Mongolia enters the world market with camel milk
Mongolia is preparing to export camel milk, whose products are already in demand on the local market. It is planned to launch a camel milk processing plant in the Umnugov aimag in the south of the country.
The main goal of the project is to support local farmers, increase yields and improve production methods using the latest technologies.
The camel milk production project started in 2021 under the name “Mongol temee” (Mongolian camel). According to B.Tsend-Ayush, Executive Director of Solid Partners, traditional methods of animal husbandry have shown their limitations. Therefore, in 2023, a farm was established in cooperation with FAO, which implements modern methods of milking and caring for animals. As a result, the productivity of camels has increased significantly: one camel gives up to 3 liters of milk per day, which is a significant achievement and opens up opportunities for further productivity increases to 4 liters.
Camel milk is appreciated for its unique properties. It contains three times more vitamin C than cow's milk, and its composition is close to mother's milk. Regular consumption of camel milk is believed to promote health and reduce the risk of various diseases.
Earlier it was reported that the construction of a camel milk processing plant is being completed in Mongolia.

There are about half a million camels in Mongolia, whose products are already available on the domestic market. Producers are actively engaged in training and advising farmers to improve the quality of milk and its compliance with international standards, which is the key to successful exports.
