M-grass steps up efforts to ease fodder shortage in Inner Mongolia

Inner Mongolia M-grass Ecology and Environment (Group) Co Ltd, an ecological environment engineering company, has donated 20,000 metric tons of grass, worth 20 million yuan ($3 million), to help herdsmen in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region tide over fodder shortage in the winter season.

Because of the cold air currents blowing from the north, the east and northeastern parts of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region undergo a severe cold spell during the winter season. Temperatures in the region dip sharply and there are also chances of heavy snowfall. This could lead to a severe shortage of fresh fodder for livestock in the region.

M-grass offered 1,500 tons of grass last month to 300 families in the Xin Barga Left Banner (county) in Inner Mongolia.
