Executive Summary
This Progress Report covers the period from 15 October 2017 to 15 February 2018, and is prepared in the context of the Project Expected Outputs and TA Detailed action plan. During this reporting period, five enterprises have additionally summitted their request to cooperate with the project on product development in fiber, garment, bee-farming and garment subsector. The relevant assessment and research were carried out by TA Team which has concluded that the enterprises are capable of being considered as Project Participating Enterprises for tailored support by the TA on production, processing and marketing activities. The TAU’s final confirmation on selection of PPEs has contributed to project’s further identification of final beneficiaries and project target areas. Currently, there are 15 aimags and 42 soums area expected to be covered for the project subsectors (fiber, garment, leather/footwear, sea buckthorn, bee farming, meat and dairy) which accounts for more than 70 percent of the total provinces. The identified list of target areas and final beneficiaries will finally be confirmed by the next Technical Advisory Unit Meeting. A total of eight (12) training sessions have been conducted for herders, cooperatives, suppliers and PPEs. There were 283 people in attendance, of which 56.8% were female and 43.2% were male. The technical specifications for 105 types of envisioned equipment have been developed including price. These include equipment for milk processing, beekeeping, laboratory testing for food, fiber, leather and apparel equipment for the training center. These includes i) equipment for herders’ households and milk processing cooperatives and for beekeepers; ii) semen and embryo of high productive animals; iii) water wells, livestock fences and warehouses; iv) equipment, instruments and chemicals for primary fiber and leather processing; v) laboratory equipment for leather, fiber and food safety reference laboratories; vi) extraction equipment for sea buckthorn seed oil; and vii) sewing machinery equipment for training center etc. At present, a total of 7 contracts and 15 Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) have been signed with the selected institutes and PPEs within the framework of product development and trails. Depending on product development activities, some MOUs are signed between three or four parties representing herders’ cooperative, primary processors, yarn or fabric producer and PPE/manufacturers Each project target sub-sector establishes an informal technical working group that includes representatives of key industry partners in the sector and organizes roundtable discussions. It creates an opportunity to discuss technical details of the project planned activities for making optimal solutions and recommendations. During the reporting period, 7 roundtable discussions have been organized for fiber, bee-farming, meat, sea buckthorn and dairy sub-sectors respectively. The ADB Mission carried out during 6-8 February 2018 the overall project activities and discuss project implementation issues and measures to address them with executing and implementing agencies and consultants. The Mission assessed the TA progress as satisfactory and proposed specific milestones to be achieved by the TA and Implementing Agency.

ONE. OUTPUT 2: PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF HERDERS AND FARMERS
IMPROVED
1.1 PROJECT TARGET AREAS AND BENEFICIARIES
1. As stated in a previous progress report, the main criteria for selection of project target areas and final beneficiaries will be the herders, cooperatives and primary producers who supply raw materials to the selected Project Participating Enterprises (PPEs). Also, each subsector has its own specific criteria in terms of the product quality and type, production volume to meet PPE’s requirements.
2. Therefore, the final decision on selection of PPEs has contributed TA project to the identification of final beneficiaries and the project target areas as well. Currently, 15 aimags and 42 soums are likely to be covered for the project subsectors (fiber, garment, leather/footwear, sea buckthorn, bee farming, meat and dairy) which account for more than 70 percent of the total provinces (Table 1).
3. The identified list of target areas and final beneficiaries is subject for final confirmation during the next Technical Advisory Unit Meeting.

1.2 CAPACITY BUILDING TRAININGS AND OTHER TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES 4. A total of 11 trainings sessions were organized for herders, cooperatives, farmers as well as PPEs suppliers and local veterinarians were attended in total by 248 people.
1.3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF EQUIPMENTS
5. The technical specifications for 105 types of envisioned equipment have been developed , including prices (Appendices 1.1-1.6) of which 42 types of equipment are planned to be supplied to primary producers. These includes i) equipment for herders’ households and milk processing cooperatives and for beekeepers; ii) semen and embryo of high productive animal; iii) well, livestock fences and warehouses; and iv) equipment, instruments and chemical for primary fiber and leather processing.
1.4 ACTIVITIES BY SECTORS
1.4.1 Fiber sector 6. It is clear that a key issue is the use of processing yield as the only measure of quality, a measure that has a relatively small impact on the consumer perceived quality of a garment. However, poor prediction of processing yield does have the potential to disrupt the chain of provenance for the fiber, an important attribute for marketing of MNF.
Pilot training program for selected herders’ cooperatives
7. To improve processing yields and their prediction, training for harvesting and fiber grading was given to herders, cooperatives and raw material suppliers. The training course on “Quality of raw cashmere” was held on 07-15 December, 2017 in Undur-Ulaan soum Arkhangai aimag and Ulaistai soum of Zavkhan aimag. Total of 99 herders (62% female and 38% male) attended the training, representing 10 cooperatives from 5 soums of each aimag (Undur-Ulaan, Tariat, Khangai, Chuluut and Ikh Tamir soums of Arkhangai aimag and Durvuljin, Ikh-Uul, Otgon, Shiluustei and Erdenekhairkhan). The training programme is attached (Appendix 2).
Cooperation between PPEs and raw material suppliers
8. In order to assist to establish and expand the cooperation between herders and PPEs for improvement of quality of raw material, a face-to-face consultation meeting has been organized in Arkhangai aimag between the PPEs and herders/cooperative members. From the manufacturers side, representatives from two PPEs as ‘Bayalag Ulzii Ltd’ and ‘Khan Bogd Cashmere ltd’, representative from Khotont soum’s wool washing plant and wool producing association. During the consultation meeting, the participants exchanged their opinions on key issues addressing the manufacturer’s requirement on raw cashmere, how the quality of finished products depend upon the raw material quality, particularly the cashmere quality to meet MNF standard and on sorting methods.

SWOT Analysis of the herders and cooperatives
9. The group discussion among herders, raw material suppliers, PPEs and projects was
carried out on the topic of ‘Opportunities to make positive changes in cashmere value chain’.
A total of 105 people was actively involved representing 10 cooperatives from the above
mentioned soums and aimags. The discussion results were analyzed using the SWOT-AHP
method and summarized in below matrix (Table 2).

