the surveyd crop farmers have<br />
comparable high revenues<br />
showing that well managed<br />
cultivation agriculture can<br />
significantly contribute to<br />
poverty alleveation.<br />
Five households had taken bank loans for crop farming purposes. The amount of loans span<br />
from 900,000 to 1,300,000 MNT and were allocated by the sum’s KHAAN Bank. Loans are<br />
received in spring and spent for fertilizer, ploughing, cultivation and so on and have to be<br />
repaid after harvest sales.<br />
Cooperation among households<br />
The survey showed that most households do not cooperate in any sphere of crop farming such<br />
as irrigation, cultivation, harvest and so on Fig. 66. The farmers explained that cultivation<br />
should start almost at the same time for all -if they cooperated and worked on the fields<br />
together, the one whose fields were cultivated at last would be too late. Only one household<br />
responded that it was cooperating with a kin, supporting each other in irrigation, cultivation<br />
and marketing. This household also owned many livestock which were herded in summer by<br />
another herder’s household.<br />
