Mongolia faces significant challenges for economic development and growth given various environmental, political, and infrastructural factors, however wild blueberries provided a rare opportunity for development. A unique combination of public-private partnerships and early establishment of a buyer, among other factors, proved vital to the success and sustainability of this operation. This case study examines the efforts, successes, and failures of the development of sustainable economic activity around the Mongolia wild blueberry crop from initial interest to the present, offering key insights and lessons for developing profitable agricultural products in low –income and/or –resource settings.

Case study #2 Quinoa Market Development in the Andean Region Synopsis
• An innovative consortium provided the opportunity for introduction of a niche ‘red quinoa’ from the Andean Region of Peru into the USA food service and retail market. This venture represents a rare prospect for this poor geographic area with limited resources characterized by limited manufacturing potential, unskilled labor, and distance from markets. The project team brought together a consortium of stakeholders from the public and private sectors, NGOs, local growers, and community and agricultural leaders to advise on the production and market for red quinoa. This case study explores the best practices and lessons learned starting from the identification of red quinoa as a niche product to identifying a buyer and the unique introduction of this product to the market.

Case study #3 Paraguayan Hair Synopsis
Paraguay’s current economy is largely informal with a significant proportion of the population living off of subsistence farming. As a landlocked country, the majority of Paraguay’s limited commodities are exported to its neighbors Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The project Paraguay Vende, or Paraguay Sells, brought an optimistic entrepreneur seeking new industries for development in Paraguay. While most business development experts had come to understand that dozens of industries had already been established and developed in Paraguay, this entrepreneur saw an opportunity for something it seemed no one else had considered. Paraguayan women all have dark, straight hair great for making wigs, similar to established ‘suppliers’ and markets for Brazilian and Indian hair. Hair is a widespread commodity easily accessed, transported, and utilized. After collecting the new commodity, the entrepreneur exported the hair to India to make wigs. This example represents a unique case of utilizing previously unseen commodities and matching them to international demand and markets.
