In volume terms, production of coal, iron ore, and petroleum have increased rapidly over the past decade while gold has declined (Table 4.7). In the future, copper production should increase quickly as commercial production at Oyu Tolgoi started in 2013. Various reports indicate that the decline in gold production may be less than official statistics indicate; illegal mining, which avoids royalties and environmental laws, has increased although the State has been making efforts to improve regulation of the sub sector.

Agriculture |
Relevant information

Most of the land in Mongolia is potentially suitable to agriculture, but the harsh climate, particularly the cold winters, short growing seasons, and low rainfall, make production difficult, and yields remain low compared to other countries. Furthermore, while livestock rearing continues to dominate agricultural production, the increase in the number of animals over the past few years (particularly goats and sheep) has led to problems with overgrazing, especially around villages. In addition, particularly severe winter weather (dzuds) in some years can cause livestock losses, such as the 2009/10 winter, which contributed to a decline in stocks of cattle (16%), goats (29%), and sheep (25%) (Table 4.2).
