Greenhouse farming to be developed. The Ministry of Food and Agriculture plans to increase greenhouse farming throughout the nation to see yields of 6,000 tons of domestically grown fruits and vegetables this year. The ministry believes that by developing winter greenhouse farming, Mongolia will be able to produce cucumber, tomato, peppers, strawberry and other vegetables and fruits beyond summer growing seasons, and replace around 20 percent of vegetables and fruits currently being imported. Past year, Mongolia harvested around 4,400 tons of vegetables from greenhouses which supplied some six percent of domestic vegetable consumption. According to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, around 1,000 entities and individuals are engaged in greenhouse farming, with more than 100 of them located in and near the capital city Ulaanbaatar.
