Technopark for Belarusian mechanical engineering products in Mongolia

          There are plans to set up a technopark for Belarusian mechanical engineering products in Mongolia. The matter was discussed at the meeting of Belarusian Industry Minister Dmitry Katerinich and Mongolian Industry and Agriculture Minister Khaltmaa Battulga in Minsk. The technopark will enable service and maintenance of the Belarusian agricultural machines sold to Mongolia. The sides plan to sign an investment contract. It will be signed by the Mongolian ministry on the one side and Belarusian agricultural mechanical engineering companies on the other side. Minsk Tractor Works, Gomselmash, Bobruiskagromash, and Lidselmash have expressed their interest in the project. In turn, the Mongolian side will find companies ready to work with the technopark. Khaltmaa Battulga remarked that Belarus tractors are well-known in Mongolia. They were used in the 1950s to develop virgin lands. At present Mongolia buys tractors from several foreign companies, including Chinese ones. However, Mongolian customers are not satisfied with the quality of these machines and are considering the possibility of cooperating with Belarus for the sake of setting up the technopark and enabling all the services. Apart from that, Mongolia is interested in buying small-capacity tractors for farmers. The possibility of implementing other Belarusian-Mongolian projects is under consideration.
