Abstract: Digital innovations are increasingly being used in Russian agriculture. At the same time, there is practically no methodology for determining the effectiveness/efficiency of the introduction of digital technologies, which would allow taking into account all the effects of digitalization, which are not always explicit. The purpose of this study is to analyze existing methods for evaluating the effectiveness of innovations, as well as to develop an author's methodology that allows taking into account these effects. Abstract-logical method, method of expert estimates, monographic method, computational-constructive method were used to solve this problem. As a result, a methodology is proposed for determining the effectiveness of digital innovations based on an improved criterion - "the difference in the reduced costs" in the basic and project versions. In contrast to the traditional one, this methodology includes the secondary coefficients to the cost items that determine the change in these items when using digital technologies, and are determined by experts. These correction coefficients are of a regional nature, since the effects of digitalization are determined by such factors as the quality and mechanical composition of soils, the length of the rutting fields, relief, water regime, and others. In order to obtain objective values of the coefficients, actual material on changes in the values of various types of costs from different regions must be collected. After summarizing this information, correction coefficients for various regions can be derived and officially approved, which will allow the most objective determination of the effectiveness of the introduction of digital innovations in the conditions of this region.
