c. Though meat market value chain study might be important, but conduct this survey after reviewing the similar study in other aimags and preliminary evaluation of meat value chain in Uvs aimag. If this is found to be troublesome, then conduct meat value chain survey specifically for Uvs aimag. d. Improve operations of local laboratories and support the operation 5. Market day or similar events are organized at aimag and soum level and this event is found useful by the businesses. Therefore the project could support the organization of such events targeting on attracting large population or support on promotion & marketing side so that the frequency of events are close (similar to Sunday market day etc) 6. Many of the obstacles in businesses are related to availability of inputs, there is direct relevance to access to financial services, terms and bank loan interest rate. Therefore: a. Get rural business operators involved with loan guarantee program and provide with assistance in getting low interest loan for buying required equipment b. Reduce costs associated with loan study by getting auditing companies carry out the loan study and provide businesses with training on financial record keeping, c. Identify and implement ways to use commercial bank credit information database (specially for the equipment sold in leasing terms) effectively d. Create financial services (with lower interest rate) for the planting business operators and link business with insurance companies Conclusion • Current situation of Uvs aimag BDS market Findings of this survey demonstrate that soum based non-herding businesses are operating at small household level while the aimag center based businesses have large scale sustainable operations. For the non herding businesses, efficient and productive equipment supply is important, but businesses often lack information regarding equipment supply. None of the survey respondent-businesses have knowledge on the equipment repair and maintenance service providers. Herding business operators have relatively adequate supply of business inputs and they usage level is pretty high. Large portion of herder income is generated from meat and animals sales as there are large meat processing and exporting businesses run in Uvs aimag witnessing that the market is sustainable. Therefore linking the stakeholders in this market is prerequisite for the systematic development of this type of market. It was also observed that local business operators are ready to pay for BDSs, but there is limited number of institutions providing such services currently. T/TA can be potentially provided by local organizations such as Sain Us NGO, Ulaangom College and San Audit LLC as they have advanced businesses that covers their costs by the income. Support these institutions and strengthening their capacity would enable the BDSs provided to local businesses with high quality and sustainable manner. These BDS providers should not limit their activities with only T/TA, but also they are able to provide other services that add value to rural businesses and individuals. Likely, isolation from capital city may affect the local businesses, but still there is gap in local businesses in supplying the local demand. For developing businesses to meet local demand, high quality and sustainable provision of BDS plays key role. • Project involvement in BDS market Based on the survey findings and consolidation, we recommended eight steps as stated below: 1. Provide required T/TA for rural businesses 2. Build capacity of local BDS providers 25
3. Conduct assessment on wheat value chain and support the stakeholders 4. Develop meat sub-sector intensively 5. Support the promotion (not organization) of market day and other similar events 6. Support delivery of financial services to local business with more favorable conditions • Supporting Embedded services that add value to rural businesses In relation to recommendations of this study, following services can also be considered as potential for delivering embedded services: 1. Support and train tractors and combine renting businesses, so that they will be able to provide advice on sowing and seed making techniques to small and medium plantation businesses. Also collaborating with high quality seed suppliers and linking these tractor and combain renting businesses, they will be able to supply seeds when they provide renting equipment. 2. Vets can also provide basic vet training to herders when they supply vet services, vaccination, de-warming, and washing 3. Expand additional services that required by government such as Sain Tus NGO is providing currently for food producers. 4. Since demand for more efficient equipment is increasing as soums connected to reliable electricity network, T/TA providers can maintain link with big equipment importers, suppliers and commercial banks that provide finance lease, so that they are able to collect and arrange orders from rural businesses and herders, manage transportations and provide T/TA on equipment assembling, installation, usage and production using these equipment. Having completed the Uvs aimag BDS market survey, we identified the overall situation of BDS market through interviewing with 26 herding and non-herding businesses of 6 soums and 8 BDS providers. For more detailed outcomes of the survey and studying the relevance of factors, further in-depth survey can be carried out. 26
