Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ “National Program ‘Livestock Health’ will be realized. Also, we have a goal to produce vaccines in Mongolia,” said B.Batzorig, Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry at the meeting ‘Business Breakfast’ on April 24.
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.
