LONDON, March 22<\/span> (Reuters) – Asia’s share of South Africa’s
\ncoal exports rose to 78 percent or 4.7 million tonnes in
\nFebruary out of a total of 6 million, up from 61 percent in the
\nprevious month, exporters said.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Asia, including India, has taken an increasing proportion of
\nSouth Africa’s coal during the past few years and despite the
\nsubstantial rise in monthly export tonnages seen since last
\nJune, while Europe’s share has been shrinking.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Although China has been largely out of the spot market since
\nDecember, imports previously bought have continued to be
\nshipped, as the February data show.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

China and India’s ability to absorb South Africa’s coal, as
\nthe country has maintained a higher monthly level of exports,
\nhas been a key factor supporting international coal prices in
\nrecent months.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

India took 1.9 million tonnes in February, up from 1.3
\nmillion in January.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

China, a key spot buyer of most coal origins, took 965,000
\ntonnes in February, up from 316,000 in January.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Atlantic market as a whole accounted for 1.3 million
\ntonnes in February, down from 1.6 in January.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA), Europe’s main coal import
\nhub, brought in only 160,000 tonnes or one capesize cargo of
\nSouth African coal in February.
