High quality Mongolian lamb meat now in Kuwait
After obtaining the Halal accreditation from the GCC Accreditation center based in Saudi Arabia, Mongolia has started exporting around 30 to 100 tons of chilled halal lamb meat on a weekly basis to Kuwait.
For the first time ever, on October 15, Mongolia officially began exporting chilled lamb meat to Kuwait, marking a historically significant moment in its trade relations. The shipment was received by “United Universal Meat Trading & Food Stuff” LLC of Kuwait.
The Mongolian Embassy in Kuwait has been steadfastly working to start the export of Mongolian meat and meat products to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Kuwait, since July 2022.
After successfully obtaining the Halal accreditation from the GCC Accreditation center based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and registering it to the Public Authority for Food and Nutrition of Kuwait, Mongolia has begun its first ever chilled lamb meat export to Kuwait, remarking it as the Mongolia’s first ever chilled meat export to the international market.
The importing entity, “United Universal Meat Trading and Food Stuff” LLC has confirmed that they are planning to import around 30 to 100 tons of chilled lamb meat from Mongolia per week. The quantity will increase in due course of time depending on the supply capacity.
This development will have profound economic effects. The meat export from Mongolia to Kuwait opens doors for increased organic agricultural products to other GCC countries and this export of chilled lamb meat from Mongolia will strengthen trade and economic ties between Mongolia and the Kuwait to a large extent. Nonetheless, both countries can benefit from greater cooperation in areas like food security, agriculture and so forth.
The President of Mongolia, H.E. Khurelsukh Ukhnaa has initiated a “Food Revolution” national campaign to ensure food supply and security. This is to implement the goals of sustainable development, and to become an exporting country for organic food products including meat, H.E. Sergelen Purev, Ambassador of Mongolia to Kuwait said on Wednesday.
Importantly, Mongolian meat and meat products are considered as fully organic due to the vast, unpolluted pasturelands of Mongolia, which provide an ideal environment for livestock farming, thereby enabling the production of fully organic, high quality meat products that are well known in international markets.
