This year, the Mongolian harvest was relatively good. The statistics are as follows: 460.7 thousand tonnes of wheat were harvested, 153.7 thousand tonnes of potatoes, and 93.5 thousand tones of other vegetables. This means that Mongolia fully meets domestic flour and potato demand and half that for vegetables, according to statement by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry.

Nearly 320 thousand tonnes of wheat can provide Mongolian annual flour demand. Therefore, Mongolia will not have to import flour because of this year’s good harvest.

Farmers and various companies have kept back  45.5 thousand of grain, National Emergancy Management Agency (NEMA) over 1300 tonnes and the Crop Farming Support Fund is holding 2000 tonnes  for planting next year.
