Abstract: The digitalization of Russian agriculture, despite a lot of scientific and practical research on positive effects, comes across barriers, mainly associated with the high cost of technology, as well as the complexity of staffing. Nevertheless, the task of assessing the cost-effectiveness of introducing precision rural farming technologies is becoming more urgent due to the need to assess and predict the financial performance of farms as a result of the introduction of appropriate innovations. The multi-image of the effects of the introduction of precision agriculture technologies requires the development of a system of indicators that characterize the effectiveness of innovations in agriculture. As a development of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of innovations in accurate agriculture, it is proposed to use a cost-benefit analysis that allows assessing not only quantitative, but also qualitative effects. The main groups of stakeholders listed in the article (manufacturers, equipment suppliers, investors, the state) make it possible to specify the effects and costs. As the main methods, it is proposed to calculate the cost of net benefits and ROI, since they allow you to take into account the interests of manufacturers and investors. A systematic approach to assessing the effectiveness of the introduction of precision agriculture technologies allows us to develop a system of measures to support and stimulate innovation in agriculture.
