Development projects of the industry

These projects are initiated either by the advisors of IQDHO which note needs during their visits in companies or by production, service or marketing customers which approach us with particular needs.

As a non-profit-making organization whose mandate is the development of the sector, our philosophy is to make strategic choices according to the potential repercussions for the whole of the industry before agreeing to take part in a new mandate or project. The request for development was extended to the sectors other than the production, for example: landscaping, cities and lawn maintenance services.

To give an idea of the large range of topics approached, here’s a very short list of projects on which IQDHO worked during the last ten years.

• Selection and marketing of ornamental plants in Mongolia
