I. Features of Mongolian nature and climates

Atmosphere of Mongolia

Mongolian territory is very far from the oceans, in the center of Eurasia, surrounded by high mountains,

average elevation of 1500 meters above sea level, and thereupon has an extreme continental climate.

The main feature of the climate in Mongolia is the four-seasons difference and in this way, air temperature

fluctuations is high, low precipitation and difference between latitude and elevation range, it is evident in

the climate. In Mongolia, has short and dry summer (from June to mid-August), very cold, long winter

(from November to April) and duration of spring and autumn fluctuates varies widely from year to year.

Air heat and cold

In Mongolia, average annual temperature is 0.2°С (32°F), average temperature in winter -10°…-30°С

(14°…22°F), in summer season 10°…27°С (50°…80°F). Average annual temperature is colder than–4°С

(24.8°F), within cold from –6°C to –7.40С (21.2…18.7°F) in mountain ranges and large river valleys, warmer

than 2 ° C (35.6 ° F) in the desert steppe zone and warmer than 6 ° C (42.8 ° F) in the southern Gobi. The

0 ° C line for the average annual air temperature is located desert steppe and north of the Gobi region in

Mongolia, it is 46 degrees of north latitude. Permafrost soils are distributed in the territory as annual

average temperature of the air is below -2 ° C (28.4 ° F). During winter the absolute low temperature

reaches -28 ° C to -54 ° C (-18.4 ° ...- 65.2 ° F) and In summer, absolute temperature reaches 30 ° C to 45 °

C (86 ° ... 113 ° F).

Precipitation

The total amount of precipitation is low in Mongolia, but amount of precipitation per year varies across

regions to cohere location of the mountains and their elevation. Particularly, Khangai, Khuvsgul, Khentii

mountain ranges, and large river valleys annual precipitation is 250-390 mm, Altain mountain range is 90-

130 mm, in steppe areas precipitation range is 180-280 mm per year. Like this, the amount of precipitation

decreases from north to south, lowest in the Gobi, it is 70-150 mm per year. In the Altai Govi Desert and

the southern boundary, there are 40-60 mm or less precipitation occurs.

General assessment of the soil and weather conditions

Mongolia's soil and light reserves are perfect for growing sugar beet. The maturation time of

sugar beet can be shortened to our country, but it is possible to solve the problem by using seeds

of early and middle-aged. The territory of Mongolia is located at forward of 520 and after 410

north of the globe, that’s strip of same latitude with sugar beet regions of Russia and Ukraine.

Thus, sugar beets planted in our country, it is clear that the harvest can be obtained.

Therefore, the sugar beet area may be placed in the main crop region of Mongolia as follows.

These include:

In main crop region, it is recommended to planting in springs or river valleys near streams

and streams that can be used for irrigating sugar beets. For that purpose, use of the

Orkhon, Selenge and Kharaa valleys is important for sugar beet planting by heat,

moisture, and soil.

In the Eastern region, to be possible farness area have good soil with humus, climate

relatively mild and humid. In this region, the maturation of sugar beet is longer and sum

of the temperature above 50C is 25000C.

In the western region of agriculture, the Great Lakes Depression and the Mongol Altai

Mountains, such as it is possible to planting sugar beet in Khovd aimag with irrigations.

Used on the oases of the Gobi region, there is a great chance to planting sugar beets with

irrigation, but ability to planting sugar beet in large areas is limited near the springs and

oases.

To assess and evaluate opportunities for sugar beet planting under Mongolian soil and climatic

conditions, that’s different in each crop regions. For the supply of irrigation water and

infrastructure supplies for sugar production, Crop central region will be significant leading role in

the planting of sugar beets. Eastern region is in next place, but there will be a need to develop

irrigated farming and preliminary conditions for establishing sugar production plant.

Bornuur soums of Tuv province and Yeruu and Bayangol soums of Selenge province. Total area is

484.3 thousand hectares. Connected with international railways and roads with central regions

provinces. Each year, there are cultivated grains and potatoes in 7,800 hectares.

