It has sold nearly 22 million tonnes of coal, up 3.8million tonnes from the same period last year.
The group generated about 66 trillion VND in revenueduring the period and estimated to have 6.53 million tonnes of coal in inventory,a decrease of 2.47 million tonnes from the year’s start. The firm’s productionof alumina stood at 654,000 tonnes.
The positive result was attributed to Vinacomin’s goodmarket research which allowed the group to sell its products at the right timewhen the prices went up.
The local demand for coal for production of electricity,cement, fertiliser and others is forecast to remain high in the time ahead so Vinacominwill manage to balance the coal production and sales to reduce inventory and meetthe demand at the same time.
This year, Vinacomin sets to sell from 38.5 – 39 tonnesof coal, including 34.2 million tonnes of clean coal, up 1.32 million tonnesyear on year.-VNA
