Meat export discussed with Eurasian Economic Union
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ “Mongolia has big potentials to export meat and meat products which are pretty sufficient in the domestic market; unfortunately, the local production quality doesn’t meet international standards”, said A.Amarjargal, a specialist at the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry at a meeting on March 28, Tuesday.
Themed ‘Cooperation on standard technical coordination, veterinary and health’, the meeting took place between Mongolia and the Eurasian Economic Union.
Following the request of Mongolian Government, Mongolia’s cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union on meat export to its members has been on agenda since 2010.
From Mongolian side, international relations officers, businesspeople and specialists from Mongolian Agencies for Standardization and Metrology and Specialized Inspections partook in the meeting to discuss ways to increase export of animal products, settle challenges in foreign trade, and mutual acceptance of laboratory test results whereas the Eurasian Economic Union was represented by 7 delegates. Also, a two-day seminar is being organized to acquaint Mongolian business representatives with Eurasian standards and prerequisites.
