A rapeseed oil production plant in Mongolia's northern Selenge province has signed an export agreement with South Korean firm Dansuk Industrial Co., Ltd. The plant, capable of producing at least 30,000 tons of rapeseed oil per year, aims to start by exporting 800 tons to South Korea, with plans to expand to other countries, including China. This marks the first time Mongolia will export vegetable oil. The country is strategically aiming to diversify its economy, which is heavily reliant on mining, by fully satisfying domestic demand for food commodities and becoming a food exporter.
