Mongolia, guest country of 2022

With an area of ​​1.5 million km² and 67.3 million head of cattle for 3.4 million inhabitants, Mongolia has considerable agricultural potential. The vast Mongolian steppes make it a favorite place for extensive and sustainable livestock farming.
80% of Mongolian territory is dedicated to grazing. Great similarities with the farming method practiced in the Massif Central. Agriculture is also a pillar of Franco-Mongolian cooperation.

Very committed to the subject of pastoralism and all the issues related to it, Mongolia is at the initiative of the proposal validated by the FAO to declare 2026, International Year of Pastoralism.

It is therefore no coincidence that the SOMMET, which wants to be part of sustainability, has made it its country of honor for this new edition.
In this context, to promote its agriculture to visitors, Mongolia will have a stand in the reception hall and will exhibit an authentic Mongolian yurt on the outer square.

An exhibition of yaks as well as a Mongolian food stand will complete the system.
B2B meetings and farm visits will be offered to the delegation throughout the duration of the show.
And to find out more about these unique and sustainable farming methods as well as the opportunities for development and cooperation with French companies, a conference on Mongolian agriculture will be held on Tuesday, October 4, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (conference center , room 2).

Throughout the day of October 4, a Mongolian delegation of 40 people, led by the Minister of Agriculture, will stroll through the aisles of the show.
The 2 ministers, French and Mongolian, will meet. An agricultural cooperation agreement should be signed between the two countries, around 9:30 a.m., at the Mongolian stand.
