With yet another bumper harvest of crops, Mongolia's agricultural production has exceeded domestic demand, local media said Wednesday.

Mongolia's wheat production reached 457,000 tons, way beyond its domestic demand. The government is seeking ways to export wheat, said the reports.

As of November 1, Mongolia had harvested 470,500 tons of cereals, 245,600 tons of potatoes and 97,800 tons of vegetables, according to figures of the National Statistical Office of Mongolia.

Compared to the same period of 2011, potato production grew 23.2 percent while cereal output rose by 5.7 percent, or 25,200 tons.

Mongolia launched its third land reclamation campaign in 2008. The country's grain production has since increased greatly.
