Outer Mongolia has a relatively small population and a not-so-large domestic demand market. Doing entrepot trade mainly depends on the Chinese and Russian markets. Therefore, when selecting products, more consideration should be given to the commodities with demand differences between China and Russia, such as energy products of Russia and light industrial products of China. Maybe business opportunities can be found through transshipment in Outer Mongolia.
