Thanks to realizing the Third campaign, Mongolia harvested one million tons of wheat in the years 2008-2010, and thus satisfied a condition to fully provide its population with wheat. Mongolia could also reserve potatoes that are to provide the population by 100 per cent. This year, only 60 percent of demand in vegs will be covered this year, the Minister has added.
He has told the Premier that quality of wheat as well as of its gluten has improved. In response, the Premier has underlined that providing people with wheat and potatoes is a nice opportunity to ensure the food safety.

The Premier has congratulated all those working in the agricultural sector and farming on good outcome of the campaign and wished them a success.
