Politics
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The cabinet meeting held Wednesday adopted a national program “Fruits”, and obliged P.Sergelen, the Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, to provide the program with professional and methodological management and to control the implementation.
In Mongolian territory, some 60 sorts of fruits grow, and scholars are developing new sorts of fruits as well as technologies of processing them. As of 2016, areas of fruit gardens reached 6.1 thousand hectares, and 2,560 tons of fruits are harvested a year, but it is not enough for the national consumption.
Mongolia has started to export sea-buckthorn to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Singapore and Malaysia, now the country intends to manufacture oil from the fruit’s oil, active ingredients, tea and fodder-purpose leaves.
The national program has key objectives to augment sorts of fruits, to boost the fruit industry, to fully provide the population with fruits and vitamins by creating a unified network of sea-buckthorn manufacture and to increase the export income.
In addition, the national program is expected to increase fruit plantation, create job places in localities and augment kinds of export products, declining size of imported fruits.
