/MONTSAME/ On August 23, Chairman of the National Development Agency (NDA)
B.Bayrsaikhan together with Mongolian experts and researchers held a meeting
with Japanese experts who arrived in Mongolia to explore possibilities for
cooperation in studying milk and dairy products derived from Mongolian cattle, which found to be rich in lactic acid bacteria, and
putting the products into economic circulation, and investment opportunities.
Informing
that an objective for regional development of rural economies has been set in
the Government’s action plan, NDA Chairman B.Bayrsaikhan underlined the opportunity
to cooperate in processing milk, building factories and plants, and promoting Mongolian brand to the world through advanced technology. Doing so will
create jobs in rural areas and increase herders income and production. We have
submitted this request to the ministry and agreed to meet and hold discussions
with relevant authorities, he said.
The Japanese
side expressed its willingness to bring Mongolian milk and dairy products
processed with Japan’s advanced technology to the world market, while speaking
of their plan to produce high-grade whiskey with milk and fermented mare’s milk
as it is definite that the addition of these products that are rich in lactic
acid bacteria will bring perfect taste and quality.
The Japanese representatives also said they would like to export Mongolian cheese made using French technology and collaborate in establishing cheese factories in 21 aimags. “At first, two factory workers will undergo training in Japan and France and then share their knowledge to others,” they added, while showing interest in sausages and smoked meat.
“In general, we are planning to bring Mongolian fermented mare’s milk, cheese, and smoked meat to the world market. It is certain that Mongolian dairy products full of lactic acid bacteria will be in high demand on the global market” they noted.
