📋 Tender Overview
B. Beysen, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Environment, Food and Agriculture of the State Great Khural, and members of the State Great Khural R. Batbold, P. Batchimeg, M. Gankhuleg, M. Mandkhai, and B. Naidalaa worked in Darkhan-Uul aimag.
Members of the Standing Committee first met with the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Light Industry and learned about the sector's policies and activities.
During this event, Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry J. Enkhbayar provided information on the policies, laws and legal framework reforms in the food, agriculture and light industry sectors, the "Food Revolution" , "White Gold", "New Cooperative", "Atryn IV", and " Agricultural Sustainable Development Campaign", and introduced the program implementation process, results, challenges, and plans and measures for further intensification .
In his speech, the Chairman of the Standing Committee, B. Beysen, emphasized that the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, despite the fact that it has recently moved to Darkhan-Uul aimag by the decision of the Mongolian State Great Khural and the Government, is working rapidly and successfully implementing policy measures and national programs. He said that the implementation of the “Food Revolution” , “White Gold”, “Atryn IV ” , and “New Cooperative” movements as a comprehensive measure will be a big step towards positively affecting food security. He further emphasized the urgent need to increase funding for small and medium-sized enterprises in the context of supporting micro, small and medium-sized businesses.
In addition, the government's decision to eliminate import taxes on flour, animal feed, and wheat while implementing the "Atryn IV " and " Sustainable Agricultural Development Campaign" was a wrong decision. The decrease in the harvest and cultivated area of ??farmers in 2024 was due to this, he said. Therefore, he warned that if the Parliament does not review and resolve the issue of eliminating customs excise duties, it will negatively affect domestic farmers and producers.
M. Mandkhai, head of the working group responsible for improving the effectiveness of programs implemented in the food and agricultural sectors and providing policy and methodological support , and a member of the State Great Khural, emphasized that 2025 was declared the World Year of Cooperatives, and noted the need to model the “New Cooperative” movement, reduce risks, ensure and intensify cross-sectoral coordination. He emphasized that by properly laying the foundation for the “New Cooperative” movement, a reliable source of raw materials for the “Food Revolution” and “White Gold” programs will be created through cooperatives, and emphasized that the working group is ready to provide support in further improving the legal and regulatory environment of the sector.
