Mongolia’s coal export increased during the first two months, the Ministry of Economy and Development reported.

Specifically, Mongolia exported 10 million tonnes of coal in January, which represents a 73 percent increase compared with 5.8 million tonnes during the same period of last year. On average, about 326 thousand tonnes of coal were exported per day during the month.  

In February, Mongolia exported 6.4 million tonnes of coal, up by 11 percent from 5.7 million tonnes in February last year. The export volume declined somewhat due to overlapping Lunar New Year holidays in Mongolia and China and relatively shorter number of days in the month. However, excluding the holiday period, the country still exported an average of around 320 thousand tonnes of coal per day.

As of March 10, Mongolia had exported 3 million tonnes of coal, which is 2.6 times higher than the 1.3 million tonnes exported during the same period last year. The country is currently exporting an average of about 330 thousand tons of coal per day.