10. It can be seen that in terms of strengthening their capacity, there are two different target groups for the technical support activities for herders and cooperatives. The first target group will be involved in the project’s capacity building training on improvement and preparation of raw material according to standard; and the second group will be involved in project activities directed to product development. In other words, within the scope of the product development goal, the project will work with herders’ cooperatives for producing cashmere that meet the quality requirements. So that other cooperatives in project target soums will be encouraged to be trained through the training activities organized by the project.
11. The criteria for selecting herders’ cooperative for product development activities, especially for MNF product should be more specific. Thus, we propose the following criteria for the cooperative:
- should have expressed their interest in working with selected PPE and the project - able to prepare and grade of raw materials according to required standard - has at least more than 3 years’ experience in raw material supply - has a nucleus breeding herd.
12. At present, PPEs work with 25 cooperatives from 20 soums of 11 aimags which could be identified as beneficiaries for TA training. From the data surveys on potential resources of raw material and cooperatives, the selection criteria were met by 13 cooperatives of 15 soums from four aimags namely, Arkhangai, Zavkhan, Bayankhongor and Khuvsgul. Training for trainers
13. As earlier mentioned, the main factor that could positively influence improvement of cooperative capacity and quality assurance is that the key stakeholders in the supply chain are well trained and skilled. The TA has conducted training specifically for the selected cooperative (‘Malchin tumnii zaya’ – herders’ cooperative) involved in product development activities. The training was organized in Ulaanbaatar on 26 January 2018 and involved 5 people including cooperative managers, a soum supplier and a primary processor (Appendix 2.1). As a result, the participants gained knowledge and practical experience in raw cashmere preparation technology and sorting according to quality standard furthermore they will be able to train more herders at their soum or bagh level especially during the harvesting period. This increased capacity will help the PPEs to be supplied with raw materials that meet the requirement for finished product. The progress of this training will be reviewed during the next quarter.
14. It is recommended that the herders’ cooperatives are required to identify one or two specialists in raw material preparation technology and sorting through the training program organized by the donor projects or Agriculture University. As a result, the capacity of the cooperative can significantly improve, enhancing the possibility to develop a product traceability system and create an opportunity for a direct sales channel between producers and processors.
15. It also recommended to strengthen the cooperation between herders’ cooperatives and PPEs particularly within the framework of product development activities where the technical assistance is needed (Appendix 2.2).
1.4.2 Bee-farming sector
Local beneficiaries and geographical areas
16. There are 40 primary bee-farming units/beekeepers identified as suppliers for the selected PPEs that are operating in 19 soums of 7 provinces namely, Darkhan-Uul, Tuv, Bulgan, Selenge, Orkhon, Khentii, Dornod and in Ulaanbaatar (Appendix 3). The selection criteria for local beneficiaries had been developed and endorsed by the last TAU Meeting.

Training and Capacity building activities
17. According to the action plan and training needs assessment, the training for local veterinarians from the project target soums was organized on 27-28 November 2018 in Ulaanbaatar. The objective of this training is to educate soum veterinarians on the bee-farm management, importance of determination of honey product origin, requirements for hygiene conditions and the quality control system. A total of 18 (male 33% and female 67%) were involved representing veterinarians of Bulgan, Tuv, Orkhon, Dornod, Khentii aimag, Capital city veterinary department and PPEs (Appendix 4).
18. It should be noted that the training (with demonstration) was planned in Shaamar soums of Selenge aimag, which is one of the soums of relatively good experience in bee-farming management, but due to the livestock FMD quarantine, the planned time and site had been changed.
19. Training on "The Hygiene and Quality requirement for honey" was organized in Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan on December 1-4, 2017. Forty-one (16 male and 25 female) bee-keepers were trained of which 21 participants attended the training organized in Darkhan city and 20 participants in Ulaanbaatar. The training is aimed at providing the theoretical and practical knowledge, and skills needed by PPEs’ suppliers. Therefore, it enables local beekeepers to gain knowledge of factors that affect the quality of the honey strengthen their capability to provide with products that meets manufacturer’s or PPE’s requirement.
20. The TA activity supports the establishment of traceability system in bee product origin is likely to show a good result at project target areas. The TA is approaching to introduce best practices and lessons from other donor projects. An example, the “Generation of Rural Income through Beekeeping development” project implemented by JAICAF (Japan Association for International Collaboration of Agriculture and Forestry has developed and started to introduce tracing system through soum government office (veterinary unit) in Shaamar soum of Selenge aimag. In order to expand the existing fundament, we have recommended and provided a guide to the soum veterinarians who have been involved in the project. Recently, by the resolution of the Citizen’ Representative’s Hural of Bayan-Undur soum of Orkhon aimag the contractual obligation between soum veterinarian local beekeepers and certificate for origin of honey product have been approved.
21. Additionally, trainers and advisors for local beekeepers were identified during the subsector round table meeting as well as training program and needs are developed in detail.
1.4.3 Dairy sector 22. According to action plan, the training on “Primary milk processing and requirement at soum and herders’ household level” had been organized (07-15 December, 2018) in Arkhangai & Zavkhan (Appendix 5).
23. The rationale for selection of project target areas and criteria for identification of beneficiaries for equipment and training has been initially developed that will be submitted to the TAU for its final endorsement.
1.4.4 Sea-buckthorn sector Raw material suppliers
24. Raw material suppliers and farmers of the PPEs and their geographical locations have been initially identified. Currently, 22 farms and households in 12 soums of 8 aimags (Selenge, Uvs, Uvurkhangai, Bulgan, Zavkhan, Darkhan-Uul, Khuvsgul and Tuv) are involved. However, some of PPEs as Jivertiin Orgil Ltd and Vitafit LtD do not have their own suppliers because they purchase directly from the other traders if their raw fruits meet the production requirements without regard to geographical location (Appendix 6).
10
25. The Needs assessment showed that “The Good Agriculture Practice” will play the main role for improvement of quality system and increased farmers capacity. Therefore, technical assistance activities will be focused more on providing knowledge and improving skill on good practice for primary producers or suppliers in local areas.
