It was decided that 51,000 tons of grain and fodder for livestock would be imported from Russia with 40 billion MNT for financing included in the state budget.
Thirty-four entities were selected to carry out the import and signed a policy agreement with the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry. The Agriculture Minister met with the entities and urged them to make the feed available as soon as possible and to increase the amount of livestock feed being imported, which will be made available to herders at discounted prices.
Subsidized livestock feed has been made available to herders through customs and value-added tax exemptions laws approved on November 30.
Bran is 520 MNT per kilogram in Ulaanbaatar, but herders can buy bran for 400 to 420 MNT per kilogram through the discounted feed program. As of today, 10 entities have imported 3,160 tons of bran, 1,700 tons of cubed feed, and 210 tons of other feed.
Over 1,300 herders have purchased feed, and 300 herders have purchased feed with wool production rebates.
