Mongolian food producers are visited France for a business trip as part of the “Food Supply and food security” national movement initiated by the President of Mongolia, U. Khurelsukh. In this context, food and agriculture producers visited Rangis International Market, which is ranked as a world largest wholesale food market. The Rangis International Market is the principal market of Paris, mainly for food and horticultural product.
Specifically, the Office of the President of Mongolia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Mongolian Chamber of Commerce and Industry are jointly organizing this business trip. Ch. Davaabayar, Advisor to the President of Mongolia, and G. Olziisaikhan, Head of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, led the trip.
The market occupies around 578 acres; just the seafood section is the size of a soccer field. There are 19 restaurants, a bank, a post office, a hotel, gas stations, and the market’s own police force. There are cherries from Brazil, peaches from the south of France, fish from Sri Lanka. The Pavillon des Fromages features more than 400 varieties of cheese. In the produce hall, rows upon rows of delectable fruit and vegetables lie arranged artfully to bring out maximum visual appeal. Freshly slaughtered turkeys, pigeons, grouse, and wild rabbits, all lie tucked within white boxes, ready to be shipped or sold on sight. Work begins around midnight, as the 13,000 workers at the market prepare to sell to clients, many of whom represent some of the most popular restaurants in Paris.