1.4.5 Meat and leather sectors Training for herders and raw material producers/suppliers
26. The trainings on “Preparation of livestock originated raw materials in accordance with standard and establishment of sustainable supply system” were conducted on January 23-24, 2018 in Ulaanbaatar (Appendix 7). Total of 40 people from Arkhangai aimag (Undur-Ulaan and Chuluut soums) and Zavkhan aimag (Otgon and Ikh-Uul soums) including herders and workers from slaughterhouses.
27. The training subjects included a) nutritional value of meat and by-products; b) specific characteristic of quality, technology for slaughtering livestock and processing of meat; c) primary processing and treatment of animal skin and production requirements. Additionally, the information and advice on the measures to combat and prevent parasites affecting the quality of livestock products and the use of on prevention and control of parasitic diseases that negatively affect quality of livestock products; and proper use of some veterinary drugs and preparations was provided to the training participants.
28. The trainings have resulted with improved knowledge and skill on preparation of animal originated raw materials, nutritional value of byproducts its processing and prevention and control with animal diseases. The gaining knowledge from trainings will help contribute to the increased value of herders; household product and by-products.
29. From the training’s discussion session, it is suggested that the training on a Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) and Good Hygiene Practice (GHP) should be conducted for the primary producers and suppliers.
30. It is also recommended that training models need to be developed under TA on increased productivity of milk, fiber and meat and quality assurance that could be used as a reference material for trainers or local advisers at soum level. Therefore, the introduction of video class on GAP and GHP can also increase the number of beneficiaries not only for project target areas but also other rural regions. The demonstration training for processing and a face-to face meeting between producers and PPEs were followed at leather processing PPEs namely Mongol-Shevro LLC and Mon-Ireedui CoLtd.

TWO. OUTPUT 3: ENTERPRISES’ MARKETING AND TECHNICAL CAPACITY IMPROVED
31. During this reporting period, five enterprises summitted their proposals in addition to the 35 selected PPEs to cooperate with the project in the sector of fiber, sea buckthorn, garment and bee-farm. The relevant assessment and research were carried out by the TA Team which was concluded that the enterprises are capable to be considered as PPEs for tailored support by the TA on product development and marketing activities (Appendix 8, 9). Currently, TA is working with total of 40 PPEs.
2.1 CONTACTS AND MOUs 32. At present, a total of 7 contracts have been made for conducting pilot trails for garment and leather sector that involves MOFALI, PMU, TA and Implementing organizations. Additionally, 15 MOUs are signed between TA and the selected PPEs, which reflect action plans for tailored activities within the framework of product development and trails. Depending on product development activities, some MOUs are signed between three or four parties. For example, the MOU for fiber and garment sector has been signed between herders’ cooperative, primary processors, yarn or fabric producer and PPE/manufacturers. It has been observed that signing MOUs with PPEs stimulated their initiative and participation as well as increased stakeholders’ commitments (Examples of unofficial translations1 of four-sided and two-sided MOUs are attached in Appenices 10.1 and 10.2).
2.2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT 33. The technical specifications of 63 types of equipment have been developed together with the price which includes laboratory equipment for leather, fiber and food safety reference laboratories; equipment for extraction of sea buckthorn seed oil; and sewing machinery equipment for training center etc (Appendices 1.1 – 1.6).
2.3 ACTIVITIES BY SECTORS
2.3.1 Fiber sector
34. The number of PPEs in the fiber sector has been increased to 12 and they have been updated, via a workshop held in November 2017, on the data analysis exercise, which is needed to identify the specific training to be given to PPEs. So far five PPEs have supplied testing data for analysis. The rest of PPEs will be encouraged to supply their data in March 2018.
Matrix of selected enterprises’ raw materials needs
35. The matrix of raw material needs for nine PPEs is created based on estimation that reflects to the matrix of enterprises business created in the previous reporting period. The PPEs have used three types of raw materials including raw fiber, processed fiber (washed or dehaired) and yarn related to the fiber origin. From the total of raw material, 99.7 percent is raw fiber, 0.2 percent is processed and 0.1 percent is yarn (Table 3).
36. Additionally, raw material supply channels to PPEs were also analyzed (Graph 1) and thus the project focuses on the herders ‘cooperative.

• Action Plan.
a. Implementation actions b. Schedule and budget of the actions
42. The improvement of the commercial activities of the fiber sector is priority for the
successful implementation of the MNF.
43. The companies are contributing actively in the process and their attitude shows their desire of self-improvement. The appointed marketing managers are responding to their duties in this joint scope of work and appreciate the guidance given by IMBE.
44. The IMBE has started to draft the Marketing Strategy of the following fiber sector PPEs: (1) Altai Cashmere, (2) Bayalag Ulzii, (3) Cashmere Holding, (4) Nans Cashmere, (5) Mongol Nekhmel, (6) Jinst Murun (7) Sor cashmere and (8) Sunshiro. The drafts are attached as annex.
45. GOBI Corporation would like to have their franchise strategy reviewed. At present the IMBE is working in the perusal of their Franchise Manual, and a Skype call with the marketing manager will be followed.
14
46. The PPEs: Uujin, Natural Textile and Khanbogd, have not submitted yet their SWOT analysis.
47. The following common constraints of the PPEs operating in the fiber sector were identified based on the findings up to date:
- Dependency on spinning suppliers causes delays in yarn deliveries and failure of quality tracking
- Quality of the yarn cannot be tracked and produces loom defects due to different delivered batches.
- Although new designs are constantly developed, there is no concept of collection. Designs are developed individually; there is a need of upgrading design skills.
- Loss of sales due to break of stock: Best-selling products of high demand are often not available in stock
- Pure 100% yak wool yarn has low strength and reduces the life cycle of the finished product.
