  5. Biotechnology activities The main activities of biotechnology going at present in Mongolia are: • - research and production of diagnostics, vaccines and bioproducts for human and animal health • - production of food and fodder additives, also biofertilizers • - increase biological resources of useful and rare plants by methods of cell culture techniques • - development of embryo transfer methods to increase number of high quality animals, also to use this method for animal conservation purposes

  6. International collaborations • APCTT • ICGEB • APO • the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology • the Japan Bioindustry Association • and other institutions.

  7. Problems • High investment costs • Lack of qualified personnel • Lack of sufficient research laboratories • Shortage of experiences • Lack of inadequate financial supports

  8. Participation in BINASIA • exchange information related to the national and international biotechnology activities • will serve as a communication link among researchers, policy makers, businessmen and other people with varied information on biotechnology to promote international collaboration in different areas of biotechnology • the setting up a homepage on the Internet ( or CD-ROM) will give easy and free access to all the member countries • Mongolia needs in good computers
