Meat processing complex to be built in Tuv Province www.news.mn
For several years, Mongolia has been looking at establishing large scale slaughter and meat processing plants in order to boost exports. Currently, large volumes of meat are being exported to China, however, Beijing is concerned about inconsistencies in health standards. For this reason, it was only natural that China would become the main partner in establishing such a facility.
The international standard, eco-friendly complex plant with an annual processing capacity of a million head of livestock will be constructed in the Bayan Soum of Tuv Province. The meat processing complex will be constructed in three stages with Chinese investment worth USD 40 million.
A cooperation agreement for constructing the complex was signed by D.Munkhbaatar, Deputy Governor of Tuv province, A.Idersuren, chief of ‘Tuv-Erdenet’ state-owned enterprise and Ma Yuang Feng, director of ‘Ai Zhui’ farming, science and technological company of Ordos, in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.
The first stage of construction of complex is expected to commence in June this year. By June 2020, when the second stage is put into operation the complex will produce semi-processed meat and meat products . In the third stage, a bio-science and analysis laboratory will be opened; this is planned to be completed by December 2021.
