China's April Coal Output Falls to Lowest Level Since Oct 2022

CHINA - BEIJING. China's coal production in April fell to its lowest level since Oct 2022, statistics bureau data and Reuters records showed on Friday, as weak pricing and continued close monitoring of mine safety conditions curbed output.

Output was 371.67 million metric tons last month, down 2.9% from a year earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. That was also down 7% from March.
