The demand for coal is projected to rise sharply this month, particularly for power plants, given lower rainfall and increased production to prepare for the upcoming Lunar New Year celebration. The Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (Vinacomin) in January aims to produce 2.9 million tonnes of raw coal and import approximately 1.3 million tonnes to supply for power, cement, fertiliser and chemical production. Coal exports are set to hit around 27,500 tonnes, according to Vinacomin. VNA Photo: Quốc Khánh
