Chinese poultry integrator Hennan Yongda Food Group said it has started chicken exports to Mongolia, with the first shipment of 20 tonnes arriving at Ulaanbaatar on June 21. Yongda, which has a slaughtering capacity of about 150 million birds a year, won in March the export permit for an annual quota of 6000 tonnes. Last year, the company exported more than 17,000 tonnes of chicken products to 13 countries including South Africa, Japan and South Korea. “
Exporting to Mongolia is an important step for our global strategy. It may pave the way for our market expansion to Central Asia and Europe,” Chairman Feng Yongshan said.
