THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ON THE EFFICIENCY OF MILK AND MEAT PRODUCTION IN SMALL BUSINESSES

The article raises the problem of the impact of digital technologies on the efficiency of milk and meat production in small businesses. The authors argue that the future of milk and meat production at small businesses in Kazakhstan will be determined by the introduction of innovative technologies, sustainable farming methods and the development of new markets. Small farms have the opportunity to use new technologies to increase efficiency, improve product quality and expand their market presence. Government support and investment also play a key role in the development of the sector.

Innovations in meat production in Kazakhstan play a key role in increasing the competitiveness of local farms in the domestic and international markets. The introduction of modern technologies such as automation, digitalization and the use of biotechnologies makes it possible to improve product quality, reduce costs and minimize the negative impact on the environment. Government support and private investment in these technologies will also contribute to the development of the country's meat industry.
