Mongolia closed its borders as a measure to contain the spread of COVID-19 in the country. This move resulted in many factories reducing their production. In effect, herders are not able to sell raw materials including wool, cashmere, as well as meat products to the factories. Herders rely on selling wool for their livelihood, but right now, the price has dropped as no one is buying. They are asking for their government to help them by controlling the market price so they can overcome the challenges brought about by the pandemic.
