Russia has dropped from the world's top three suppliers of non-coking coal - Kommersant Russian exporters have reduced the supply of non-coking coal during the first nine months of this year by more than 18%, giving way to third place in shipments to South Africa. The dynamics were affected by the weakening of demand and difficulties in supplying Turkey, as well as competition with Mongolia in the Chinese market. The volume of global trade in non-coking coal will continue to decline, analysts predict.
