428.9 thousand tons of grain harvested www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry has reported the results of the harvesting of 2020.
This year, 428.9 thousand tons of grain, of which 408.1 thousand tons of wheat, 240.5 thousand tons of potatoes, 113.5 thousand tons of vegetables, 21.2 thousand tons of oil plants and 169.4 thousand tons of fodder plants were harvested from 522 thousand hectares of land.
It requires 306 thousand tons of wheat to secure the domestic need of flour. Currently, it is short by 68 thousand tons. In connection with the global outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, it is needed to stock up additional 82 thousand tons of wheat for the domestic need. The shortage was due to the increased frequency of precipitation in summer and autumn. Moreover, farmers made the wheat as a substitution to fodder plant in response to the drought and poor pasture, which negatively affected the crop balance.