- No after sales service is provided. - Lack of marketing and export department: there is no market research and follow-up
of existing customers. - Need of developing a Marketing strategy plan and allocating resources for
implementing the actions. - The policy and long-term vision of the company’s development is weak. - There is no processing classification, and standards and measurements that can be
used to detect or minimize unnecessary costs. - Lack of high quality accessories: there are no local distributors representing European
accessories (buttons, zips). - Need to invest in modern technology to lower production cost and be more competitive
in price and delivery time. - Mongolia does not have a good transport offer. The transport is costly and the number
of forwarding companies is limited. - Mongolia does not have recognized accreditation in international market showing
Mongolian product is 100% pure cashmere. 48. The high dependency of the PPEs in yarn sourcing is probably the major constrain to the
development of their business activity and may be a potential risk to the success of the MNF. According to the information given by the PPEs, the main spinning companies GOBI and GOYO are sourcing only a limited quantity of yarn and the offer of yarn count is highly restricted. The future business activity and marketing strategy of GOYO is unknown; the company has been bought the GOBI and this new situation might cause an even more restrictions of yarn availability. In any case, the IMBE would like to comment that GOBI and the spinning department of GOYO will keep MNF fiber for their own production. PPEs willing to use MNF fiber will have to buy it from other companies, with limited production capacity, and unknown availability to sell MNF.
49. Mongolian fiber sector companies have been participating in international fairs thanks to the contribution and assistance given by CBI - Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries- developing programs. CBI has concluded its mission in Mongolia, and Mongolian companies will not be participating in any European or USA trade exhibition. This fact will directly affect their turnover. The majority of the PPEs are exporting up to 90% of their production. Unfortunately, they have not developed a distribution channel - most of their sales are done directly during the exhibition; there is no customer loyalty strategy, and - in some PPEs- their websites are obsolete. The Marketing strategy will work in deep to introduce and establish digital marketing tools to address this issue. It goes without saying that, unfortunately, there is no governmental assistance to export development of Mongolian Small and Medium-sized enterprises.
50. In addition to the foregoing, PPEs lack in product and knitting technology. Except for companies like GOBI, Nans Cashmere and Cashmere Holding, the PPEs have no knowledge
15
of "Collection concept". Their offer does not follow international seasonal trends, and this weakness will affect the success of the marketing expectations.
51. Their limitations in technological skills limit the proposed offer to basic constructions, and maybe a cause of inadequate costing.
52. The constraints in yarn sourcing and collection development cannot be solved by the IMBE. In relation to the former it would be highly recommended to suggest PPEs to invest in spinning facilities; concerning the later, fiber sector PPEs should be trained in Design development and knitting technology
2.3.2 Garment sector 53. As identified, the training for advanced technology has been supported by TA for apparel industry. The TA conducted training on introducing the CAD system, its requirements and technology to the tailor-made designers with demonstration at workplace. The effective utilization of the CAD system, will reduce the time spent on new design by 300 times that increases the productivity and the sales. This training on “CAD system for fashion design and pattern making” was successfully organized first time in the country covered by 20 participants from the 16 garment factories operate in Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan. The training was conducted in two stages between on 08-16th January 2018 in Ulaanbaatar (Appendix 11).
54. As a result of this training, the other factories become able to utilize the CAD machinery that was not in operational. On the other hand, the training place/factory becomes a potential source for further providing technical advice and training in CAD system. However, other support (e.g., financial) needs to the factory to sustain this activity.
Photo 3. Training on “CAD system for fashion design and pattern making, January 2018
55. The technical specification for 21 types of equipment were developed for apparel, which includes cutting, sewing, pressing, finishing machineries for apparel factories and laboratory equipment for clothing comfort and hygiene for research institute.
2.3.3 Bee farming sector 56. A Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation has been signed with 3 PPEs out of 4 PPEs. 57. The technical specification including price has been developed for 32 types of equipment that includes equipment for production of protein-based products and plant originated medical Round table meetings
58. With TA project initiatives and at the request of key stakeholders, the sub-sector round table meetings for bee farming were organized three times in October, November and December, 2017 respectively. A total of 12-15 people attended the roundtable meetings including representatives of the MOFALI, PMU, Ulaanbaatar University, Mongolian Bee-keepers’ Association, Veterinary Research Institute, Selenge Zeiten Company, Research
16
Station and PPEs. The specific issues discussed during the meetings were: i) TA activities and expected outputs; ii) harmonization activities of business associations and donor projects with TA activities; iii) training needs for beekeepers’ capacity building and detailed training plan; iv) identify trainees for training for trainers, v) determining the need for a standard to be updated; vi) honey biological activity and anti-oxidant quality study; v) creation of data-base; and vi) study on pasture management. 59. The detailed minutes of meeting is available on request and the main findings and conclusion are summarized below:
1) Training contents. The following topics should be included in the training content of the training for improvement of beekeepers’ skill as a) a good agriculture practice; b) innovative bee care technology; c) pasture management; d) improvement of hive conditions and colony health and e) advanced bee honey harvesting technology; as well as knowledge on ethics. It is also recommended that calendar plan need to be reviewed by TA for its improvement.
2) Pasture management. It has been emphasized the importance to enhance the involvement of key local authorities as soum land and citizens’ officials in the development of procedure on pasture use management and provide training for them. As well, participation and support of non-governmental organizations play an important role in achieving successful results.
3) Identify trainees for training for trainers. A total of 10 people was identified and supported as trainees for the training of trainers which includes 2 persons from each of the three PPE, 2 specialists from Agriculture extension center and 2 persons from each of the two associations.
4) Standard development. According to the desk study, 7 standards are being newly developed and 5 standards are considered to be upgraded in bee-honey sector. The technical specialists determined and agreed to upgrade curtain existing standard particularly the standard for honey laboratory testing methods under the TA project. It also is recommended to establish a standard working group that consists of 11 members representing relevant organizations as MOFALI, Veterinary Research Institute, State Central Veterinary Laboratory, Honey Research Station, Beekeepers’ associations and the TA project. Therefore, the agreed proposal will be submitted to the TAU meeting for a final endorsement.
5) Study on biological activity and anti-oxidant quality of honey in Mongolia. The activity is included in TA project action plan. It has been noted that this study will give a great significance to identifying the advantages of Mongolia's honey, thereby promoting its export. International experience shows that the quality of the honey is being evaluated based on its antioxidant characteristics. However, it is necessary to define the work to be implemented within the scope of TA task, since it covers wider range of activities that needs a certain amount of budget. Therefore, it is agreed that the project can support the study in accordance with planned budget selecting specific plant species for example, thymus, spring onion shallot and wild leek.
