Kaluga Region Ranks Among Russia's Top Three for Agricultural Digitalization
The region already uses autonomous tractors and is preparing to deploy its own agricultural drone unit.
Kaluga Region has ranked among the top three Russian regions for the pace of digital transformation in the agricultural sector, Governor Vladislav Shapsha said.
More than 5,000 hectares of farmland have already been cultivated using autonomous tractors. A local machine and tractor station has purchased 17 autonomous driving system kits for this purpose. An agricultural drone unit is also set to begin operations in the near future.
Agricultural businesses across the region use parallel guidance systems, satellite navigation to define field boundaries, and precision technologies for fertilizer application and crop spraying.
The results have earned high marks from industry experts.
