JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has set the country’s coal production target at 550 million tonnes for next year, a figure unchanged from this year, due to the raging pandemic.

Energy ministry coal business director Sujatmiko told reporters at the 2020 Coal and Mineral Virtual Expo on Dec 10 that next year’s target “takes into account economic recovery, following the Covid-19 pandemic, for both the domestic and export market”.
