The cross-sections of 
meson production in proton-proton collisions at 
are measured with a data sample collected by the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 
. The production cross-sections for prompt mesons and those for mesons from b-hadron decays (
) are determined as functions of the transverse momentum, 
, and the rapidity, y, of the meson in the kinematic range 
and 
. The production cross-sections integrated over this kinematic region are 
A new measurement of production cross-sections in pp collisions at 
is also performed using data collected in 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 
. The integrated production cross-sections in the kinematic range 
and are 
All results show reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations.
