Mongolia Looks to Improve Agricultural Sector

During Parliament’s recent session, issues confronting agriculture in Mongolia were discussed. Importantly, economic growth in the agricultural sector was 2.8% higher this year than in the January through October period of 2015. This is contrast to many export sectors which saw a decline.

The government of Mongolia is implementing policies to support production of agricultural products in Mongolia. In each of 2012, 2014, and 2015, Mongolia produced the highest recorded crops yields in 25 years.

The government is seeking ways to promote Mongolian livestock and agricultural products to increase competitiveness globally and to meet international standards

Policies implemented by the government include discussions with China to promote meat export to China, and the government is pursuing a policy to provide herders and farmers with soft loans.

With all this in mind, it’s looking like a very good time to make a new investment in Mongolia in the farming and animal products sectors.
