The study is an overview of the process of digitalization development as an important factor in the modernization of public administration of agriculture in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The hypotheses of this study are based on the analysis of the world practice of digital transformation of economic development and international cooperation of modern states. The research revealed that agriculture is a branch of the economy that is particularly in need of the introduction of information and communication technologies. The analysis of state programs and national projects of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides grounds for concluding that the digitalization of the Kazakh economy in agriculture is a priority. The dependence of the effectiveness of digital solutions in the agro-industrial complex on the level of organization of public administration is substantiated: digitalization resources contribute to a more focused and result-oriented public policy through the use of monitoring capabilities. Digitalization is a rapidly growing trend in agriculture, when it does not just replace analog technologies traditionally used in practice, but develops new development options for effectively solving problems in the industry. The study contains an analysis of the development of digitalization in the industry, taking into account the problems at all levels of the process – from issues of providing agricultural producers with an elementary level of access to the Internet and to improving the level of state management in the field of digitalization management.
