Growing demand for agricultural products and solving the problems of food security of the countries of the world require the introduction of new technologies in the agroindustrial complex, contributing to improved productivity and food quality. According to a worldwide survey of PwC Digital IQ for 2017, IoT technologies are in the first place in the ranking, taking into account the level of investment in innovation that can change the business models of companies. In this regard, the article discusses the directions of development of IT-technologies in the agro-industrial sector and the dynamics of investments for 2014-2016, as well as the stages of the introduction of ITtechnologies in yield management in the farm. Particular attention is paid to the implementation in Russia of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the implementation of the international program of agricultural robotization, Ural Cognitive Agro. The main barriers to the implementation of automation in rural areas and the need to expand the activities of operators from the provision of communication services to complete solutions for the agricultural sector in the field of IoT have been identified.

In this paper, approaches to state management of rural development are considered. The indicators characterizing the development of rural areas of the Russian Federation in the context of Federal districts are studied. It is concluded that the previously implemented Federal targeted programs aimed at the development of rural areas have not led to significant results. The study assessed the adopted state program of integrated development of rural areas in the Russian Federation. As factors that reduce the effectiveness of the adopted program, identified: insufficient funding; the lack of a unified system of indicators characterizing an integrated socio-economic development of rural areas, used both at the stage of programme planning and at the stage of monitoring the status of the village; lack of operational system of monitoring of the current state of rural areas and effective mechanism of interdepartmental coordination in the framework of realization of measures on development of rural areas. The algorithm of development of the state program of development of rural territories on the basis of the methods used by the commercial organizations within construction of system of the balanced indicators (BSC) is offered). Keywords-rural areas; the state program, the analysis of the results of the balanced scorecard.

The purpose of the article is a conceptual analysis of the development of strategies for the territory development with a special economic regime. The main provisions for determining the competitive advantages of territory development are argued. The authors proceed from the hypothesis that the sustainable development of the territory is based on a single, interrelated and mutually dependent consideration of its economic, environmental and social subsystems. A schematic relationship between the territory's competitiveness, development strategy, and the competitive advantage of preferential treatment is presented. The author analyzes the choice of instruments for preferential regimes and measures to support economic activity, taking into account the peculiarities of the territory. The article considers the composition of territories with a special economic regime in the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the Russian experience of forming special economic zones with preferential regimes in the context of applying situational fragmented management. It is concluded that it is necessary to switch to strategic planning of preferential regimes in order to assess the competitiveness of territories and the possibility of achieving socio-economic goals under constantly changing external and internal conditions. The author substantiates the importance of combining the developed strategies for the development of special economic zones with regional strategies.
