THE NEED TO DEVELOP A UNIFIED INFORMATION SYSTEM IN THE GRAIN MARKET AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT

The issues of developing a unified information system in the grain market and the digital transformation of transport and logistics infrastructure are gaining high importance in modern economic conditions. This issue is especially relevant in the Siberian Federal District, as the region is the largest grain producer. The level of development of transport and logistics infrastructure in the Siberian Federal District does not allow the subjects of the grain market to deliver large volumes of grain to the consumer promptly and on time via interregional links and for export, and the remoteness from the main sales markets leads to an increase in the price of grain due to high transaction costs. The article reflects the main indicators of grain production in Russia and the Siberian Federal District in dynamics for 2017-2021. The mechanism of organization of the digital system of transport and logistics infrastructure of the grain market is presented. The authors have identified the principles that determine the development of a unified information system for the grain transport and logistics infrastructure of the Siberian Federal District, their content. The study focuses on the prerequisites and the need for the use of digital technologies that facilitate the implementation of more efficient activities in the grain market, process the required amount of data in the shortest possible time and optimize transaction costs. The exchange of operational and reliable information between the subjects of the grain market is a success factor in the management of grain supply chains.
