RUSSIA, March 14 - The Government of Russia decided to simplify humanitarian grain shipments to Mongolia and has already issued the relevant instructions to customs and other oversight agencies. This will help Mongolian cattle-breeders facing problems with a severe winter manage this difficult season.

Sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowfall have impacted the Mongolian cattle-breeding sector. Cattle are perishing due to winter fodder shortages, and thousands of cattle-breeders are in a difficult situation.

Mongolia needs fodder to save its farm animals. As instructed by the Russian Government, the Republic of Buryatia is sending 420 grain trucks with 8,500 tonnes of grain fodder (wheat and oats) as tax-free and duty-free humanitarian aid to Mongolia.

Grain fodder high with protein will help the farm animals affected by feed shortages to recuperate.
