Peculiarities of Mongolian Kazakh farming

The purpose of the article is to describe the economy of the Kazakh ethnic group in Mongolia and demonstrate adaptation to modern changes. The article examines the issues of running the main economy of the Kazakh diaspora in Mongolia - semi-nomadic livestock and secondary – agriculture. Since the Kazakhs are concentrated in the western part of the country, namely in the Bayan-Olgii and Khovd aimags, the main attention is paid to the economy of the Kazakh ethnic group in this region and compared with other aimags of the country. Also considered are the methods of running semi-nomadic cattle breeding adapted to the geographical environment and local climate, which to a certain extent have undergone changes in the era of urbanization and globalization, but have not lost their traditional character. The growth of livestock, the indicator of livestock, and agriculture production are compared, and the factors that influenced it are identified.

The materials collected during the Mongolian complex expedition, which was conducted for several years, were used as the main source. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that, despite the trends of modern urbanization and globalization, the management of semi-nomadic livestock farming of Kazakhs in Mongolia is influenced by local climatic conditions, as well as the Mongolian-speaking population of the country engaged in similar farming and providing support from the state, which is one of the main directions of the development of the country's economy.
