Mongolia expects good harvests due to favorable weather
Mongolia started its autumn harvests Tuesday, expecting to see the fifth consecutive crop increase annually thanks to favorable weather conditions so far this year.
According to official estimates, the country is expected to harvest 468,000 tons of wheat, 208,900 tons of potato, 99,400 tons of vegetable and 28,600 tons of rapeseed.
Industry and Agriculture Minister Kh. Battulga said at a recent government meeting that thanks to the favorable weather conditions since early 2012, Mongolia was expected to have another bumper harvest.
Mongolia's wheat output in 2005 registered 75,000 tons, with most of the country's flour and rice then imported from China and Russia.
Since its third land reclamation campaign in 2008, Mongolia's grain production has increased for four years running, and its grain output in 2011 totalled 430,000 tons, making it self-sufficient.
