The Government launched a number of nationwide, medium term programs for the development of specific sectors and for implementation of Government policy. However, due to financial constraints, the implementation of all goals and tasks set for the programs has not been possible. The Green Revolution Program, started in 1997 and the White Revolution Programs from 1999 are well known in the farming sector.
Under the Green Revolution, about 45 agro-parks were established, where pilot demonstrations are being implemented. These agro-parks are now merged with the Agriculture Extension Centres. As per the Government Action Plan Implementation Report of 2003, in total, 198.400 households in 21 aimags and over 300 soums participated in the White Revolution program while the Green Revolution Program covered 2400 business and 121.000 households. These programs had a positive impact on rural poverty alleviation and increased employment.
