Instead of  dropped in exports in April  “Chinese interests are still there and it will continue,"  an exporter from East Kalimantan said.

Indian & Chinese buyers are dominating Indoensian coal market since 2nd half of last year and it is seems that, the trend will continue and India & China will be major importers of Indonesian coal for this year.

Due to wet weather in Indoensian, availability of coal was tight against higher  demand, which drive coal price of all types of coal to north. According to a coal buyer from India, Low GCV coal from Sumatra island is being offered mid $ 50 / MT for June 2010 loading and expecting to increase  further. Higher calorific value coal is also seems to be increasing drastically in Indonesia.

Indian buyers are around Indonesia to book 6300 (GAD) Kcal/kg coal for June / July loading.  Meantime, Indian end users are also actively looking for potential coal properties in Sumatra and Kalimantan islands to secure their future fuel requirements.
