Mongolia pledges all possible support to meet domestic food demand www.xinhuanet.com

Mongolia will provide domestic producers with all support possible to fully secure the domestic demand for food, President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh said Tuesday.
During a meeting with representatives of vegetable growers on the outskirts of the capital Ulan Bator, Khurelsukh pledged full assistance to them, saying that the government "will support the construction of refrigerated warehouses in all possible ways."
Mongolia imports about 40 percent of its annual vegetable demand, or about 70,000 tons, according to the presidential press office.
Recently, the president has proposed a "food supply and security" national campaign to develop agricultural clusters and establish food production complexes, so as to fully secure domestic supply for food and become a food exporter.

Number of endangered Przewalski's horses in Mongolia exceeds 900 www.xinhuanet.com

The number of endangered Przewalski's horses in Mongolia has exceeded 900, the Ministry of Environment and Tourism said Wednesday.
"This year marks the 30th anniversary of Takhi (Mongolian name of Przewalski's horse) reintroduction to Mongolia. Today, the population of the wild horses in the country has already exceeded 900," the ministry said.
A program to reintroduce Przewalski's horses to Mongolia dates back to 1992 when 20 Przewalski's horses were brought to the Khustai National Park and the Greater Gobi Strictly Protected Area in Mongolia from zoos in Europe and Australia, according to the ministry.
Before the program was launched, the last record of the Przewalski's horse in the wild occurred in the late 1960s in southwestern Mongolia, and thereafter no more wild horses were observed, according to a report published by the magazine of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 2012.
The Przewalski's horse is believed to be the last remaining wild horse species in the world.

Mongolia required to improve investment climate in order to utilize mineral resources www.montsame.mn

According to a study carried out on making investments in the mining sector, 79 percent of the participants have answered that they are ready to invest in Mongolia due to its abundant mineral resources.
However, it was discovered that the country has yet to create the sufficient conditions for foreign investment as policy and institutional factors are weak. Furthermore, the study’s participants noted how there are certain factors that cause the most difficulties, such as the limited accessibility of geological information, slow court proceedings, availability of infrastructure, and human resources.
The study was commissioned by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in cooperation with the Ministry of Mining and Heavy Industry, and conducted by Adam Smith International.
The findings of the ‘Mongolian Mining Industry and Supply Chain – Investment Climate Benchmarking Study’ were presented during a workshop, ‘Foreign Direct Investment in Mining of Mongolia’, that took place on May 17.
Noting that it was a timely study, Deputy Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry O.Batnairamdal underlined its significance for pinpointing where the country’s mining sector ranks among other countries, and prioritizing the issues faced by investors and entities. He said, “The Law on Foreign Investment that was adopted by Mongolia in 1993 is currently being revised. As the prices of the main mineral products are high on the global market at the moment, it is possible for investments being made in the sector to similarly increase.”
In the last three decades, the mining sector has had a crucial role in Mongolia’s economy, making up 25 percent of the GDP and 70-75 percent of foreign investments.
Head of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in Mongolia Hannes Takacs noted the opportunity for Mongolia to attract foreign investment and grow its economy by using mineral resources, and highlighted that it is possible to increase the likelihood of investment by resolving issues related to matters such as taxes, special permissions, and licenses.
The workshop was also attended by mining sector experts, project team members, and representatives of companies and stakeholders.

Appropriate mechanism needed for monitoring One Billion Trees national movement results www.montsame.mn

Today on May 17, Chief of Staff of the President’s Office Ya.Sodbaatar held a meeting with World Bank specialists led by the bank’s Regional Director for East Asia and Pacific Benoit Bosquet.
At the meeting, the sides exchanged views on expanding cooperation with the World Bank in the framework of the national movements, ‘One Billion Trees’ and ‘Food Supply and Safety’, initiated by the President of Mongolia.
Chief of Staff Ya.Sodbaatar expressed gratitude to the side of the World Bank for initiating consultative services and cooperating in developing the strategy and roadmap for the One Billion Trees national movement. During the meeting, they then held an extensive discussion on technical assistance, introduction of practices, and other types of support that could be provided by the World Bank in building the capacity of Mongolia’s forestry sector and developing agroforestry.
World Bank Regional Director for East Asia and Pacific Benoit Bosquet noted that the bank fully supports the objectives that have been set for the One Billion Trees national movement.
Underlining that the successful implementation of the One Billion Trees movement would increase the absorption of greenhouse gases in Mongolia alongside reducing its emission, the Regional Director highlighted the importance of introducing the appropriate mechanism for monitoring the results of the national movement.
He then informed that the objectives that have been set by the President of Mongolia for the issue concerning food supply and safety will be reflected in the projects and programmes being planned for the sector in Mongolia. The two sides agreed to focus on carrying out effective cooperative works and introducing a mechanism to assess its results, fully utilizing available resources and opportunities.

Average house price increases in Mongolia's capital www.xinhuanet.com

The average price per square meter of newly constructed apartments in Mongolia's capital reached 3.2 million Mongolian Tugriks (1,028 U.S. dollars) at the end of April, up 19.7 percent year on year, data released by the country's National Statistics Office (NSO) showed Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the average price per square meter of an old apartment in Ulan Bator stood at 3.01 million Mongolian Tugriks (967.5 U.S. dollars) at the end of last month, up 25.5 percent from the same period last year, the NSO said.
The significant increase is largely related to the spike in freight rates due to border restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to NSO experts.
Housing is one of the most pressing issues in Mongolia, especially in the capital city, home to over half of the country's population of 3.4 million. More than half of Ulan Bator's residents live in the city's ger districts, with no running water, central heating or sewerage systems.

Food production sector to receive comprehensive state support www.montsame.mn

President of Mongolia U.Khurelsukh is working in the country’s farming region, and holding meetings with representatives of entities in the farming sector.
In aims of fully meeting domestic demands for the 19 types of main food products and accelerating the development of animal husbandry and farming in the country, the President of Mongolia recently initiated a national movement on food supply and safety.
In the framework of his working trip, the President became acquainted with the operations of ‘Mongolian Green Farmer’ LLC. Established in 2015, the company’s main operations include storage, sales, and rental services alongside the sales of meat, meat products, and vegetables.
Equipped with fully-automated technology and equipment, the company’s warehouse has a capacity to store 1,500 tons of meat and frozen products and 1,500 tons of fruits and vegetables. It is being planned to construct a warehouse with a capacity of 45 thousand tons in Ulaanbaatar city, introduced Executive Director Sh.Gurragchaa.
During the visit, CEO of Mongolian Warehouse Trade Association D.Erdenesaikhan also noted the necessity of long-term loans with low interest rates for entities that run warehouse operations.
Mongolia currently imports about 40 percent of its vegetables, which amounts to about 70 thousand tons.
By building a warehouse that has a capacity of 50 thousand tons, there are certain advantages such as harvests to be sold at reasonable prices, and for vegetable farmers to have a better estimate of their income and profits in autumn. In turn, this would create the appropriate conditions for imports to decrease, the prices of food products to stabilize, and household farming to develop, providing healthy food for people.
President of Mongolia U.Khurelsukh expressed that the state will provide comprehensive support for the sector’s operations.
