Abstract
his article explores the integration of digital solutions to enhance the sustainable development
of agribusiness through the activation of the introduction of intellectual capital. The analysis is
carried out taking into account various factors affecting yields, such as soil type, fertilizer use,
market prices, employee education level, product demand, and automation level. The level of automation,
the use of geographic information systems, access to big data, and hours of employee training were
chosen as factors of intellectualization. Random forest, ARIMA, SARIMA, and LSTM models were
used to predict yields. The data were taken from the statistical portals of Armenia and Georgia (137
observations). The results of the study show that the LSTM model demonstrated the best prediction
accuracy with an average absolute error of 8.30 and a standard error of 102.47. The random forest
model showed an average absolute error of 24.87 and a standard error of 828.23, while the ARIMA and
SARIMA models did not show significant results. The study revealed significant correlations between
digital solutions characterizing the level of intellectual capital in agricultural enterprises and agricultural
land productivity, including the level of automation and access to big data. Analysis was also conducted
on the impact of intellectual capital on the sustainability of agribusiness, including the impact of the
level of education and training hours of employees. It is concluded that the integration of innovative
technologies, such as big data and automation, contributes to improving the efficiency of agricultural
production.

Iintellectual capital in agribusiness: integrating digital solutions for sustainable development
1. Introduction
Research on intellectual capital in agribusiness is aimed at analysing the importance of digital
technologies and intangible assets in creating efficiency. In terms of economic aspects, we can highlight
the importance of knowledge, skills, and innovation in improving efficiency and productivity. The human capital of skilled workers, the structural capital of processes in the organization, and the relational
capital obtained from networks and partnerships contribute to the formation of intellectual potential
among agricultural producers (Scafarto et al., 2016; Zaytsev et al., 2020).
Automation, big data analysis, geographic information systems (GIS), and other digital solutions
help transform traditional farming practices into new forms of management while increasing the efficiency of business operations. Digital technologies make it possible to increase the return on control and
management of agribusiness, creating conditions for increasing yields, reducing losses, and increasing
the quality of resource use. Integration of digital solutions is necessary to solve problems related to resource reduction and the need to adapt new agricultural practices (Balaji and Mamilla, 2023; Shirokov
et al., 2023; Zaytsev et al., 2024).
The purpose of this article is to investigate the integration of digital solutions to increase the sustainable development of agribusiness through the introduction of intellectual capital. This study aims to
analyse the impact of various factors on yield, including soil type, fertilizer use, market prices, employee
education, product demand, and automation levels. The following methods are used to achieve these
goals:
- collection and analysis of statistical data from the statistical portals of Armenia and Georgia
- application of predictive models for yield analysis and forecasting
- correlation analysis to identify significant relationships between digital solutions and productivity
- analysis of the significance of the impact of intellectual capital on the sustainability of agribusiness
The object of this research is the agricultural enterprises of Armenia and Georgia that use digital
solutions and intellectual capital in their activities to support strategies aimed at achieving sustainable
development. The subject of this study is the factors influencing crop yields, their relationship with intellectual capital, and digital solutions in agribusiness. The research uses predictive models such as random
forest, ARIMA, SARIMA, and LSTM.
2. Literature Review
Intellectual capital is the basis for the development of many economic sectors, including agro-industrial production, where the integration of intellectual achievements, primarily digital solutions, is the
basis for increasing the sustainability of agribusiness. In the context of agribusiness, intellectual capital
includes components that affect the yield and overall development of agricultural enterprises. Table 1
presents the main components of intellectual capital, as well as highlighting aspects that can affect the
modelling of intellectual capital in agribusiness (Edvinsson and Malone, 1997; Sveiby, 1997).

Relational capital
Networks and communications,
access to information and technology
Access to big data
The efficiency of using intellectual capital and its impact on the sustainable growth of agribusiness
can be investigated with a focus on optimizing processes and using human capital to increase productivity. Digital transformation to improve the sustainable value of products and services of agri-food systems
can significantly improve the efficiency of supply chains, reducing gaps in access to information and
resources, especially for small producers (Balaji and Mamilla, 2023; Silva et al., 2022). The impact of
intellectual capital on the profitability of agribusiness companies has shown that structural capital and
human capital have the main impacts (Ovechkin et al., 2021).
By analysing the various components of intellectual capital, including human, structural, and relational capital, it is possible to identify their impact on companies’ financial performance. In practice,
researchers note that the impact of management measures on changing the structure of intellectual capital contributes to the growth of productivity and competitiveness of companies. In this context, it is
necessary to ensure the development of new approaches for assessing and managing intellectual capital
in various sectors of the national economy, including the agro-industrial sector (Pedro et al., 2018; Xu
and Liu, 2020). It is proposed to identify the contribution of intellectual capital to several key indicators
of agribusiness (Table 2).

