Building

Cooperative Dairy in Khovsgol

We are working on the final touches on a new cooperative dairy for dairy farmers in Khovsgol, Mongolia. The dairy increases the farmers’ ability to produce and sell their high-quality dairy products at a more reasonable price as an engine to prevent poverty in the region. The dairy is jointly owned by the farmers in the Khatgal area.

Project info

The project aims to build a cooperative dairy owned by dairy farmers in the Khovsgol area. The goal is to improve the farmers’ possibilities of producing and selling milk products of high quality.

A dairy cooperative including a dairy building will improve the farmers’ options of how they can sell their products and increase their earnings. At the moment, a lack of improved production and storage facilities means that the farmers can only sell their products during a short season. By establishing a dairy, the farmers can increase their productivity and revenue and move towards a financially safer future. The project supports traditional and sustainable animal husbandry and contributes to fewer farmers having to give up their existing livelihood.

DEVELOPMENT TARGETS
  • Preventing and reducing poverty among traditional dairy farmers by improving their opportunities for producing and selling the dairy products
  • Making sure that the value increase of the milk goes to the farmers through a cooperatively run dairy
  • Improving the knowledge level in the cooperative through the education of local dairy producers
