Agriculture is one of the key branches of the country's economy, as it provides the population with food, raw materials and other resources. Particularly important is the role of innovative information and communication technologies in the development of agricultural production, which allow optimizing production processes, increasing productivity and efficiency, as well as ensuring sustainability in the development of the agricultural sector. The research used general scientific (generalization, comparison, induction and deduction) and empirical-theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis). The use of system-structural and comparative analysis made it possible to distinguish the main features of the development of the innovative information and communication system of agricultural production in China and Ukraine. It was found that the use of Internet technologies in agriculture contributes to solving various problems in the field of food security. It has been established that China has a much more developed agricultural sector, modern infrastructure, large production capacity and actively uses innovations. It was determined that Ukraine faced a number of problems: outdated infrastructure, insufficient financial resources for the development of agriculture and insufficient state support, however, it has prospects for the development of organic production and the domestic market for the sale of agricultural products, which may become important factors for its development in the future . It has been established that the innovative information and communication system in China's agriculture is a key factor in achieving sustainable development, ensuring food security and growing the country's economy. Based on the analysis, conclusions and recommendations were formulated regarding the improvement of agricultural development and the introduction of an innovative information and communication system in Ukraine. It was found that borrowing the experience of China (from the use of modern ICS technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies; GPS navigation systems for more accurate sowing of seeds and application of fertilizers in accordance with the needs of the land; unmanned aerial vehicle systems in presowing soil cultivation, fertilizer application, pest control and other aspects; soil testing systems; crop growth monitoring systems, etc.) taking into account its successes in the agricultural sector and the application of innovative approaches, will help to ensure a more successful development of agriculture in Ukraine, however, when implementing of China's experience, Ukraine must take into account its own conditions and peculiarities, since the cultural, economic and political contexts of both countries are different
