SOLUTIONS

“As we are preserving the land when the grass is growing, the pastureland is enriched with more plant varieties.”

I used to earn 2 to 3 million Mongolian Tugrik ($1,100) annually at best. After receiving a loan and attending training, I purchased more livestock and increased the number of products I make and improved the product packaging. My annual income has now increased to 10 million Mongolian Tugrik ($3,800).
