Implementation of Industry 4.0 principles in the development of agriculture as a tool for capitalization

Abstract.The article deals with the issue of implementing the principles of Industry 4.0 in the development of agriculture as a tool for capitalization. The authors emphasize that the implementation of Industry 4.0 principles in agriculture opens up new prospects for increasing the capitalization of agricultural enterprises. After all, the use of technologies such as automation, big data, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and precision farming systems allows farmers to reduce costs, optimize resource use, and increase productivity. These technologies provide precise monitoring and adaptation to changing field conditions, reduce the cost of fertilizers and energy resources, improving not only production efficiency but also the environmental impact of agricultural processes. In the course of the study, the authors emphasized that the integration of innovative technologies allows agricultural enterprises to increase the added value of their products, which increases their investment attractiveness and contributes to the sustainable development of the regions. The increase in capitalization due to high-tech production also creates new jobs and improves living standards in rural areas, which is an important factor in maintaining the stable development of the national economy. It is proved that the effective implementation of Industry 4.0 in the agricultural sector requires significant investments, including the development of infrastructure for digitalization, stimulation of investment and research activities. It is important to create favorable conditions for small and medium-sized businesses through government support and financial programs that will ensure technological progress at all levels of agricultural production. Thus, the need to capitalize agricultural enterprises by implementing the principles of Industry 4.0 is a key factor for their successful development, increasing their competitiveness in international markets and strengthening Ukraine's economic position on the global stage.
