Economy
Zavkhan /MONTSAME/ A meat factory with a daily capacity of
500 sheep and goats and 150-200 cattle is to open in Tosontsengel soum of
Zavkhan aimag. The factory building is now ready as an agreement was established with Bayan New Food Century LLC.
The project is being implemented within the aimag’s goal to become producer aimag from consumer aimag. It will not only improve livelihoods of herders, but
also provide 30 to 50 people with full-or-part time jobs. According to the governor’s
office of Tosontsengel soum, the soum plans to export meat in the long
term.
Incidentally, thanks to a project being implemented by the
World Vision Mongolia in Tosontsengel soum, two agricultural (fruit and berry)
cooperatives and three sewing cooperatives have been provided with necessary
equipment, securing stable jobs for 30 members of the five cooperatives
