Prodeco could pump up the volume during the last quarter and achieve export target

摘要

Prodeco exported 1.13 million tonnes of coal in September, which sets the January-September total at 10.26 million tonnes. If Pro-deco's export volume holds steady at September's level during the remaining three months of the year, the company's total exports in 2011 would reach 13.65 million tonnes. That's lower than Prodeco's 15.0 million tonne export target. Sources in Colombia tell Coal Americas that Prodeco experienced periodic disruptions in production at both the Calenturitas and La Jagua open cast mines in early September. However, weather conditions have improved in recent weeks. "We don't expect weather to present any major problems," a source said. "We are having some rain, but it isn't anything like what we experienced last year."
