| Summary: | The agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors of the national economy, as its efficiency
can determine the overall state of the country’s economy and has a decisive impact on food supply
levels and the well-being of the population. Therefore, studying ways to increase labor productivity in
agricultural enterprises is particularly important. It determines the pace of expanded reproduction in these enterprises and the full satisfaction of the population’s demand for agricultural products. This is
especially relevant in the context of strengthening the country’s food security and pursuing an import
substitution policy. Currently, labor productivity in Azerbaijan’s agricultural sector is low compared to
that of other countries. The main reasons for this include a lack of qualified personnel, underdeveloped
production culture, and insufficient advancement in technology and digitization. Therefore, the primary
priority today is to address and eliminate these issues.
Relevance of the topic. At present, increasing labor productivity in local enterprises, including
agricultural enterprises, is receiving significant attention. In this context, the role of innovations must
be given special consideration. The application of innovations in agricultural enterprises primarily
involves the use of new technologies, more productive breeds and plant varieties, and biotechnologies
that enable the production of higher-quality, more beneficial products. It also includes the introduction
of new technical means for soil cultivation, the cleaning and storage of raw materials, energy-saving
technologies in production, and environmental innovations that enhance productivity, minimize costs,
and ensure environmental safety. Given these advantages, the application of innovations plays a crucial
role in increasing labor productivity. Therefore, conducting research in this direction has become
increasingly urgent and necessary.
The purpose of the article is to study the role of innovations in increasing labor productivity
in agricultural enterprises. It also aims to explore the directions of innovation-oriented development
in these enterprises, as well as the main forms, methods, and mechanisms of state stimulation. The
article highlights the development of innovation policy and the achievement of its strategic goals
as key conditions for increasing labor productivity in the agricultural sector. These strategic goals
include enhancing national competitiveness through innovations—particularly those that are directly
relevant to agricultural producers—and identifying and supporting high-tech sectors that can drive
rapid economic growth.

Scientific innovation. The article examines the specific features of the innovation process in
agricultural enterprises compared to other sectors of the economy. It explores the ways of increasing
labor productivity in these enterprises and identifies the advantages brought by innovation. It is argued
that one of the key benefits of innovation is its ability to enhance the efficiency and productivity of
agricultural enterprises. Through innovative technologies and methodologies, these enterprises can
reduce costs, increase productivity, and optimize their production activities. The article emphasizes
that innovation has always been a driving force behind progress and success in various sectors of the
economy—and the agricultural sector is no exception. As the global population continues to grow, so
does the demand for food and other agricultural products. To meet this increasing demand, agricultural
enterprises must enhance their competitiveness, and one of the most effective ways to do so is through
innovation. |