Mandal soum has 136708 hectares of agricultural land, 309957 hectares of forest land, 2260

hectares of water reserves land, 21384 hectares of special needs land, 12826 hectares of village

land, and 1238 hectares of infrastructure land.

In geographically, is located in a forest steppe zone of 1000-2228 meters above sea level in Khan

Results of research planting sugar beets in Mongolia

The Government of Mongolia started in the 1990s, the program proposed, that’s planting sugar

beet and produce sugar and aimed at providing domestic production 40% of imported sugar and

sugar demand. Within the framework of this activity, the Zuunharaa city of Selenge province, to

restoration of 405 hectares of irrigation system in Shirkhentseg and in 1993-1996, it was possible

to harvest sugar beets in 200 hectares land and harvested 300 to 600 centners beets per hectare.

That was the first large-scale production and experiment of sugar beets planting by mechanized

in Mongolia's Central Crop Regions under production conditions.

Picture.5.Experiment of sugar beets plant (Zuunkharaa 1993-1996)

In addition, in 2014 the Ministry of Industry and Agriculture's decision, Scientist of Institute of

Agricultural techniques and technology, Institute of Plant and agricultural sciences, in Shariin Gol

and Zuunkharaa valley, nine types of beet varieties of Ukrainian and Polish beet (7 of which are

Ukrainian varieties) were planted in irrigation conditions in the 1.5 hectares of the area, with a

maximum yield is 25.0-35.0 tons per hectares.

Picture.6.Experiment of sugar beets. 2014-08-15. Shariin gol soum.

The results of these experiments are within the range of yield is 250-400 centner per hectares

and beet sugar content of 14 ... 23%. It shows that the sugar beet is to accept standard.

The first place was Ukrainian "Umansky ChS97", in second place is Ukrainian "Goliaf" varieties by

yield of sugar beet harvested from 1 hectare area. However, there is a lot of wild plants during

germination, so it is thought that the sugar beet harvest is reduced by 40%. The sugar content of

beet varieties varies between 15% and 22%, which is higher than the standard (more than 14%).

The demand for sugar in the western region is around 15 thousand tons per year and this demand

will increase further. Therefore, the project is expected to meet the demand for sugar in the

western region

The infrastructure, power, transportation,

telecommunications is relatively well developed in the

Khovd province and connected with the main paved

road with Ulaanbaatar city and China Republic. Khovd

province has 17 soums and 91 bags. Total population is

78449. The agriculture sector, which is the main

IV. Sugar consumption and market research

As we know, white powder is called sucrose. Carbohydrates consist of glucose and fructose are

combined. Sucrose are contained in most plants, but are mostly contained in sugar beets and

sugar cane. Therefore, 75% of the world's sugar produces from sugar cane. In 1747, knowing that

the sugar beet was contain sugar, and this plant became the raw material for the remaining 25

percent.

Mongolia imports 100% of sugar. Last year, our country imported sugar from 11 countries, with most of

it being imported from Thailand. In the first five months of this year, imports of sugar can be 46% by

Thailand, Guatemala and 21.6%, and India by 20%. In comparison with previous years, sugar imports

increased by around 20 percent and reached $ 9.8 million. In terms of size, increased by 21% and it is

reached 50.9 thousand tons.

Picture.10. Study of Mongolian price of sugar

As of the end of 2015, the average price of sugar was 1785 MNT, which reached MNT 2315 in

2016 and increased by 530 MNT (23.0%). This growth lasts to 2017, reaching 2625 MNT and has

increased by 47% since 2015.

In order to calculate population estimates from physiology, our country needs 130.0 thousand

tons of sugar a year. It is important to solve by domestic production not less than 50% of our

needs and Mongolia has enough reserves of soil and weathers to planting sugar beet and sugar

of beet is best quality.

Therefore, it is necessary to planting sugar beet in order to increase sugar production.
