Value chain development needs for fruit and berries in Mongolia

Producing fruit and berries requires years of vigorous work, finance, experience, and skills and is usually developed with consistent and long-term government support in Mongolia. This policy brief was produced during the implementation of the UNDP-FAO SCALA programme. Through the programme, a systems-level assessment was conducted to identify fruit and berry tree seed varieties with higher adaptive potential to natural and regional conditions based on climate risk and suitability analysis. The assessment was part of the “Billion Trees National Movement Initiative” carried out for the implementation of transformative climate action in the land-use and agriculture sector and aligns with the goals in Mongolia’s Nationally Determined Contribution.
