As part of the project implementation a trip for participating farmers was organised to visit the main agriculture provinces Tuv, Selenge and Darkha-Uul in August this year. Over 50 vegetable farmers from Khentii, Dornod, Sukhbaatar, Dornogovi, Umnugovi, Khovd, Uvs, and Tuv aimags, also Ulaanbaatar, Erdenet and Darkhan cities took part in the trip and exchanged their experiences. As part of the programme the “Greenhouse Extension Centre” of Zuunmod soum, Tuv aimag was visited. There are very few professional farmers who use right technologies for greenhouses around central agricultural area and this new Greenhouse Extension Centre is being sought after by many farmers offering necessary knowledge transfer for modern greenhouse farming.

One of the participants Ms.Alimaa remarked; “As a result of visiting the Green-House Extension Centre I understood that we need to learn a lot in order to increase the productivity and effectiveness of greenhouses”. The Extension centres are aimed at introducing new technologies and provide capacity building training courses and are in the main agricultural areas of Mandal and Shaamar soum of Selenge aimag, Orkhon soum of Darkhan-Uul aimag, and Bornuur soum of Tuv aimag.

After visiting the center, the attendees traveled to the vegetable warehouse, located at the Selenge market, Songinokhairkhan District. The aim of this stop was to get introduced to the operations of “Tsever khursnii shim” the secondary cooperative, that was formed by over 100 vegetable growers from 8 soums of Selenge, Darkhan, Tuv and Orkhon aimags. Farmers supply 6 types of vegetables, such as potato, cabbage, carrots, turnips, onions and garlic through their cooperative to the Nomin department store branches without any middle men. The term “secondary cooperative” is fairly new for farmers and the aim of the visit was to demonstrate possibilities for vegetable marketing and sales and inform participants on logistics required, consumer standards followed by big supermarkets and daily operations of vegetable marketing cooperative.