6) Creation of sub-sector data-base. This activity has been initiated by the Beekeeper’s association that was listed in MOFALI request. It was suggested that stakeholders should jointly discuss and agree on what information and data should be included. One of the main objective is to connect the data with ArcGIS and Google Earth system for determination of location of pasture or bee-farmers. It is recommended that the database should be placed at the MOFALI Department. However, it is concluded that the MOFALI is taken responsibility to research and respond to the selection of suitable organization for data base management considering on factors such as the sustainability of the database operation and the provision of personnel.
7) Pollination. It is recommended to investigate possibility to conduct a study on cross pollination service with other donor and local organizations. The effectiveness of pollination service for crop farming and greenhouses need to be considered to the study.
17
8) Demonstration project. TA initiative to conduct a demonstration project on producing qualified honey that meets international standard based on production model of Mihachi was supported by bee-farm key stakeholders. Mihachi is a company exporting honey in Japan, and the project intends to bring the company's experience to others and increase the number of suppliers.
9) Honey-based functional food. Participants emphasizes that initiatives on development of honey based functional food/preparations are in line with today's consumer and market needs. However, the trail on development of functional product requires certain time for its evidence of functionality. In this respect, the timing and budget need to be taken into account when the project contract with relevant organization. It is also suggested that the use of herbs for grown in Mongolia will give great importance.
60. During the consultation, representatives from organizations participated in international conference in Turkey and exhibition in China provided with information and shared their experience and lessons learned. It was informed that there were great advantages for Mongolian honey traders/participants, learning approaches to international trading and marketing, product promotion, and communication with consumers. Therefore, local retailers have expressed their willingness to cooperate in honey trading and participants made some initial contacts with individuals and companies interested in investing. However, there were difficulties encountered with participants in exhibition that need to be addressed for further attention. For example, i) the samples of products were requested by China for re-testing though it was tested and documented in Mongolia and the test result was not acceptable for organizing party. In addition, the results of the test were not issued to the owners; ii) selling large quantities of substitutes has decreased Mongolian honey reputation; iii) different quality of honey, price and labeling and lack of interpretation misleads consumers; and iv) lack of knowledge of participants about transportation, storage, trading, border control and customs. Therefore, it is concluded that the training on market intelligence and international trading approaches is recommendable to be conducted for PPEs.
2.3.4 Sea-buckthorn sector
Round table meeting
61. The Round table technical meeting with key stakeholders was organized on 25 January 2018. A total of 25 people attended including representatives from 7 PPEs, MOFALI, Mongolian National Association of Fruit and Berry, MUST and Institute of Traditional Medicine and technology. The discussion includes the following subjects:
- Activities to support the value chain of the sea buckthorn industry; - Activities implemented by TA and its input to PPEs; - PPEs’ initiatives and participation.

2.3.5 Meat sub-sector
Study on capacity of domestic food testing laboratories
65. The results of laboratory analysis recognized in accordance with International Standards is a key factor in the development of products and reliable market access for enterprises in Mongolia. As stated in previous progress report, the assessment result showed that the capability of laboratory testing is one of the main challenge for meat producing and exporting companies. Thus, some analyzes need to be obtained through the internationally accredited laboratories with high cost. 66. For that reason, the TA conducted a desk study on the competence of existing domestic laboratories to perform analysis for meat and meat products that are acceptable in accordance with required standard. 67. A total of 10 state-owned and private laboratories are operating in the capital city in charge of testing meat and meat products. According to the study, there is no laboratory that could carry out the complete test of analysis for meat and meat product in accordance to parameters requested for evaluating quality and nutritional value and safety of meat and meat products. Nevertheless, it is concluded that based on current capacity, 60% of the required analysis can be carried out locally, and the remaining percentage or specific indicators as fatty and amino acid, LDLP and HDLP need to be examined by external reference laboratories. Capacity of testing and research laboratories is summarized in a table below (Table 5). The list of laboratories involved in study is attached in Appendix 12.
19
Table 5. Testing capacity of domestic laboratories
Source: National Expert’s study finding
Remarks:
• Food Research Centre (FRC), MUST and State Central Veterinary Laboratory (SCVL) determine meat type.
• SCVL determines meat protein and collagen content only in case of need by Foodscan.
• All named laboratories are capable to determine Pb, Cd.FRC, MUST is able to conduct Hg, As, Zn, Fe, Cu, Ag, Si content determination.
• SCVL is able to conduct determination analysis for 32 drugs residue of 8 groups and 20 pesticides residue.
• CCTI - Chemistry and Chemical-Technological Institute of Academy of Science is able to determine hydroxyproline and total collagen contents by GOST method.
• SFSRL – State Food Safety Reference Laboratory.
• CLSIA - Central Laboratory of Specialized Inspection Agency of the Capital city.
• NL - Nutrition Laboratory, Public Health Centre.
68. As capacity of domestic laboratories remains insufficient, companies become in need to refer to foreign e.g, international certification SGS-affiliated laboratories. Cost of analysis by foreign laboratories is high and becomes a burden to small-scale processors to get a large number of samples tested or many parameters analyzed or re-test/re-analysis done. On the other hand, as meat and meat products are perishable, it is obviously not easy to prepare samples, send samples to a laboratory without altering quality and get samples tested considering their temporal and spatial correlations. 69. In our case either, as part of survey within the framework of the TA, we need some analysis of meat and meat products to be performed at international laboratory. The study also shows that the cost for international lab is 4-5 times more that local. For example, In United Kingdom, determination of chemical profile (moisture, protein, lipid, total mineral and calories) of a product sample costs approximately MNT 290,000 and in a SGS-affiliated testing laboratory it costs MNT 222,000 while in the FRC, MUST it cost MNT 55,5000. Foreign laboratories conduct amino-acids and fatty acids profile determination that is not conducted within the country which costs around MNT 400,000 per each type of analysis. In addition, sample preparation and transportation cost will add to make even more expensive.

