Summer farm produce output falls in China
China produced less summer farm produce in 2016 than last year's record, but it was still the second-largest amount in history, according to figures published on Tuesday. Output reached 139 million metric tons this year, down 1.2 percent year-on-year, the National Bureau of Statistics said. The drop resulted mainly from climatic factors, said NBS senior statistician Hou Rui. The total area under summer crops was unchanged from last year. Yield per hectare was 5.04 tons, down 1.2 percent from last year.
