Gobi Corporation is collaborating with the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and SFA (SUSTAINABLE FIBRE ALLIANCE) on a cashmere production project under the slogan “From nomadic herders to worldwide brand”. The project focuses on pasture use, animal husbandry and the development of cashmere farming.
The project opened in 2018 with a training session to introduce the appropriate use of pastures and suitable habits of animal husbandry, cashmere preparation and the outcomes of these practices to the local herder unions of Dornogovi and Bayankhongor provinces.
Following the implementation of the training an assembly was held on the 18th of October at the conference hall of Blue-Sky Hotel to report the results of the “From nomadic herders to worldwide brand” project. The main agendas of the conference consisted of reporting the outcomes of the training given to the two unions of local herders and discussions on potential future risks that could affect nature.
Gobi corporation highlights its dedication towards the project and acknowledges the risk of improper pasture use promising to invest 150 thousand euros and strive in being an active member of the cashmere industry.
Overall the results proved the project has had a number of outcomes, including improved value and quality of Mongolia cashmere.
