households responded that they face no problems with access to water. However existing irrigation channels and techniques are very insufficient. 6. 83% of the surveyed households support the reconstruction of Janjin Boolt headwork although they would not profit directly from its reconstruction. 17. Evaluation of Marketing Research in the Project Area and the Importance of Irrigated Agriculture to Improve Livelihoods and reduce Poverty (J. Hartwig andA. Ankhtuya) The field research results demonstrated clearly that cultivation agriculture in Buyant, Khovd, Myangad and Jargalant sum is increasingly contributing to food and income security of crop farming households. Besides, it also provides food for non-farming population on local, regional and partly national level and it contributes to an estimated 9% of the aimag’s GDP (seeChapter8). 17.1 Organization of Crop Farmers At present crop farming is carried out mainly by individual households. Statistics show that within Khovd aimag about 99% of potato, vegetables and melon harvest and 74% of cereal harvest originates from crop farming carried out by individual households (see Tab. 34). Total harvest (t) Company/Cooperatives/ Public Organizations (t) Individual households (t) Share of individual household’s harvest from total (%) Crops Vegetables and Melons 9,407 111 9,296 98.8 Potatoes 7,019 39 6,980 99.5 Cereals 613 157 456 74.3 Source: Statistics provided byaimagadministration Table 34: Harvest Shares ofCorporate and IndividualCrop Farmers Khovdaimag (2005) Nevertheless, in recent years more than ten crop farming cooperatives have been established within the Buyant River Delta in order to reduce transaction costs for cultivation, harvest, processing or marketing. Most of these cooperatives are made up of relatives. Interviews have shown that some cooperatives are highly effective and profit from cooperation, specialisation and distribution of labour and tasks. 150
17.2 Crop farming for household and market needs The majority of the crop farmers cultivates to market their crop harvest as well as to meet subsistence needs. An average household (with 4.8 members) in the Buyant River Delta needs to cultivate about 0.1 ha cropland to harvest the recommended amount of potatoes, vegetables and fruits to meet household’s needs. 33 In total, more than 90% of harvest is marketed -thus showing the strong market integration of local crop farming households. Revenues based on 2005/06 average prices and yields vary between 1,100,000 MNT /ha from cucumbers and 7,400,000 MNT /ha from tomatoes (see Tab. 35). Yields and revenues from tomatoes appear extraordinary high. As they are cultivated only in small amounts, this might as well be a statistical mistake. Potatoes, which are less irrigation intensive and comparably unproblematic to cultivate and store, enable revenues about 2,000,000 MNT /ha. They are planted on more than 37% of the total cultivated cropland and are the most favoured crops, followed by melons, carrots, and turnips.

This calculation is based on the average yields from the Buyant River Delta and the recommended consumption from the Government of Mongolia (GOM 2003). No difference was made between recommended consumption of children and adults. 151
