“…In addition, 92% of the fruits grown in Mongolia are sea buckthorn, and the remaining 8% are apples, cherries, currants, blueberries, and plums [16]. The appearance of apples, pears, and bananas was selective among the respondents, indicating that there was little public awareness of the fruits grown in Mongolia, that imported fruits were used for consumption, and that poor quality or cost due to transportation and storage of domestically produced fruits may be the reason for the low consumption [16,17]. The low consumption of vegetables in urban areas is likely to be due to seasonal crops and rising prices for imported vegetables, while in rural areas, especially in suburban soums, food safety and road transport issues are related to the above-mentioned reasons [17].…”

(1) Background: The “Ger Recommendations” have been advised to promote a healthy diet in Mongolia. These recommendations emphasize the ratio of six macro-food components to ensure proper nutrition. In this study, the ratio of these six groups to the total daily caloric intake was determined. (2) Methods: This study was conducted as part of a study at the Clinical Cohort (“Mon-Timeline”) of the Mongolian National University of Medical Science. A macro-community ratio was calculated using a 24-h dietary recall diary of a total of 498 people. (3) Results: The mean age of the study participants was 43.9 ± 12.9 years. Among them, 21.8% (n = 110) were male. Of the total calories, 44.7% were grains, 29.2% were meat and protein products, 9.3% were fats, 7.1% were dairy products, 6.6% were vegetables, and 3.1% were fruits. According to the ratio of the six groups in the Ger Recommendations, meat and grains exceeded the recommended amount, while fruits, milk, and vegetables were consumed less. It has been observed that the older a person ages, the closer they are to following these recommendations. In terms of gender, women consumed more fruit and milk than men. (4) Conclusions: The ratio of macronutrients in the daily caloric intake of Mongolians is inadequate. Therefore, knowledge about the “Ger Recommendations” needs to be studied in relation to people’s healthy eating knowledge and attitudes. If necessary, the appropriate awareness needs to be increased to educate the public on proper eating habits.

Considering the limitation of resources in agriculture, the need to shift the method of higher productivity through increasing inputs into improving the technical efficiency is becoming more important. Since potato production is one of major agricultural activities in Bamyan province which supports the livelihood of the majority of the peasant community and more thane50% of the country’s total potato production is produced here, the province has the most prominent position compared to other provinces in this regard. The current study aimed to determine the technical efficiency of potato farms and the influencing factors in Yakawlang district and Bamyan center. The required were collected using stratified sampling method by filling questionnaires with 286 potato farmers in 2019. To determine the technical efficiency of potato production, Cobb- Douglas stochastic frontier production function along with inefficiency function were applied. The results showed that the inputs such as area under cultivation, labor force, amount of seed, amount of DAP fertilizer and animal manure had positive and significant effects on potato production. The mean of technical efficiency was 71.5% varying from the lowest of 26.9% to the highest of 92.7% was calculated. the inefficiency model also revealed that the variables marital status, living area, meeting with the extension workers year-round and satisfaction from the sale method of potato had positive effect on the level of technical efficiency of potato farmers. Based on the results, the qualitative and quantitative betterment in extension training programs coupled with DAP fertilizer and animal manure can be the managerial measures.
