This report analyses Mongolia’s meat value chain for exports. Using tailored survey data from across Mongolia, the report carries out three tasks.
First, it identifies and analyses the different roles played by the main stakeholders in the meat value chain: herders rearing livestock, middlemen aggregating and carrying out transport of livestock from remote areas to meat processors, and larger meat processors carrying out processing and exporting.
Second, it analyses the bottlenecks in the meat value chain. In this regard, the analysis highlights the role of the government in boosting the sector through holistic policy changes ranging from ensuring the health and quality of livestock to helping processors negotiate trade deals with international buyers.
Third, based on the findings, the report discusses a series of policy implications to improve the functioning of the value chain and benefits to stakeholders.
This report complements the market analysis of key destination markets for Mongolian meat exporters conducted under the same project umbrella (“Integrating Landlocked Commodity Dependent Countries into Regional and Global Value Chains”).
