Abstract: The introduction of digital technologies in the dairy complex from the farm to the consumer significantly increases the stability of the functioning of the dairy supply chain. The development of digital technologies is most successfully carried out in long supply chains at all stages of product value creation of milk and dairy products. At short and alternative supply chains in which small business entities participate, the development of digital technologies remains low.The study was conducted in order to study the state of digitalization of the dairy complex of the Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation, assess the prospects for its sustainable development, identify problems and develop measures to stimulate the development of digital technologies. Digitalization of the supply chain makes it possible to increase customer orientation, to get information to consumers on each stage of the creation of dairy products in real time. Thermal sensors and electronic tags allow you to monitor compliance with quality standards and the promotion of dairy products along the cold chain from the farm to the consumer, fulfill the order on time, and regulatory authorities identify counterfeit dairy products. At this stage, the digital transformation of the short and ultra-short milk supply chain is fragmented and small business forms have significant financial barriers to the implementation of digital solutions. If these conditions are met, economic ties in the supply chain will be stable and of a regular, non-random nature.
