AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX 4.0: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN THE AGRARIAN ECONOMY

In this paper, we considered the aspects of forming the digital agrarian economy in India and China. We chose these countries as subjects of the experimental research due to their quick economic growth, including agriculture. We demonstrated that the implementation of the complexes of technologies of agro-industrial complex 4.0 in the two selected countries was accompanied by an increase in external integration and internal economic growth. Despite the general similarity of the sets of knowledge management technologies, which are used in the digital agrarian economies of the two countries, there are essential differences in their models. China ensured the implementation of ICT with a focus on the growth of competitive advantages in external markets, while India created a model of a digital agrarian economy in which all its participants work towards a common synergetic effect. The objective of this work was to identify the key directions for the formation of agro-industrial complex 4.0, which is based on knowledge management, in countries with a high level of digital agrarian economy formation. The novel approach of this work lies in the elaboration of the theoretical aspects of the identification of the digital agrarian economy models in the modern conditions for comprehensive implementation of knowledge management technologies.
