The Executive Director of the Agriculture Support Department in the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, L.Duinkherjav, has told the newspaper Uls Turiin Toim that this year’s wheat crop should be enough to meet the entire domestic demand and still have a surplus that can be exported. This is an indication of how agriculture has improved in the last three years because of Government policy and investment.
Ministry officials have held preliminary talks on exporting, even if it is not a large amount, to China. With 120,000 tons of wheat in stock and a plentiful harvest expected, the Ministry expects no rise in the price of flour and flour products.
