Classification of agricultural risks of the digital economy

The current state of the agricultural complex is characterised by a high degree of instability. This sector of the economy is affected by a significant number of factors, both climatic and human-made. Uncertainty in the state and development of the industry creates risks. The digitalisation of all sectors of the economy, on the one hand, is designed to reduce risks; on the other, it itself is the reason that creates new risks. A review of the scientific literature indicates an increased interest in this problem. However, there is a lack of experience in linking agricultural risks to the risks inherent in the digital environment. Our research is aimed not only at identifying risks in the agricultural complex in the conditions of digitalisation but also at their classification and determining the most significant in the agricultural complex. We suggested that the agricultural complex risks are associated with the risks of the digital economy. The justification of the hypothesis was carried out using mathematical operations with sets. The calculations made it possible as the most significant to distinguish technological and social risks in the agricultural complex, the levelling of which is possible using digital information platforms.
