Abstract
The level of digitalisation in society, and particularly in agriculture, is a focus that attracts the attention of many researchers. The results of their research are transformed into programmes and strategic documents aimed at overcoming the digitisation gap by creating conditions for the implementation of digital technologies in agriculture. This report presents some of the results obtained with respect to a survey carried out among companies in the agricultural sector, and mainly the livestock sub-sector. The data show a relatively low level of digitization and readiness for investments in this area. There is also a direct correlation between the size of enterprises in terms of staff number and the pursuit of digital transformation.
