"We participated in the previous expos with cashmere clothes for adults. Now we are going to participate in this expo with the aim of introducing our newly released children's cashmere clothes to Chinese consumers," she said.
   
Founded in 2003, Teso Group, operating in business sectors such as food manufacturing, construction, real estate management, finance, investment, export, and tourism services, is one of the largest private enterprises in Mongolia.

"We are going to participate in the upcoming expo with a total of 13 types of products. At this expo, we are focusing on presenting our newly launched camel milk drinks and camel milk candy of the 'Mongolian Camel' brand, to Chinese consumers, in addition to the dairy products we have showcased in previous expos," he said.

Currently, the company is exporting its dairy products to several countries such as China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

"Of course, China is our company's top export destination. Therefore, through the expo, we are giving importance to studying and understanding our user behavior or to finding out how users interact with our products," noted Enkhbayar.

Khuns Complex LLC, one of the largest meat and meat product manufacturers in Mongolia, is going to participate in the China-Mongolia Expo for the third time in a row, and for the first time as a product exporter.

The company has become the first Mongolian company to be officially licensed to export meat products to China.
   
"In the past, we used to export heat-processed meat and raw meat under quota, but now we produce export-targeted and finished products with added value, technological know-how and innovation," Battuvshin said, noting that the company is working to increase types of its products that it can sell in the Chinese market, which is its target export market.
