Abstract
The article is dedicated to exploring the potential of implementing blockchain solutions in the practices of large agro-industrial holdings. A critical review of the literature was conducted to systematize key trends in this area. Unresolved issues related to ensuring transparency, security and efficiency of business processes in the agro-industrial complex (AIC) have been identified. An original conceptual model for integrating blockchain technologies into the holding’s management system was proposed. The empirical base consisted of data on the activities of 20 leading agro-industrial companies in Russia for the years 2019–2023. Methods of statistical and econometric analysis, as well as case studies, were applied. Assessments of the impact of blockchain solutions on the key performance indicators of holdings were obtained. The correlation coefficient between the level of blockchain implementation and asset profitability was 0.78 (p < 0.01). The prospects for scaling the proposed model, taking into account the specifics of the industry, were substantiated. The research results are significant for the strategic development of the agro-industrial sector in the context of the digital transformation of the economy.
