Indonesian coal production in December was 35.25 million t, while exports in January were 30 million t, up from 25.9 million t in December, ministry data showed.
"Production of coal in January 2015 decline compared to January 2014 because of the price," said Gultom Guska, head of subdirectorate supervision of coal mining at the energy and mineral resources ministry.