70. Therefore, it is necessary to implement certain measures to strengthen capacity of domestic laboratories for reliable performance of complete quality analysis of meat and meat products within the country. For this purpose, it is suggested to seek possibilities to specify currently operational laboratories by certain types of analysis and, stabilize, standardize and assure their operation, develop a proposal for addressing these issues and submit to the corresponding agency (MOFALI and MOECS). The detailed report of study is available on file.
Round table Meeting with key stakeholders
71. Within the framework of strengthening cooperation among stakeholders of meat supply chain, roundtable meetings of major stakeholders of the subsector were organized on 3 November 2017 and 12 February 2018. Representatives of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry (MoFALI), Industrial Technology School of Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST), Mongolian Agency for Standard and Metrology (MASM), General Authority for Specialized Inspection (GASI), Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine (RIVM) of MULS, Mongolian Meat Association (MMA), project participating enterprises (PPEs) and the project implementing unit (PIU) participated in these meetings (Appendix 13). 72. As stated in the agenda, the planned activities, topics of trainings and models of pasture-kept livestock meat quality research and international markets study, planned to be implemented within the framework of the TA were introduced to the participants. 73. The participants of the meetings have discussed the Mongolian livestock meat quality research scope in detail and suggested to take into consideration potential markets for export. Referring that a meat market survey of the Middle East countries is included in the work list ordered by MoFALI to TA and considering the preference of these countries, the participants have clarified that quality survey of mutton needs be done at the first priority and agreed to cover three different geographical areas in the survey and carry out quality study of an offal meat at the same time. 74. Also, the participants recommended to seek possibilities to include goat meat in the survey, provided the project funding and circumstances during the survey period so allow, and properly select the competent executing body that could carry out the study at a large scope and range. Roundtable participants supported the model ToR for survey of meat markets in the Middle East countries presented by the TA team, agreed to select only 2 Arabian countries for market survey and introduce the market survey ToR for confirmation to TAU. 75. TA had planned to initiate the meat quality research in this year, collect and prepare samples of livestock meat and offal meat from each of the three main geographical regions every year starting from the winter of 2017 and conduct laboratory analysis in consistency for a period of 26 months. 76. Because the executive body is not selected, laboratory preparation and sample collecting did not start in 2017 and is not clear when will start in 2018, it is obvious that the 26-months’ period for the survey will be shortened. In other words, most of the work stated in the ToR will be rushed in the autumn and winter of 2018 and sample preparation will be required from two regions and all such are expected to cause uneven workload for the laboratories, inconsistency of research work and negative impact on the quality of the survey.
MOUs between TA and PPEs
77. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was affected with the project participating enterprises (PPEs) for the purpose of establishing conditions to unify the understanding and efforts of the project team and cooperating companies, clarify the duties and responsibilities of each party, and closely cooperate with each other to reach the project expected outputs with the same unified understanding of the work to be performed within the framework of the TA. In the MoU, the following issues were agreed from the TA team side:
21
• Provide TA needed increasing capacity of the company and capacitating personnel of the company;
• Provide technical and technological advice in developing new product/s or conduct necessary training and assist in developing technical documents;
• Carry out study and experiments to determine composition and quality specifics of new product/s and jointly organize relevant training and promotion activities;
• Jointly organize publication of results of study and experiments. 78. In addition to these general provisions:
i) from “Mongol Food” LLC (Director G.Galbadrakh) side:
• Stabilize quality of products;
• Organize training on food safety control system and issue certification;
• Carry out study and experiment of new types of products with specific purposes; and ii) from “Makh Export” LLC (Director D.Gerelkhuu) side:
• Increase usage of animal slaughtering by-products;
• Carry out study and experiment on an offal meat-based, tradition-oriented new types of products;
• Organize relevant training and promotion activities; and signed to cooperate according to an action plan attached to the MoU.
79. Cooperation will be carried out in accordance to the action plan attached to the MoU.
THREE. OUTPUT 4: MONGOLIAN PRODUCT BRAND(S) DEVELOPED
3.1 Fiber sector 80. The pilot grading program study on cashmere for MNF product development has been started with sampling. A total of 51 samples were taken from goat cashmere, sheep wool and yak hair for laboratory analysis to determine the raw material quality against a standard, its yield rate and growth period. The samples were prepared in Undur-Ulaan soum of Arkhangai and Erdenekhairkhan and Durvuljin soums of Zavkhan aimag that covered yaks, goats and nuclear herds aged 1-5 years old.
Photo 4. Sampling of raw fiber, Undur Ulaan soum, Arkhangai aimag (November, 2017)
Development of MNF standard
81. In order to develop MNF standard, studies on international certificate mark (Wool Mark and Oeko) was done. From this research two different sets of specification were determined as i) Mongolian standard designed for manufacturers; and ii) international standard designed for consumers.
3.2 MNF Certification
82. The Short-term Legal Expert was hired for a period of one month and the activities and findings are summarized in below.
22
The MNF Current status
83. The Mongolian Noble Fiber (MNF) Certification mark has been registered by the Intellectual Property Office of Mongolia (IPOM) on 10.12.2012 which provides protection of the MNF at the National level. Following the National registration and protection the MNF was applied to the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) that was registered on 12.06.2013 under the International Registration No. 1179466. Accordingly, the MNF is effective in all designated countries, except the USA. The USA abandoned the application due to similarity of the words Noble and Fibre. 84. The MNF is registered in international classes 22, 23, 24, 25 and 35. 85. The designated countries are (32 in total):
- European Union (EU) – 27 countries (the list is attached) - GB - Japan - Russian Federation - Switzerland - Turkey.
86. A registration is valid for 10 years both for domestic and international registers. The term can be renewed for subsequent 10-year period upon submission of the request for renewal. Non-use cancellation
87. Starting from 2018 the MNF is at risk for non-use cancellation, which means that if a registered mark is not used for a certain period of time (3-5 consecutive years), the registration is vulnerable to a third party’s cancellation request on the ground of non-use of the mark. If it happens, the mark owner is notified and required to submit evidence of proof that the mark has been used in the preceding years. If the proof cannot be satisfactorily shown, then registration will be cancelled, unless there is a satisfactory reason for non-use. 88. Therefore, it is a matter of importance (it becomes critical) to develop and adopt necessary rules, procedures and standards for a certification program to make the MNF system workable, and determine the correct entity to be responsible for the process and management of the program. Certification program
89. The study also shows there is a need to provide interested parties with general understanding on the Certification program that meets international practice. According to the International Certification Practice & ISO guides the Certification program consists of:
- Standards & specifications; - Authorized/third party Laboratory, competent carry out the required tests (facility,
equipment, personnel etc); - Accreditation Body (standards, decision on conformity assessment); - Certification Body/ Execution Body; - Fees; - License Agreement; - Approved User /Certificate Holder.
