Farmers are actively compensating for human resource deficits by adopting new technologies. Recently, Jambaltseren Tumur-Uya, State Secretary of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, visited agricultural sites. During the visit, he met with farmers to hear their feedback and discuss support measures and incentives.The company “Orkhon Tushig Ugrats” leads the way in early watermelon harvesting this year. They use greenhouses to plant seeds first. Then, they transplant seedlings onto six hectares out of their total 10 hectares of land. Consequently, the farmers expect to start selling early-harvest watermelons by July 15, 2025. This method allows them to bring produce to market sooner than usual.
Moreover, the enterprise has started using gas-powered seeders to plant vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and beets. This technology helps farmers plant faster and more efficiently. As a result, they plan to harvest the crops with combine harvesters in autumn. This practice addresses the labor shortages often experienced during harvest season. It also reduces harvesting costs and lowers the overall value-added costs of vegetables. Therefore, consumers benefit from more affordable and fresh produce.
Additionally, the “Food Supply and Security” National Movement has provided incentives for vegetable cultivation over the last three years. These incentives have significantly increased farmers’ motivation. As a result, vegetable production has grown substantially. Farmers reported that domestic demand for certain vegetables can now be fully satisfied. This marks an important step toward national food security.
In summary, farmers compensate human resource deficit through technology and incentives. This combination improves efficiency, lowers costs, and meets growing consumer demands. The government continues to support these advancements by listening to farmers’ needs and offering relevant aid. Consequently, the agricultural sector becomes more resilient and productive each year.Farmers compensate human resource deficit through technology to ensure sustainable growth. With ongoing efforts, local production will likely strengthen food supply chains. This trend sets a positive example for other agricultural regions facing similar challenges.
