Foodstuff Recommended Consumption (kg/month) 8 Actual Consumption (kg/month) Flour and flour products (in flour equivalent) 11.4 9.7 Vegetables 6 1.7 Potatoes 3.6 2.6 Fruits and berries 8.4 0.4 Table 2:Monthly Adult Foodstuffs Consumption, National Average (2002) Source: GOM (2003:10) In 1997 the Government of Mongolia approved the “Green Revolution Program”, aiming at improving the production of vegetables and potatoes and at reducing unemployment and poverty in rural areas. The mid- and long-term strategy of the Government is to revive crop production, to increase harvest yields and to support irrigated agriculture, in order to ensure food security and meet domestic demands (GOM 2003:120ff.). On the institutional level, the new “Law on Land”, the “Law on Land Ownership for Mongolian Citizen“ (2003) and the “Law on Cultivation Agriculture” (2004) were implemented to allow land ownership and possession. According to these laws, Mongolian households in Ulaanbaatar are entitled to own 0.07 ha of land, in Aimag centers 0.35 ha and in sum centers 0.5 ha free of charge. Additionally land up to 30 ha for vegetables cultivation and up to 100 ha for cereal cultivation can be possessed by households on a priority base (Land Law 29.3) The laws also provide the possibility to conclude contracts on land lease with legal persons (mongolian and foreign). In general, land may be leased for a period between 15 and up to 60 8 The recommended consumption is taken from recommendations adopted by resolution Number A/318 of the Healthand SocialWelfare Minister of 1997 (GOM 2003:9). 18
years with a single extension of up to 40 years (Batsaikhan et al. 2006). The leasing fees are fixed by the local authorities. 6. Cultivation Agriculture in Western Mongolia In 2001 the Parliament of Mongolia approved the “Regional Development Concept” 9 . According to this Concept, Mongolia is divided into fourregions (Western, Khangai, Central, and Eastern) and the CapitalUlaanbaatar (see Map.2). Source: Geographical Atlas, 2003 Map 2: The Four Development Regions of Mongolia The promotion of irrigation agriculture, mobile animal husbandry, and small and medium enterprises is the priority goal for the development of the western region. It consists of the aimags Khovd, Uvs, Zavkhan, Govi-Altai and Bayan-Ulgii with a total population of 409,000. The aimag center of Khovd was chosen as primary center for the region. In 2005 78% of the regions GDP were earned in the agricultural sector (NSOM 2006:119). However, most of the products are marketed unprocessed and value adding is low. 9 see http://gate1.pmis.gov.mn/mofa/eng/?leftid=74of July 30,2006 19
