Indonesia's coke exports jump 17% YoY in May

Indonesia exported a total of 677,202 tonnes of coke in May, including both metallurgical coke and semi-coke, marking a 16.7% year-on-year increase and a sharper 25.6% rise from April, according to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). May marked the highest monthly export volume recorded since January, the statistics showed.
