About us

Foundation

The “Food Supply and Security” national movement, also known as the “Food Revolution”, was launched by the President of Mongolia, Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, on May 13, 2022. This movement is part of a larger national effort to transform Mongolia’s food system, addressing the urgent need for food security and sustainability in the face of global challenges.

To formalize and support the movement, the Mongolian Parliament passed Resolution No. 36 on June 17, 2022, which outlines key measures to ensure the country’s food supply and security.

Key Goals

Objective: The primary aim of the Food Revolution is to reduce Mongolia’s reliance on imported food and become fully self-sufficient in key staples like meat, dairy, grain, and vegetables. This goal is critical given Mongolia's harsh climate and heavy dependence on imports, which exposes the country to global supply chain vulnerabilities.
Plan of Action: To achieve this, the movement focuses on significantly boosting domestic food production. This involves modernizing agricultural practices, promoting sustainable farming, and providing technological and financial support to local farmers and producers. Investments in infrastructure, such as the development of greenhouses for year-round farming, and better irrigation systems for crops, are key strategies in this effort.
Outcome: By 2027, the nation aims to produce enough food to meet the demands of its population, ensuring food independence and reducing exposure to global market fluctuations.

Objective: In addition to securing domestic food needs, the Food Revolution is designed to position Mongolia as a strong competitor in the global agricultural market. This will involve the expansion of Mongolia’s export capabilities, particularly for its high-quality livestock products like meat and dairy, as well as grains and wool, which are already in demand in international markets.
Plan of Action: The strategy includes improving food quality standards, increasing production efficiency, and introducing advanced food processing technologies. By doing so, Mongolia can create value-added products, such as processed meats and dairy products, which can command higher prices in global markets. Furthermore, efforts to open new trade partnerships and increase market access are key components of this goal.
Outcome: The vision is to develop a robust, export-oriented agricultural sector that not only contributes to national economic growth but also enhances Mongolia’s reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality food products on the world stage.

Objective: Ensuring food safety is a cornerstone of the Food Revolution, as it directly impacts public health and the overall well-being of citizens. The movement aims to implement food safety measures that meet international standards, addressing both the quality and safety of food produced and consumed within Mongolia.
Plan of Action: This includes the establishment of strict food safety protocols, such as proper handling, storage, and processing of food products. It also involves improving regulatory frameworks and enhancing inspection systems to ensure that all food—whether produced locally or imported—meets stringent health and safety standards. Public education campaigns on nutrition and food safety will also be implemented to raise awareness among consumers.
Outcome: The goal is to guarantee that all Mongolians have access to safe, nutritious, and high-quality food. By aligning with international food safety standards, Mongolia will not only protect its citizens but also boost the credibility of its food products in export markets, further contributing to economic growth.
