In China, Met Coke production saw no major change in Nov’17, albeit a slight dip of around 0.9% over the production in Oct’17, according to an analysis on the production data collected by CoalMint Research.
In the penultimate month of 2017, around 34.5 MnT of Met Coke was produced in that country against the production of around 34.8 MnT in Oct’17. The slight shrinkage in the production was due to the some production cuts implemented from mid Nov’17 in order to curb pollution during the winter season.
