Abstract
This Presidential Decree primarily addresses the government's initiative to enhance agricultural efficiency through digital transformation. It emphasizes the integration of modern digital technologies into land and water resource management, aiming to improve data accuracy, reduce human error, and bolster food security. The policy framework involves establishing a unified Agroportal as a central digital platform, supported by the Agro-Industry Digital Centre, to facilitate services such as crop self-location, land use modification, and monitoring of agricultural activities. The Decree also outlines the creation of the National Food Security Commission to oversee price stability and crop production risks, with annual analyses conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and related agencies. Additionally, it mandates the digitalization of land regulation processes and the use of space-based monitoring tools, including drones and satellite imagery, to support crop forecasting and resource management. Key measures include the self-regulation of crop planting by agricultural organizations via the Agroportal, the establishment of digital services for credit provision and land use, and the development of an Agro-Industry Digital Centre to support domestic equipment and robotics deployment. The decree specifies institutional responsibilities, such as the Ministry of Agriculture's role in implementing land use policies and water management adjustments, with timelines set for 2025 and 2026. It also details procedures for contracting with the Single Operator for information system development, monitoring of digital service implementation, and the integration of space technology for resource management. Enforcement mechanisms involve oversight by the Office of the Prosecutor-General and coordination among various ministries, with responsibilities assigned to high-level officials to ensure effective execution. Secondary themes include procedural guidelines for contractual arrangements, amendments to existing legal acts, and the invalidation of certain prior decisions. The document emphasizes institutional coordination, data security, and stakeholder engagement, with specific timelines and responsibilities outlined to facilitate the digitalization process in the national agricultural sector.