The focus on the components of intellectual capital in the context of their role in ensuring sustainable development makes it possible to form models for managing the processes of intellectualization.
A particularly clear manifestation of intellectual capital is positively noted for small and medium-sized
enterprises, where investment in human and structural capital contributes to improving the competitiveness of companies. At the same time, depending on the size of the business and the scope of economic
relations, it is possible to adapt various methods for evaluating intangible assets and intellectual capital
(Gołacka et al., 2020; Osinski et al., 2017). Consequently, it is possible to develop and apply methods
for evaluating and managing intellectual assets, including analysing digital solutions that affect the performance of agribusiness entities.
Digital solutions are being actively implemented in the economic management of agribusiness,
ensuring the rationalization of management processes at different levels. To achieve these goals, many
enterprises attract financing, which makes it possible to activate innovative processes in agro-industrial
production. At the state level, the issues of financing innovative processes in the agricultural sector are
strategically important (Dumanska, 2018a, 2018b). These aspects define the role of intellectual capital
in the strategy of ensuring economic security, emphasizing the formation of potential for managing
intellectual resources in the context of achieving sustainable economic development and national security. To a large extent, it is necessary to use methods and tools that can be used to analyse and improve

The researchers propose methods for improving the innovation management systems in the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex. In order to increase the efficiency of innovation implementation
and improve management processes, one should turn not only to financing digital solutions but also to
creating conditions for managing digitalization processes (Zinina and Tezina, 2016). The use of digital
solutions can significantly improve the efficiency of agro-industrial processes, reduce gaps in access to
information and resources, and improve interaction between participants in the agri-food chain. It is proposed to highlight the impact of digital solutions on intellectual capital in agribusiness (Table 4).

These digital solutions and components of intellectual capital form the basis for improving the
efficiency and sustainability of agricultural enterprises. At the beginning of the 21st century, it was noted
that digital solutions and other intelligent aspects of farm management should be integrated in agriculture. In practice, this contributes to the development of small food enterprises. It is noted that various
aspects of management, including organizational culture and access to technology, directly affect the
implementation of innovations in small firms (Avermaete et al., 2003). To analyse the effectiveness of
intellectual capital in agribusiness, it is acceptable to use econometric methods that take into account
economic and technological factors that affect the productivity and sustainability of agribusiness entities. Based on digital solutions, it becomes possible to form networks of interaction between various
participants in the agro-industrial sector to assess their impact on the operational, financial, and social
indicators of enterprises (Asatryan et al., 2022; Rey et al., 2023).

3.1 Modelling
To achieve the goal of the study, predictive models were used that have unique characteristics and
methods of data analysis (Table 6).
3.1.1 Random Forest
The random forest model is an ensemble machine learning method that uses multiple decision trees
for predictions. Each tree is trained on a random subsample of data, and the final result is obtained by
averaging the predictions of all trees.
Advantages:
- Resistance to overfitting

Iintellectual capital in agribusiness: integrating digital solutions for sustainable development
- Ability to work with a large number of attributes
- High accuracy of predictions
3.1.2 ARIMA
The ARIMA model is used for time series analysis and forecasting. It combines autoregression,
integration, and moving average, which allows one to model data based on seasonal and time dependencies.
Advantages:
- Designed for time series analysis
- Takes into account seasonal fluctuations
3.1.3 SARIMA
The SARIMA model is an extension of the ARIMA model and includes additional parameters for
analysing time series with a particularly pronounced seasonal component.
Advantages:
- Accounts for seasonal changes
- Suitable for data with strong seasonality
3.1.4 LSTM
The LSTM model is a type of recurrent neural network designed to work with sequential data and
time series. LSTM is able to store long-term dependencies in data due to its memory cell architecture.
Advantages:
- Accounts for long-term dependencies
- High accuracy of predictions for time series
- Resistance to the problem of vanishing gradients

4. Results and Discussion
4.1 Results of Predictive Models
4.1.1. Random Forest
50
Sustain. Dev. Eng. Econ. 2024, 2, 3. https://doi.org/10.48554/SDEE.2024.2.3
Aleksanyan, V., Khachatryan, K.
The random forest model showed good results:
- Root mean square error (RMSE): 828.23
- Mean absolute error (MAE): 24.87
This model effectively takes into account many factors (Figure 1) that affect yield and can be useful for analysing the relationships between variables. The constructed model takes into account parameters for hyperparametric modelling, which allows initializing the random forest model and searching for
the best parameters using GridSearchCV.
Figure 1. Random forest results
4.1.2. ARIMA
The ARIMA model did not show significant results:
- Root mean square error (MSE): 7810.76
- Mean absolute error (MAE): 80.94
This model did not allow us to identify significant results, which may be due to the high complexity and non-linearity of factors affecting yield (Figure 2).

