Alfalfa Seeds Export to Mongolia — Kohenoor International

Traditional Herding Meets Modern Forage — Уламжлалт мал аж ахуй ба орчин үеийн тэжээлийн ургамал

Mongolia's vast steppe has sustained nomadic herding traditions for millennia. With over 70 million head of livestock — including cattle, sheep, horses, and the world-famous cashmere goats — Mongolia's pastoral economy is the backbone of rural livelihoods. However, increasingly harsh dzud winters and overgrazing have driven demand for cultivated forage crops. Alfalfa (царгас) is emerging as the ideal supplementary feed, providing protein-rich nutrition that boosts cashmere quality in goats and milk yields in dairy cattle. Kohenoor International's cold-hardy varieties, particularly KN92 and Sardi, have demonstrated strong performance in Mongolia's continental climate with its extreme temperature swings from -40°C winters to +35°C summers.

Cashmere and Dairy: Mongolia's Growing Feed Demand — Ноолуур ба сүүний салбар: Монголын тэжээлийн эрэлт

Mongolia is the world's second-largest cashmere producer, and the quality of cashmere fiber is directly linked to goat nutrition. Studies show that alfalfa-supplemented diets increase cashmere fiber length by 15-20% and improve fiber fineness. Meanwhile, Mongolia's dairy industry centered around Ulaanbaatar is modernizing rapidly, with new processing plants requiring consistent milk supply year-round. Alfalfa hay provides the crude protein (19-23%) and digestible fiber essential for maintaining milk production through the long winter months when natural pastures are dormant under snow cover.

Shipping via Tianjin Transit Port — Тяньжин дамжин өнгөрөх боомтоор тээвэрлэх

As a landlocked nation, Mongolia relies on transit ports for international trade. Kohenoor International ships alfalfa seeds via Tianjin, China — Mongolia's primary maritime gateway. From Tianjin, cargo moves by rail through Erlian/Zamyn-Üüd border crossing directly to Ulaanbaatar and other distribution centers. We handle all transit documentation including Chinese customs transit permits, Mongolian phytosanitary requirements under GAAS (General Agency for Specialized Inspection), and HS Code 120921 classification. Door-to-door transit time from Karachi to Ulaanbaatar averages 35-45 days. We also arrange shipments via the Trans-Mongolian railway for clients in Darkhan and Erdenet.

Ulaanbaatar and Central Province Agriculture — Улаанбаатар ба Төв аймгийн хөдөө аж ахуй

The Tuul River valley surrounding Ulaanbaatar and the irrigated areas of Selenge and Darkhan-Uul provinces represent Mongolia's most productive agricultural zones. Government initiatives under the "Third Crop Campaign" are promoting alfalfa cultivation to reduce dependence on imported feed and build strategic hay reserves against dzud emergencies. Kohenoor varieties are well-suited to these regions, with Sardi offering excellent regrowth after cutting and KN92 delivering high biomass yields under irrigation. With 3-4 cuts achievable in Mongolia's short but intense growing season (May-September), our varieties maximize the limited warm-weather window.
