Poverty to be tackled through support to vegetable production. “Inclusive and Sustainable Vegetable Production and Marketing Project” of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation was launched to promote vegetable gardening and consumption by poor households in peri-urban areas of UB city. The project will work with vegetable farmers mainly in the central region of Mongolia including the suburbs of Ulaanbaatar city, providing them with greater knowledge and higher-quality seeds through collaboration with national agricultural institutions and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The “Inclusive and Sustainable Vegetable Production and Marketing Project” is believed to providing support for increased and diversified production, storage, processing, marketing and consumption, which will benefit both rural households’ livelihoods and the national economy. With more than 63,000 predominantly small-scale vegetable growers throughout Mongolia, the vegetable sector has become vital in poverty alleviation and as a source of healthy food for an increasingly urbanized population.
