This study aims to determine and clarify the productivity and the factors influencing wheat production farms in Mongolia. Questionnaire surveys were conducted within 42 farms and used to analyze the data obtained in 2010. In this research, the main results are as follows: Large scale farms (more than 1,000 ha) have an average yield of 1.6 tons per hectare while medium (500 ha - 1,000 ha) and small scale farms (less than 500 ha) have 1.7 and 1.4 tons per hectare, respectively. Production cost per hectare of the 3 groups were compared. The large scale farms have 316.2 thousand tug per hectare, medium scale farms have 358.4 thousand tug per hectare, with 377.5 thousand tug per hectare for small scale farms. The analysis of land productivity of wheat found that the highest productivity is about 1.7 tons per hectare in a 900 ha cultivation area. Also the labor productivity was highest at about 0.2 tons per hour in a 1,200 hectare cultivation area. The results of analysis on factors that influence the land productivity of wheat shows that the factors with the highest impact are size of liquid capital goods. In conclusion, it is important that wheat production farms should have more liquid capital goods and efficient use of labor force.
