Being regularly organized by the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the ‘Business Breakfast’ meeting aims to deliver proposals and initiatives of private sector to policy makers and strengthen cooperation between them.

More than 80 businessmen and specialists from the ministry attended the meeting and exchanged views on pressing issues in agricultural sector.

“The sector requires development revolution. When a General Veterinary Authority is established, it will be in charge of controlling all agricultural products to be exported. By doing so, control will be raised and quality of products will be improved. It will be very important to satisfy healthiness, provide population with safe food and export agricultural raw materials and products,” said the Minister.

The Ministry plans to implement a Program ‘Industrialization 21:100’ and agriculture-based processing plants such as cashmere, leather, meat, milk and dairy products will be established in all aimags. Every province will have processing industry suitable for them.

“Mongolia’s livestock reached 66.2 million and is expecting to have 22 million head of offspring this spring. Therefore, we are working to have more quality raw materials and products and produce value-added final products for export,” added the Minister.

In the end, B.Batzorig summarized, “Businessmen said that the sector needs investment. We have received many proposals and suggestions, such as to lower the loan rate and increase loan volume being issued to small and medium-sized enterprises. Moreover, we shared views on what policy and solutions are needed in the sector and how to export agricultural products and raw materials.”
