MONGOLIA TO EXPORT FLOUR

According to the Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, Mongolia has had the right to export flour to China.

The introduction of the first export of wheat flour to China during the pandemic will have a positive impact on the economy, boosting the two countries' foreign trade turnover, expanding the market for companies to become exporters and increasing incomes,” said Z. Mendsaikhan, Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry.
