Study estimates the economic and environmental impacts in Mongolia's cashmere value chain, indicating significant trade-offs.
• Trade-offs between economic and environmental gains in the cashmere value chain are vital. • Electricity use during the dehairing process is the highest contributor to GHG emissions. • Transportation of dehaired cashmere to end processors is the second-highest contributor to GHG emissions. • Prohibiting the export of scoured cashmere from Mongolia would increase the economic trade-off.
