Chinas coal imports from Russia increased by 6 in March, reaching 7.33 million tonnes compared to the same month last year.
Source data from the General Administration of Customs, as reported by Reuters Details Despite Western sanctions, Russian coal exports to China continue to grow.
Meanwhile, coal imports from Indonesia Chinas largest coal supplier fell by 9 to 17.96 million tonnes.
This decline followed Indonesias decision to implement a governmentset benchmark price as the minimum price for transactions starting 1 March.
Overall coal imports into China fell by 6 in March.
This drop was driven by high port stockpiles and weak domestic demand, which pushed spot prices down to a fouryear low.
Background In April, exports of Russian Arctic oil to China are growing sharply, supported by shiptoship STS transfers at sea, which help bypass US sanctions.