Certification mark
90. A Certification mark (CM) is used to identify goods and/or services that meet certain standards or specifications, certified by the Accreditation body with respect to quality and technical performance, place of origin, raw materials, mode of manufacture of goods or
23
performance of services, or other characteristics, as set out in the Specifications. Certification Mark Processing will also be followed by international practice as mentioned above. Obtaining the MNF Certification mark
- Product fall within the MNF national standards and specifications; - Product fully tested to the specifications; - Conformity assessment done by the Accreditation Body; - Factory assessment and test results positive- granting the MNF certification mark
according to the above scheme.
Possible options for MNF institutional structure in Mongolia
91. Since the establishment of the MNF certification mark, the discussion on effective operation of the MNF is being held regarding the legal status and structure of the body to be in charge of the MNF certification process, where the management and control of the program be transferred from Government (MOFALI) to the suitable organization. 92. In this regard the desk study has been conducted on possible two options that might be functional to run the MNF certification program effectively in terms of policing, accreditation, quality control and certifying the MNF for specific products, and in accordance to the related Mongolian legislation.
• Article 19.1 of the Government Law of Mongolia states: “The Government may delegate certain functions of the executive branch to the non-governmental organization on the basis of the relevant law, governmental decision and contract, and finance the related expenses in full or in part”.
• In addition, The ISO/ IEC 17065:2013 Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services that observed by Mongolia, states “The certification body shall be a legal entity, or a defined part of a legal entity, such that the legal entity can be held legally responsible for all its certification activities.
93. Accordingly, the assessment was made on the above mentioned two options in terms of a) being Independent body and b) being a part of the existing NGO - Mongolian Wool and Cashmere Association (MWCA), for example, while the ownership remains with MOFALI in both options and the MOFALI can make a Contract either with an Independent body or with the NGO that shall form the basis for services the MNF Body shall provide. According to the Contract the MOFALI reserves the rights to terminate it in case of non-performances of the obligations. 94. The assessment has been done with regard to advantages and weaknesses of these two versions. The findings would be shared with the relevant stakeholders for further discussions especially with working group members 95. It should be noted that in the MOU signed during the previous mission it was assumed to establish a working group jointly with MOFALI Legal division to identify an institution in charge of the MNF certification mark processes according with the related national laws and regulations. The PMU submitted a letter on proposal for working group composition at the MOFALI. But due to GoM restructuring, this working group has not been established yet. However, the ADB Mission in February agreed with State Secretary of MOFALI to establish a working group consisting of professionals of related organizations including MOFALI lawyers, experts of the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology, Professional Inspection Agency and TA experts. 96. With respect to the progress on MNF Certification program, TA is focusing on development of its standard and specification. As well as, the Testing Laboratory has been identified as a potential reference laboratory for MNF certification and providing relevant
24
technical assistance. However, for effective execution of the MNF certification process, suitable authorized body in charge of the MNF certification management is critical which needs to be established in accordance with the corresponding Mongolian legislation and relevant ISO/IEC 17065:2013.
97. It is recommended that the proper accreditation unit and issue of impartiality need to be highly considered for setting up the authorized body. 3.3 Dairy sector
Research study on milk quality of pastoral Mongolian livestock
98. According to the MOFALI request, the TA has initiated the activities for the research study on milk quality, particularly, on determination of physical, chemical, biochemical characteristics and biological activity of milk of pastoral Mongolian livestock. The Scope of work and Terms of reference for this research has been drafted by TA and discussed at a roundtable meeting involving sector representatives from the MOFALI, research institutes, universities, business associations and milk processing companies. It has been suggested to conduct the research study on quality of milk for camel, yak and goat; as well as to make a comparative analysis with similar studies done in other countries.
99. In addition, following the request the TA has drafted i) a requirement for the legal entities capable of implementing this task; ii) Terms of Reference and iii) Contract draft. However, the entity to execute this task shall be selected in accordance with the rules and procedure of the Bid Evaluation Committee of MOFALI. As of today, the Bid Evaluation Committee has not been confirmed yet which could cause a risk for the timely completion of the study because its seasonal characteristic.
Upgrading standard for milk and milk products
100. According to the survey conducted with MOFALI, a total of 131 standards for milk and dairy products in Mongolia are existing in force. Nevertheless, the following findings suggest that some standards of dairy industry need to be renewed as:
- The 70s and 80s standards are still valid and are no longer suitable for today's conditions;
- Some dairy products are manufactured without standards. 101. Therefore, TA had organized a technical discussion meeting with key stakeholders (MOFALI, Agency for Standardization and Meteorology, dairy manufacturers, universities and research institute) to define the required standards for updating within the scope of the project activities. The parties had a different position in selection of the required standards for upgrading.
102. However, the following issues were suggested to be discussed and confirmed by the next Technical Advisory Committee Meeting:
- Conduct Assessment in all existing standards and identify priorities; - Submit Assessment report to the Technical Committee of the Agency for
Standardization and Meteorology for review and approval; - Develop Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practice that are
applicable in Mongolian condition for milk producers and processors to guide the production systems towards a sustainable agriculture and ecologically safe, obtain harmless products of higher quality.
3.4 Sea-buckthorn sector 103. The general concept for functional food for 11 types of products that developed by IFFE in previous reporting period (Progress report 2, Appendix 14) has been introduced to the
25
PPEs and potential processors. At present, PPE – Khaan Jims has expressed their interest in producing four products of them namely i) Children's Fortified SB Drink; ii) Cholesterol Lowering SB Drink; iii) SB Muscle Building High Protein Drink and iv) Sea Buckthorn 'Good for You' Bio-active drink.

