricultural environment. Scientific novelty and originality of the study: assessing the possibilities of PPP in the digital agrarian economy and developing measures for their implementation.
