"Obviously, that's followed the export of domestic consumption. If domestic consumption is satisfied, the rest could be exported. Possibility of [export] increased by about 10% there, but we do not expect jor-fishing rod, which is quite important domestic needs first, "he said, today. Based on the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 1604 on the stipulation K/30/MEM/2010 Minimum Requirements and Percentage of Coal Sales of Domestic Interest in 2010, citing the need for domestic purposes by the user of coal in 2010 is estimated to reach 64.95 million tons with a minimum percentage coal for domestic sales of about 24.75%.
