Prime Minister Visits Cow Farm
Ulaanbaatar,
June 6 (MONTSAME) The Prime Minister N.Altankhuyag Thursday legged a cow farm,
a "Khishihten Nuudelchin” LLC, which is breeding Montbeliarde cattle.
The farm has
been erected under 2.8 billion togrog out of 43 billion from the
"Chingis" bonds revenue for the diary production this year. The farm
has imported from France 150 heads of the Montbeliarde cattle of dairy and beef
products. "The Mongolian cow gives 4.5 liters milk a day, whereas her "French
counterpart"--from 20 to 25 liters, with high protein," said the
company’s executive director J.Battogs. “As we have learned, the Montbeliarde
mountainous region has had no animal diseases in the last 20 years," he
said, adding that it is fully possible to develop here such farms combining
with Mongolian traditional experience.
Cattle farm
normally requires good fodder and places, "so we planted all kinds of
fodder plants on four thousand hectares and have managed to fully provide our
cows with fodder," Battogs said. He wants to import 160 heads soon,
he added.
The Premier
noted that ten such farms around the capital city would satisfy 50 percent of
its need in dairy products, and wished the company big successes.
As of today, 15
companies have received financing of MNT 10.5 billion from the “Chingis” bonds
and are ready to start activities son, a Vice Minister of Agriculture and
Industry Ts.Tuvaan added.
Jordan Belfort, the Wolf of Wall Street, Visits Mongolia
June 6
(Mongolian Economy) Today, the world-renowned motivational speaker and former
stockbroker Jordan Belfort visited Mongolia to meet with politicians and
businesspeople at the Blue Sky Tower to discuss the art of persuasion and the
telling of Mongolia’s story. After building up a successful company, Stratton
Oakmont, Belfort experienced a fall of grace after he committed a wide array of
fraudulent activities detailed in his memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street, which
was adapted into a successful movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Belfort travels
around the world to spread his knowledge, giving government and business
representatives advice on how to improve the economy by telling a story. He
says that there is an important equation to balance in order to successfully
vitalize the nation’s economy. On one side of the equation, the country must
have assets to sell, or in other words, a story to have. Mongolia is a land
filled with rich mineral resources with a beautiful landscape. It is a country
that has a lot to offer.
The other part
of the equation is having the ability to tell a story that will attract
investors to come into Mongolia because of its abundant opportunities and high
potential. It is important to create a story that will convince others that
investing in Mongolia’s assets will have not only short-term benefits, but
long-term benefits as well. With both sides of the equation fulfilled, the
nation can see economic improvements lying ahead.
By telling a
story, investment will seep in and Mongolia can see its best days within 5 to
10 years. However, it will be a step-by-step process, at times gradual.
Improvement may lay under the surface for some time, but soon enough; positive
changes will pave way into a new generation. With a promising future awaiting
Mongolia, it is important for people to develop a story to attract investors
while gaining governmental support at the same time.
There are two
options to take: 1) wait for everyone to start without you or 2) be a part of
it. With Belfort’s presence in Mongolia, we can hope to learn from his mistakes
and move forward to a bigger and brighter future for the Mongolia Stock
Exchange. Mongolian politicians and businesspeople can take the second option, and
help tell Mongolia’s story to the world.
