4.5 Mongolia Storage and Milling Company Contact List

Storage can be difficult to find. There is a lack of good quality storage in Mongolia.  There are older concrete structures that are often used for storing stock feed.  Most warehousing in Mongolia has no temperature control which poses a challenge during winter where temperatures can drop to minus 45. NEMA is able to make storage space available in most provincial centres but these are generally used to store fodder and are of varying quality. There are 24 companies which have been certified to operate customs bonded warehouses in Mongolia (see annex - Customs Bonded Warehouses and Temporary Storage). Commercial companies such as Tavan Bogd Group and Tuushin Co and government ministries may be able to provide space in secure locations for the erection of mobile storage units.

The approximate rates:

  • Standard warehouse 1m2 - 5,000 tg per month
  • Refrigerated warehouse 1 ton - 1,750 tg per day

Commercial Storage

There are a number of larger holding companies such as Nomin and Tavan Bodg Group that have public storage including cold storage and temperature controlled warehouses. Most of this is located in Ulaanbaatar.
