Also, the Cabinet discussed the meat supply issues and concluded that the supply and distribution chain is not satisfactory nor appropriate, because the meat goes through the meat poachers before coming to the hands of the consumers and there is no restrictions and state control on meat export, thus in connection with the above reasons Ulaanbaatar is facing meat shortages and inflated prices. Henceforth, the Cabinet resolved to provide an additional 15 tons of meat reserve by July 01, for urban consumption and to organize retail trading of the meat to the consumers and sign a meat supply agreement with the authorities of the aimags. Also, it was resolved to grant the Capital City Governor’s Office with a permission to receive 40 billion MNT loans, that is needed for providing the meat reserve from the State Fund and it has been resolved respectively to ban the meat and meat product export till July 01, 2012.
