Supply of Agricultural Machinery
• 725 tractors, 550 combine harvesters are to be imported
• 70-80% of agricultural machinery require renovation
![Page 16: Agricultural policy of Mongolia enhancing productivity of ......the Food and Agriculture Sector • The Sector accounts for more than 20 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051907/5ff9e01ea692b374d068f795/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
To reach irrigation on 54.2 thousand ha
• Renovate irrigation system on 10 thousand ha
• Build new irrigation system on 22.0 thousand ha
• Make water reservoir with capacity of 15 mio sq. m

Seed Supply
• Drought resistant, high quality varieties of wheat seeds for Mongolia’s harsh climatic conditions will be imported, as follows:
� 2008 - 6000 tons;
� 2009 - 5000 tons;
� 2010 - 4000 tons;
• Technical assistance is required for strengthening the capacity of the Seed Multiplication Centers;

Conclusion
Mongolia has vast potentials for the improvement of Agro-Production. The following problems and constraints hinder the improvement of both sub-sectors, Cropping and livestock
� Poor infrastructure- Road, bridge, irrigation systems
� Lack of safety and quality control
� Storage and transportation facilities
� Inappropriate loan portfolio
� Low level of education
� Lack of improved seeds, fertilizers and pesticides
