The “Autumn Green Days” expanded trade fair will be held at the National Sports Stadium from September 21 to 27, bringing together producers and businesses representing all 21 provinces of Mongolia. Officials said this year’s event marks the 21st edition of the annual fair, which aims to strengthen the capital’s sustainable food supply, connect consumers with high-quality domestic products, expand producers’ market access and sales opportunities, promote new technologies and organic production, and provide consumers with direct access to farmers’ fresh harvests.
The participants from all 21 provinces will showcase products from the national manufacturing, crop farming, livestock and light industry sectors, giving consumers an opportunity to purchase a variety of locally produced goods in one location. The fair also serves as a platform for domestic producers to establish direct links with consumers, promote their products and explore new market opportunities. By bringing producers closer to consumers, the event is expected to contribute to increased sales of locally manufactured and agricultural products while supporting farmers and businesses outside the capital city.
Speaking about the event, Minister of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry Ts.Iderbat said the government has issued loans for 1,314 summer greenhouses, backed by 2.1 billion MNT from the state budget, as part of efforts to increase vegetable production and supply while reducing seasonal dependence.
The initiative is expected to expand greenhouse cultivation by 4.6 hectares. According to the preliminary harvest balance, Mongolia is expected to harvest 555,000 tonnes of grain, including 497,100 tonnes of wheat, as well as 168,000 tonnes of potatoes, 218,000 tonnes of vegetables, 50,000 tonnes of oilseed crops and 201,000 tonnes of fodder crops this year.
The figures reflect ongoing efforts to strengthen domestic agricultural production and improve the availability of locally grown food. Increasing greenhouse cultivation is also intended to help maintain vegetable supplies beyond the main harvest season and reduce reliance on seasonal supply.
