Mongolia is an incredibly shitty place to farm outside a couple of valleys with nice microclimates. There's very little infrastructure for the equipment and resources, and any farmers would be competing with Chinese farmers that don't have these constraints and can hit vastly lower price points. Farming is a difficult life in the best of situations, but not doing it in Mongolia is simply common sense.
