Land titles and fees<br />
All survey involved farmers held official land titles for crop and hay fields. The six<br />
households in total possessed 14.6 ha of farmland and 16.4 ha land for hay making. In Khovd<br />
sum, where the fields are located, the farmers pay 8,000 MNT /ha land fee per year. The<br />
households stated that in 2005 they had paid the total sum of 302,000 MNTto the Khovd sum<br />
budget. Some households claimed that the amount they had to pay was higher than the official<br />
land fee.<br />
Need for expansion<br />
Three households responded that they needed more farmland for expansion. The others did<br />
not have such desire considering they had enough land. Those households who wished to<br />
cultivate more land responded that they needed in total 8 ha additionally, which is about 2.6<br />
ha per household. Three households had already submitted their request to the sum<br />
administration for more farmland. According to the sum’s agricultural specialist, there are<br />
several households in the sum willing to involve in crop farming in case irrigation problems<br />
are solved.<br />
