What do you think of Mongolia giving 30,000 sheep to China at this time?

There is news in Mongolia at last, but it will take some time to brush mutton charcoal hot pot.

Many people may wonder, since Mongolia has announced that it will send sheep to China, why should it take about half a year? This is not generous at all.

Before answering this question, it is necessary for everyone to understand the real life of Mongolian animal husbandry and herders.

Animal husbandry has been a pillar industry in Mongolia since ancient times. In the long history of thousands of years, relying on the natural grassland, the animal husbandry here is very developed, and the Mongolian people on the grassland have been nurtured and expanded.

Taking the data of 20 18 as an example, there are more than 70 million livestock in Mongolia.

Among them, there are more than 32 million sheep, nearly 30 million goats and the rest are cattle, horses and camels.

According to this data, the total number of Mongolian sheep exceeds 62 million. Even though Mongolia has a population of 3.2 million, its per capita possession is the highest in the world.

62 million sheep were given to 30,000 sheep in China for free, which seems to be 9 Niu Yi hairs in total.

However, if calculated from the per capita income of Mongolia, this is an expensive expenditure.

In 20 19, Mongolia's GDP was 136 billion US dollars, and its per capita income was only 4 133 US dollars, less than half that of China.

So what is the concept of 30 thousand sheep? For example, according to the price of Mongolian mutton, the slaughter price of a sheep is about $50, and 30,000 heads are equivalent to RMB 6.5438+million. If all of them are distributed to Mongolian residents, about everyone can get about RMB in 3 yuan.

In Mongolian nomadic families, the number of sheep ranges from hundreds to thousands. Therefore, every time a distant guest arrives, the uninhibited Mongols will roast the whole sheep and warmly entertain the guests.

But this does not mean the price of cabbage. For herders, each one is extremely difficult to raise and slaughter. For many years, due to the global climate and dry environment, Mongolia has been overexploiting minerals, which has always caused the herdsmen's grasslands to face desertification.

In addition, due to the relatively backward technology and management of animal husbandry, its slaughter rate has not been high. Besides, we have to face a very bad winter. If we are unlucky, in a snowy and low-temperature winter, there will often be a large-scale death of livestock, and in the end, we will often work for a year or even go bankrupt directly.

Therefore, every sheep is extremely difficult to cultivate and is the most important asset of nomadic families. This time, the herdsmen donated the best sheep in the sheepfold to China (later, Mongolia bought these sheep from the herdsmen and gave them to China). The reason why it took so long is inseparable from the previous work. The point is that you have to let the herdsmen fatten the sheep. Of course, we should also look at Mongolia's donation objectively.

First of all, we should thank him for his righteous act, but we should also see the truth. For example, China is one of the largest meat importers in Mongolia, and a considerable part of Mongolia's materials need to be imported from China, which is based on China's strong trade strength and international status. In addition to the friendship at the national level, the purchasing power of China tourists has also greatly moved Mongolia. For example, some European fashion clothes in Ulaanbaatar in recent years were bought by tourists from China.

In addition, Mongolia's rich grassland nomadic culture, desert natural ecological landscape, history and humanities can form a huge tourism market. However, relying on backpackers and individual travelers for a long time is difficult to drive its tourism. Obviously, the spending power of China tourists is among the best in the world.
