Minister for Defense L.Bold has
used his constituency allowance to establish greenhouses in Ulziit block of
Khan-Uul district, to provide vegetables to households and also to increase family
income. MNT400 million has so far been spent on 20 greenhouses spread over 15
hectares, digging wells and laying out an irrigation system, building storage facilities
for 100 tons of produce, and buying tractors and equipment. Each of 100 families
has been allotted 0.1 hectare and the whole program has been made part of “the
food security for vulnerable people” project. Each family is expected to make a
profit of MNT1 million.
The program manager has said 30
tons of cucumber will be harvested soon. Interested citizens can receive free
training in greenhouse farming techniques and growers will receive free seeds.