Implementation of Pilot project on “Sheep wool fabric casual blazer”
108. The main concept of this pilot is to produce value added product with Mongolian wool thereby supporting key stakeholders in wool value chain based on potential resources.
26
109. Mongolia produces over 20 thousand tons of sheep wool per year and exports primary processed wool mostly to China. Thanks to the Government incentives on wool supporting herders’ livelihood since 2015, the wool supply to the domestic industries has been substantially increased; and production of worsted yarn and woolen fabrics has also been developed. Recently, factories received a soft loan for producing yarn and fabric and insulation material for building. The capacity is to produce 2.5 million meters of fabric and yarn with 1200 tons of wool (down) fiber. Unfortunately, these products are unknown to the final producers for apparel industry.
110. So that the project attempts to assist PPEs to use the potential resources and establish business cooperation between primary producers and raw material suppliers for finished products. Therefore, the pilot project activities have been initiated with implementing partners as PPE (Mogol Noos Ltd) for yarn production and SME (Blue Sky Ltd) for producing woolen fabric.

Appendix 14. Sea buckthorn product development concept
CONCEPT No 1
Product. Children's Fortified Sea Buckthorn Drink Product Proposition A great tasting Children's drink based on Sea Buckthorn Juice. Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals to ensure children will be fit and healthy. In addition further fortification may be considered now or for later products. Omega 3 oils for example, as these are naturally present in Sea Buckthorn berries and are popular in fortified products for children as they improve heart and brain health and vision (and it is a validated health claim.) The drink will be available in a range of great flavour combinations with Sea Buckthorn. Orange - Blueberry, Tropical etc. Age group 6-12 years Key product attributes Natural as possible, not overly sweet. No sweeteners, artificial colours or flavours. RTD or from concentrate. Good source of energy (calories) and 15% (?)of minerals and vitamins recommended daily intake per serving. Commercial This product should be sold at price point x and command a minimum gross margin y% Size of target market, volume estimates, competitive products. Nutrition and Health Claims Good source of vitamins and minerals essential for children's growth and well-being. Specific claims may be possible around each vitamin and mineral. Good source of omega oils. Claims relating to the EPA/DHA content of omega oils which help the maintenance of body functions and brain. (see attached) Product Description Sea Buckthorn Juice, Orange Juice, Sugar, Natural Flavouring(other ingredients citric acid etc.) Vitamins and Minerals Vitamins B complex (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12) D, Folic Acid, Iron and Calcium.25% of recommended daily value per serving/drink. Omega 3 oils (naturally occurring and supplemented) Packing Current PET aseptic filled bottle. Others. Product Ingredients Sea Buckthorn Juice/Oil (for additional omega 3) - or whole berry ingredient. Sugar - sucrose granulated Natural flavoring - tba
59
Vitamin and mineral premix - blend designed by premix supplier to guarantee minimum vitamin and mineral activity through shelf life of product and will consider heating and processing steps which will reduce vitamin activity. Hopefully local food agents represent some of the larger companies; otherwise we may need to go direct to China/Korea. We do not want a 'bespoke' premix. Nominally, 15% of the Recommended Daily Allowance will permit the use of words such as 'source' or 'contains'. A supplementation level of 15% will satisfy most international legislative bodies when considering a claim of 'source' or 'contains' It is important to check and analyze for existing vitamin and mineral content of the other ingredients (background level) SB juice already has a high level of vitamin C. Product Development Rationale and Procedure
• The drink needs to be great tasting and consumed by children, which, basically means quite sweet and having a 'mainstream' flavor Orange etc.
• SB juice is quite acidic /astringent so will formulate product to contain other juices and natural flavorings. Sugar will need to be added. I am not knowledgeable about preferred children's flavors in Mongolia but suggest you develop three variants and launch two variants. - SB and Orange
- SB and Dark Fruit (Blueberry/Cherry) - SB and Tropical (Peach and Mango)
TYPICAL CHILDREN'S MULTIVITAMIN DRINKS
• The drink formulation will be similar to this - SB Juice(Base) - Other Juice - Sugar (to get total sugars up to about 7% on ready to drink basis) - Natural Flavorings - Preservative? dependent on filling method and shelf life - Vitamin and mineral premix. - Ascorbic acid - will provide Vitamin C supplementation but it is also a good natural anti-oxidant will preserve colors and flavors.
Vitamin and Mineral Premix You do not need the label the specific chemical compounds but these are the likely ingredients of the Vitamin and Mineral Premix. B1 - Thiamine Hydrochloride B2 - Riboflavin B3 - Niacinamide B6 - Pyridoxine Hydrochloride B12 - Cyanocobalamin
60
Folic Acid D - cholecalciferol/ergocalciferol Iron - Ferric Phosphate - or elemental iron Calcium - Calcium Carbonate. The vitamin premix supplier will base the premix formulation on the 'on pack' declaration at the end of the products shelf life. They will guarantee the vitamin activity at this stage. The way of calculating the amount of vitamin compound added is first work out the vitamin /mineral activity from the chemical compound. Then you factor in processing losses (mainly due to heat) and then estimate if some of the activity of the vitamin is lost through the shelf life of the product. When they have calculated they overdose the formula to compensate for this and it is called the 'Overage' High levels of certain vitamin/minerals compounds can have flavor issues and should be tested early in the formulation. The premix supplier will calculate the final formulation Omega Oil Product Depending on raw material used SB Juice or base or additional SB oil there will be a natural content of omega oils. Depending on the claim required e.g. source of omega or high in omega we will calculate the required level of supplementation. For the claim we have to have the correct proportions of DHA and EPA. These supplements are fish or algae based and microencapsulated to make them water soluble, and as a result are very expensive. I think this supplementation route is complex and expensive and unless critical to the product proposition should not be included in the initial stages. Processing/Capital Equipment All mixing and preparation can take place in a batch syrup make up tank. All ingredients including the vitamin mineral premix should be readily soluble/dispersible. The vitamin and mineral premix will be blended in a 'carrier' and a sensible practical quantity added to each batch. Other labeling Based on the other ingredients present calculate the other nutritional information, Ingredients declaration etc.
