China has witnessed another bumper summer grain harvest this year, the country's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported on Saturday, despite adverse weather effect in some parts of the country hurting per-unit output.

Summer grain output totaled 146.13 million tons this year, down 0.9 percent or 1.27 million tons from a year ago, data from the NBS showed. The output of this summer grain has stabilized and decreased slightly, and is still at a relatively high level, achieving a bumper harvest, said Wang Guirong, director of the bureau's rural division.

Summer grain yield per hectare went down 1.2 percent to 5,491.8 kilograms. Wheat, a major grain, saw harvest decline by 1.3 percent year-on-year in terms of harvest per hectare.
