During the meeting, the Undersecretary of State Adam Nowak pointed out that Poland and Mongolia were united by long-term cooperation and stressed that we could be a country supporting Mongolia’s relations with the European Union countries. Deputy Minister Nowak also declared readiness of the research institutes supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for cooperation with their Mongolian counterparts.

– Cooperation between our veterinary and phytosanitary services is going well, and the export of Polish agri-food products to Mongolia is implemented without any disturbances. We hope that the Action Plan for Comprehensive Polish–Mongolian Partnership for 2025-2030 signed in March 2025 will contribute to the further development of bilateral contacts in the field of agriculture – stressed Deputy Minister Nowak.

The Mongolian Ambassador presented the conditions for the functioning of agriculture and the agri-food industry in Mongolia. She expressed interest in acquiring knowledge (know-how) by Mongolia in the field of technology in agriculture and agri-food processing.

Trade in agri-food products with Mongolia

We record a positive trade balance in agri-food trade with Mongolia. In 2024, the export of agri-food products to this country reached the value of EUR 43.7 million, which means an increase by 18% when compared to the year 2023. Agri-food products account for the largest share of Polish export to Mongolia. Polish apples enjoy the greatest interest of Mongolian consumers (26% of the value of agri-food export in 2024). We also export fruit and vegetable products, mineral waters, chocolate and other products containing cocoa.
