Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry has reported that Mongolia will import wheat from the Russian Federation next month.
As weather conditions caused crop loss this year, Mongolia made a decision to import wheat from Russia at a market price.
At present, 20 percent of home-grown wheat has been sold as flour mills purchase about 5,000-20,000 tons of wheat at a time.
Although snow fell earlier this month, causing temporary halt, the harvesting is continuing across the nation, officials said.
