Mongolia exports 1,000 traditional gers annually
Mongolia is one of the world’s largest producers of gers, also known as yurts. The country exports around 1,000 of these traditional dwellings each year to various countries including China, Russia, Australia, Canada, USA, Germany, France, England, and South Korea. However, the majority of these exported gers are sold through intermediaries, which often results in local producers receiving only a fraction of the final sale price.
One company, Ashid Ger LLC, aims to change this by manufacturing gers in its own workshop and selling directly to customers without any intermediaries. The company’s gers, which are branded under the name Original Yurts, are made from materials that are more suitable for the hot and humid climates found outside of Mongolia. The yurts can be purchased through the Originalyurts.com website.
By cutting out intermediaries, Ashid Ger LLC aims to provide a fairer deal for local producers and offer customers a more affordable price for high-quality gers. Customers can also benefit from the company’s expertise and experience in manufacturing and delivering gers.
The company’s approach to yurt manufacturing and sales has the potential to revolutionize the industry and offer a more sustainable and fair model for local manufacturers. With the rising popularity of yurts as alternative homes and eco-friendly lodging options, the demand for high-quality gers produced without intermediaries is expected to grow.