4.1.3. SARIMA
The SARIMA model also did not show strong results:
- Root mean square error (MSE): 3126.34
- Mean absolute error (MAE): 46.19
This model, despite taking into account seasonal fluctuations, could not take into account all the
factors affecting the yield (Figure 3).
Figure 3. SARIMA results
4.1.4. LSTM
The LSTM model demonstrated high accuracy:
- Root mean square error (MSE): 102.47
- Mean absolute error (MAE): 8.30
This model showed the best results among all the models considered, as it was able to take into
account long-term dependencies and nonlinear relationships between variables, taking into account the
scaling inversion for the predicted values (Figure 4).

5. Discussion
5.1. Model Comparison
The results show that the LSTM model is the most effective for predicting yield revenues of agribusiness enterprises. The ability of the model to process sequential data and take into account complex
time dependencies makes it important for conducting research in this area.
Mean absolute error (MAE) and mean square error (MSE) metrics were used to evaluate the predictions of various models. The results showed that the models have different degrees of accuracy in
predicting yield (Table 7).

The LSTM model showed the best results in comparison with other models, as it has low average
absolute error and root mean square error, which indicates the reliability of this model in predicting the
yield of agribusiness enterprises—that is, the efficiency of companies’ activities. The random forest
model showed good results but lost out to LSTM in terms of accuracy. ARIMA and SARIMA were not
able to adequately cope with the task of predicting yield in this study.
5.2 Impact of Factors on Yield
Analysis of the significance of various factors affecting yield showed that the following factors
have the most significant impact:
- A high level of automation leads to an increase in the efficiency of operations at agribusiness
enterprises, which has a positive effect on yields
- Using big data for analysis and decision-making allows us to more accurately predict and optimize processes
- High-quality training of employees contributes to improving their skills, which, in turn, improves
the results of their work
Figure 5 shows a graph of Shapley Additive Explanations values that reflects the impact of factors
on the yield prediction model. SHAP values show how much each feature affects the model output.

Key observations:
- Market_Prices – the impact of market prices on the yield prediction model is very positive, especially for high values of market prices (red dots).
- Big_Data_Access – Access to big data has a positive impact on model prediction, which highlights the importance of information and data in crop management.
- Competition and Demand factors have different effects on the model, which indicates a complex
interaction between market conditions and the performance of agricultural enterprises.
- Training_Hours – Employee training hours have a positive impact on model prediction, which
confirms the importance of human capital.
- Automation_Level – A high level of automation has a positive effect on the model’s predictions,
indicating the importance of technological equipment.
- Precipitation – precipitation show mixed effects, which may depend on specific climatic conditions and their impact on the crop.
- Education_Level – This has the least impact on the model’s predictions.
- The SHAP value graph allows us to quantify the impact of various factors on the yield prediction
model. Figure 6 shows a graph of the significance of traits that reflects the influence of the various factors on crop prediction. The graph shows the relative significance of each factor in the model used for
analysis.

Figure 6. Feature significance graph
Key observations:
- Market_Prices has the highest significance (about 0.35).
- Big_Data_Access is the second most important factor (about 0.2020).
- Competition and Demand factors affect the model with high significance (about 0.15 and 0.12,
respectively).
- Months and Automation_Level have a moderate impact, emphasizing the importance of seasonal
changes and the level of automation in the production process.
- Training_Hours has a noticeable impact.
- Anticipation has some influence on the prediction of the model.
- The Seed_Fertilizer_Cost, Farm_Workers, IoT_Usage, Fertilizer_Use, Soil_Type, Education_
Level factors are less significant than other factors but still contribute to the model.
6. Conclusion
The results of the study highlight the importance of intellectual capital in agribusiness. The level
of education of employees and their training have a direct impact on the efficiency of using digital technologies and, consequently, on productivity. The integration of innovative technologies, such as big data
and automation, helps to increase crop yields and improve the sustainability of agricultural production.
Digital technologies contribute to the sustainable development of agribusiness. The use of big data allows agribusinesses to analyse information for decision-making, which helps optimize processes and
reduce costs. Automation allows us to increase the efficiency of agricultural operations, reducing the
impact of the human factor and increasing productivity.
The study showed that the use of LSTM models for predicting yield gains is the most appropriate
(compared to the random forest, ARIMA, and SARIMA models). Significant correlations were found
between digital solutions (level of automation, access to big data) and productivity. Thus, it is possible
to develop some recommendations for agribusiness enterprises:
