In 2020-2022, CPR has successfully implemented the ADB TA project ‘Cooperative-based sustainable agriculture production’. The project guided by ADB and the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry was aimed to strengthen agriculture value chains and promote sustainable and efficient agriculture production by improving the capacity of herder cooperatives to address a range of issues including livestock, pasture, and water management, as well as to strengthen value chains and links with markets. The knowledge generated through the TA was expected to provide an evidence-based model for empowering herder cooperatives and allow Mongolia to transition towards sustainable and quality-based livestock production. Based on the project results, ADB has published the policy paper No 226 in November 2022.
