Description

While its mining-driven GDP growth figures in 2011-2014 were among the highest in the world, Mongolia is now experiencing the full effects of the so-called 'resource curse'. Corruption and mistrust are rife, its international financial reputation is in tatters, and the domestic economy flounders from crisis to crisis. One sector, however, still appears promising to policymakers: the livestock that now graze Mongolia's vast pasturelands in record numbers. As a former socialist bloc state, Mongolia once exported significant amounts of meat to fellow socialist countries; however, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, exports dwindled. Today, the Mongolian government and international donor organizations are promoting meat export as a key industry for development in order to halt the rural exodus, and reduce stocking rates, thereby combatting grassland degradation, while generating new employment opportunities for the newly marginalised peri-urban population.
