The Mongolian Union of Food Producers and the Union of Flour Producers have complained that an extraordinary right has been given to a few companies. Responding to this, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture N.Ariunbold reported that an open selection has been carried out in accordance with related rules and law.

“These unions sound false news, so our Ministry has asked the Corruption Combating Agency to check whether the selection ran correctly,” he said.
