Agricultures
In the midst of loss of harvest, default in operation and decline in farming sector, Gatsuurt LLC’s goal has been to develop agricultural sector for the long-term prosperity rather than short term profit. Since 2002 we have invested more than 500 billion MNT until now and intensified our operation in farming and animal husbandry.
We purchased “Bayandulaan Uul” LLC in 2003 and based on its existing resources, have been growing grain and vegetables on approximately 50,000 hectares of land covering main farming regions in Mongolia located in Tsagaannuur, Tushig, Khushaat, Altanbulag, Eruu, Saikhan, Shaamar in Selenge aimag and Khongor soum in Darkhan aimag.
“Gatsuurt” LLC’s investment and development has played historical role in recovery of agricultural sector. Therefore, promoted domestic production growth and opened up a possibility to provide population with healthy food. The soil has dark brown light clay mechanic composition.
The humus accumulation layer varies depending on the factor of the soil formation and landscape location, the thinnest is 30 cm and the thickest is 60 cm. It has a fertile soil. The landscape soil reaction environment of weak alkaline to weak acidic is best suited for cultivation.
