China had a summer grain harvest of 106.27 million tons this year, an increase of 5.12 million tons, or 5.1 percent, from a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said Wednesday.

This year's early rice production also increased, said bureau spokesman Zheng Jingping, at a press conference, without giving concrete figures.

With the fast development of the animal husbandry sector, the output of meats grew by 6.2 percent year on year, he said.
