| 520 | _aIn Mongolia agricultural sector contributes 35% in total gross domestic production. Out of total agricultural production, crop production sector contributes 20% which mainly includes cereals production. Crop farming at all levels in Mongolia needs high level of mechanization to avoid early frosts and to minimize the risks of crop loss. The country does not produce any agricultural machinery; instead all agricultural machinery and equipment are imported mainly from Russia and China. Lately, western technology-based machineries from Japan and Western Europe too have been introduced. This study was focused on evaluating present status, past and present trends and future changes necessary in agricultural mechanization in Mongolia. Three provinces were selected for in-depth analysis while whole Mongolia was considered for the general analysis by GIS and statistical means. The selected three provinces contributed 80% of the cereal production of the country. The primary and secondary data collected from 148 farmers, enterprises and extensions were used to analyse and organize status of; general statistics, crops, yields, machinery and cultivation practices used, mechanization level, facilities available, constraints, advantage and disadvantages in mechanization etc. GIS database and maps were created to simulate and highlight mechanization trends and to expose key mechanization and productivity improving indicators in order to analyse the situation with global reference. Farm power availability in Selenge (71 farm), Tuv (42 farm) and Bulgan (35 farm) were 0.422, 0.421 and 0.566 kW/ha respectively. Farm power in cereal production enterprises in over all study area was in the range of 0.304 - 0.333 kW/ha. The average farm power of potato, vegetables farmers were 1.962 and 4.06 kW/ha respectively. Main problems indicated for mechanization were finance difficulty, climate and environment hazards, too old technology, lack of finance maintenance and other support from the government. SWOT analyses conducted for Mongolia as a whole and for selected provinces in order to sketch out guidelines for future planning and to recommend necessary changes highlighted the short-term and long-term needs and actions necessary for selected provinces and for the country as a whole. Long term and low interest loan money to each type of farmers, supply of sprinkler (spray) irrigation system, hazards refund, seed or finance maintenance to big farmers, favourable government decisions on land management, reduced import tax for agricultural farm machinery and equipment, increased large tractors (150 hp) and agricultural machinery (seeders, sprayers, combines, and tillage equipment of lowest influence to soil) and proper marketing systems are some of them. | ||
