-ACMS SPEAKER SERIES-
Increasing opportunities for Mongolia to supply beef to markets in China, Russia and other countries, along with an expanding domestic market for high quality beef, have encouraged government policymakers, aid officials, and businessmen to make the case for investing in Mongolia’s beef cattle industry.
Mongolians have been raising cattle for thousands of years and there are currently more cattle than people in Mongolia - about 4 million head of cattle (including yaks). The country’s vast grasslands are believed to have the potential to develop “organic, grass-fed, natural beef”, thus commanding a higher price paid by discerning consumers from around the world who want healthier food products.
While there are good prospects for the beef cattle industry in Mongolia, there are numerous challenges that need to be overcome. This presentation will discuss the opportunities and challenges in Mongolia to produce quality beef and review beef cattle raising practices, lessons-learned and new technologies for improving beef cattle production in the United States.
It will then outline steps Mongolia could take to incorporate best practices from the United States and how to integrate Mongolian herders’ knowledge and skills to adapt current cattle raising practices in order to respond to domestic and export markets for quality beef.
