In the first five months of 2016, Mongolia has exported 1947 tonnes of horse meat which is a increase of 62 percent compared to the same period of previous year. This translates into $3.6 million, reports National Statistics Office.
This year, meat export market shrinked because Mongolia is exporting horse meat only to Russia, reports General Agency of Customs and Taxation. In May last year, Mongolia exported meat to China, Russia and Kazakhstan but this year Mongolia didn't export to Kazakhstan.
Also starting this May, Mongolia has stopped exporting horse meat to China and exported mutton and goat meat for the first time.
Mongolia's western region five aimags were declared murrain-free zone by specialized investigation agency of the People's Republic of China and thus gave permission to "Mon Tuva", "Zavkhan khuns group" and "Mongola Eco Meat" to export meat.
